HOKA Clifton 10 Women's Running Shoes - Light and Plush for Everyday Miles

A reliable companion for daily training miles, the HOKA Clifton has been a cornerstone of cushioned running shoes for over a decade. This latest update introduces a new era of plush performance with an enhanced underfoot experience—an additional 3mm heel-to-toe drop and extra heel cushioning provide improved comfort for every run.

 

 

The Cushioning That Made It Famous

The Clifton retains the ultralight cushioning that established it as a favourite whilst refining the fit for superior performance. The CMEVA midsole delivers that signature soft landing without extra weight, helping keep your legs feeling fresher through high-mileage training weeks.

 

 

Enhanced Fit and Breathability

A breathable jacquard knit upper provides improved ventilation whilst maintaining structure. The double-lace lock system addresses tongue migration—a common concern resolved through thoughtful engineering. Reflective upper details boost visibility for early morning or evening runs.

 

 

Engineered for Smooth Transitions

The smooth MetaRocker™ geometry generates a natural rolling motion from heel strike through toe-off. Paired with the rearfoot-focused Active Foot Frame™, you receive stability in key areas and flexibility where it matters. The moulded EVA sockliner provides step-in comfort, whilst inherently durable abrasion rubber on the outsole manages daily mileage.
