HOKA Clifton 10 Men’s Running Shoes
The HOKA Clifton 10 is a reliable daily trainer built for runners who want lightweight cushioning and a smooth ride for everyday kilometres. After a decade as one of HOKA’s most trusted running shoes, the Clifton continues to deliver comfort you can count on, whether you’re ticking off maintenance miles, easy runs, or longer efforts.
This latest update introduces a refreshed underfoot feel with an extra 3mm heel-to-toe drop, helping create a smoother, more balanced transition through each stride. The midsole geometry has been fine-tuned to provide an inherently stable ride without adding bulk, making it a solid option for neutral runners who value consistency and comfort.
Up top, the breathable jacquard knit upper improves airflow and fit, while the refined forefoot shape gives toes a bit more room to move naturally. A double-lace lock system keeps the tongue secure and makes getting in and out quicker, especially handy for daily training. Reflective details add visibility for early morning or evening runs.
Underfoot, HOKA’s CMEVA midsole cushioning delivers the soft, lightweight feel the Clifton is known for, paired with a Smooth MetaRocker™ profile that encourages an efficient, rolling stride. Durable abrasion rubber in key wear zones helps the shoe hold up to regular road running.
