HOKA Clifton 10: Your Daily Miles Just Got More Comfortable

Sometimes, when you’re lacing up for those everyday runs, you just want a shoe that feels consistently good, mile after mile. Something reliable, comfortable, and ready for whatever the day throws at your feet. For many runners, that’s exactly what the HOKA Clifton has been for the past decade, and the new Clifton 10 continues that legacy, stepping up as a true workhorse for your daily miles.

The Clifton series has always been known for its generous cushioning, and the 10th iteration doesn’t stray from that path. It still features HOKA’s classic CMEVA foam midsole, which delivers that signature soft, protective ride many have come to appreciate. This latest version also brings a little extra underfoot, with added cushioning specifically under the heel, giving you an even softer landing. They’ve also adjusted the heel-to-toe drop to 8mm.

Whether you’re heading out for an easy jog, a longer maintenance run, or just need something comfy for a walk, the Clifton 10 is designed to make each step feel smooth. The shoe’s MetaRocker geometry is there to gently guide your foot through each stride, promoting an efficient feel no matter your pace. Plus, the molded EVA sockliner has an improved arch fit, adding to that overall premium sensation right beneath your foot.

The Clifton 10 also gets some thoughtful updates to its upper. You’ll find a new breathable jacquard knit that hugs your foot comfortably while allowing for good airflow, keeping things cool. They’ve also fine-tuned the fit in both the heel and the forefoot, aiming for a more secure and comfortable hold. And for those who’ve experienced a shifting tongue mid-run, you’ll be glad to know there’s a double-lace lock feature designed to keep the tongue right where it should be.

The Clifton 10 isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel; instead, it refines what runners already love. It remains a consistent pick for those prioritizing comfort and a smooth, cushioned experience on their everyday runs. While it excels at easy and recovery miles, offering that plush feel HOKA is known for, it’s not really built for your fastest workouts – and that’s perfectly fine. Sometimes, you just need a shoe that shows up, performs reliably, and keeps your feet happy.

If you’re looking for that reliable, comfortable shoe to carry you through countless daily miles, the HOKA Clifton 10 is certainly worth considering. It builds on a decade of comfort, ready to be your trusty companion on the road.
