Hoka's flagship daily trainer in its 10th generation, 4.5 stars and 2,300+ Amazon reviews. The added 3mm of foam over the Clifton 9 makes it noticeably softer underfoot, with the same lightweight ride that made Hoka a household name.
Pros
- 3mm more midsole foam than the Clifton 9 makes longer runs and recovery days noticeably gentler on knees and hips
- Redesigned heel geometry smooths the landing for heel-strikers and reduces the abrupt stop the v9 sometimes had
- Engineered mesh upper breathes well and locks the midfoot down without hot spots
- Lightweight at around 8.7 oz so it feels closer to a tempo shoe than its cushion stack would suggest
Cons
- Standard width runs narrow, especially in the toe box; runners with normal-to-wide feet often need to size up half a size or order the wide version
Frequently asked questions
Should I order regular or wide width?
If you have normal-width feet, the regular fits but is on the narrow side, especially in the toe box. Many runners with normal feet end up preferring the wide version. If you've worn a wide running shoe before, definitely go wide.
How does the Clifton 10 compare to the Clifton 9?
The 10 has 3mm more midsole foam, a redesigned heel geometry, and a refined upper. Expect a softer landing and a slightly more cushioned overall feel. Total stack height is taller; runners who liked the firmer feel of the v9 sometimes prefer to stick with the older model.
Can I use it for long-distance running, like marathons?
Yes, the Clifton is one of the most popular marathon-day shoes for the back-of-the-pack and recreational runners who want comfort over a fast turnover. For a faster racing shoe, look at the Mach or Rocket X line.
Is it good for walking and being on your feet all day?
Excellent. The Clifton is the most-recommended Hoka model for nurses, teachers, and anyone on their feet for 8+ hours a day. The cushion and rocker geometry both help with all-day comfort, not just running.
