The Hoka Clifton 10 represents the latest evolution in Hoka's renowned line of running shoes, offering an optimal combination of ultralight cushioning and enhanced performance. This model introduces significant improvements to the midsole geometry and underfoot transition, providing a more stable and comfortable running experience. They are designed for runners seeking a neutral shoe with balanced cushioning, ideal for daily training and long-distance runs. Their construction makes them especially suitable for distances ranging from 10 kilometers to the marathon, offering effective impact protection and a dynamic response with every stride. The upper of the Clifton 10 is made of breathable jacquard mesh that provides lightweight comfort and a snug fit. It also features a double-locking lacing system that helps prevent the tongue from shifting, ensuring consistent support throughout your run. The midsole uses compression-molded CMEVA foam, which provides lightweight and responsive cushioning. An additional 3 mm has been added to the drop, bringing it to 8 mm, which improves the heel-to-toe transition and contributes to a more stable stride. Furthermore, the inclusion of MetaRocker™ technology and the rearfoot-focused Active Foot Frame™ promote a smooth transition and more secure landings. The Clifton 10's outsole features durable, abrasion-resistant rubber strategically placed in high-wear areas to extend the shoe's lifespan. This design not only enhances durability but also provides reliable traction on a variety of surfaces, allowing runners to maintain a steady pace with confidence.
