Details

The HOKA Clifton 10 continues the legacy of one of the most trusted and beloved daily trainers in running. Combining lightweight construction with signature cushioning, this tenth-generation model refines comfort, fit, and durability while preserving the smooth, effortless ride that has defined the Clifton line for over a decade.


At its core, the Clifton 10 features HOKA’s classic CMEVA midsole, delivering plush cushioning and a responsive, balanced feel that adapts to a wide range of paces. Additional padding under the heel softens landings, while the signature MetaRocker geometry promotes fluid heel-to-toe transitions for a naturally efficient stride. A newly engineered insole enhances underfoot comfort, making each step feel as fresh as the first.


Beneath, durable rubber outsole zones provide reliable traction and long-lasting performance across daily mileage. The updated engineered mesh upper improves heel and forefoot fit, enhances breathability, and delivers a secure, comfortable lockdown for runs of any distance.


From easy recovery runs to long training efforts, the HOKA Clifton 10 offers the ideal balance of lightweight support and cushioning that keeps runners coming back year after year.


MIDSOLE

  • CMEVA foam is compression molded EVA, providing HOKA's world-famous cushioning and comfort.
  • Smooth MetaRocker geometry is engineered to gently promote and encourage an efficient gait.
  • Rearfoot-focused Active Foot Frame provides inherent stability, almost like a bucket seat.
  • Molded EVA sockliner has an improved arch fit and adds to the premium underfoot sensation. 

OUTSOLE

  • Durabrasion rubber provides long-lasting traction and protection.

UPPER

  • Double-creel jacquard knit promotes additional airflow as well as support in key areas. Refinements include an improved fit in the heel and forefoot, an updated ankle collar shape, and a double lace-lock on the tongue to keep the tongue from shifting around.
  • This style is vegan, not just the upper.
