Hoka Clifton 10 Women's Road Running Shoe - Rose Cream Dried Rose

The Hoka Clifton 10 is the latest iteration in Hoka's renowned Clifton series, offering enhanced comfort, stability, and performance for runners and walkers alike.Building upon the success of the Clifton 9, this model introduces several key updates to elevate your running experience.​

Key Features:

• Increased Cushioning:The Clifton 10 features a higher stack height of 42mm at the heel and 34mm at the forefoot, resulting in an 8mm drop. This is an increase from the previous 5mm drop in the Clifton 9, providing a more cushioned and comfortable ride.​

• Enhanced Stability:With a broader heel platform, Active Foot Frame, and a robust heel counter, the Clifton 10 offers improved rearfoot stability compared to its predecessor.​

• Breathable Upper:The engineered mesh upper ensures breathability and a secure fit, adapting to various foot shapes and sizes.​

• Durable Outsole:Strategically placed rubber zones on the outsole enhance durability and traction, making it suitable for long-distance runs.​

• Lightweight Design:Despite the added cushioning, the Clifton 10 maintains a lightweight profile, weighing approximately 278g (9.8oz) for a men's size 9.​

The Hoka Clifton 10 is designed as a versatile, everyday running shoe that prioritizes comfort and a smooth, stable ride. For runners.

Key benefits of using the Clifton 10 include:

• Exceptional Cushioning and Comfort:The shoe features a plush, compression-molded EVA (CMEVA) foam midsole that provides a "running on clouds" feeling. This makes it ideal for daily training and long-distance runs, as the soft cushioning helps to absorb impact and reduce joint stress.

• Smooth and Efficient Stride:Hoka's signature "Meta-Rocker" geometry is built into the shoe, creating a curved sole that promotes a natural, rolling motion from heel to toe. This helps propel the runner forward with each step, making for a smooth and efficient gait.

• Enhanced Stability:Despite its high stack height, the Clifton 10 offers a stable platform. It includes a wider base and a "Rearfoot-focused Active Foot Frame," where the foot sits deep within the midsole, rather than just on top of it. This cradles the foot and provides a secure, planted feel.

• Improved Fit:The Clifton 10 addresses previous critiques of Hoka's narrower fit by offering a more accommodating volume in the forefoot and midfoot. The updated jacquard knit upper provides a secure, wrap-like fit while remaining breathable. A double-lace lock system helps to prevent the tongue from sliding around.

• Versatility:While it excels as a daily trainer and long-run shoe, the Clifton 10 is also praised for its versatility. Its balance of cushioning and responsiveness makes it a great option for recovery runs and even walking, providing comfort and support for a wide range of activities.

Improvements Over Clifton 9:

• Higher Drop:Transitioning from a 5mm to an 8mm drop offers a more traditional running shoe feel, catering to a broader range of runners.​

• Increased Stack Height:The additional 3mm in heel stack enhances cushioning, providing a softer landing and improved shock absorption.​

• Wider Fit Options:The Clifton 10 is available in standard, wide, and extra-wide widths, accommodating various foot shapes and ensuring a comfortable fit.​

• Improved Upper Design:The updated mesh upper offers better breathability and a more secure fit, enhancing overall comfort during runs.​

  • Weight:Approximately 275g (Men’s size 9).​

  • Heel-to-Toe Drop:8mm.​

  • Best For:Road running, walking, and daily training.
