Hoka Clifton 10 Review: The Best Daily Trainer Gets a Little Better

Hoka Clifton 10 Review: The Best Daily Trainer Gets a Little Better

The Clifton has been Hoka‘s signature everyday trainer for years, and the Clifton 10 doesn’t mess with the formula. What it does is refine it: lighter upper, updated foam geometry, and a slightly revised outsole that grips better in wet conditions without giving up any of the smooth ride that made the line famous.

The fit is true to size with a roomy toe box, which is consistent with previous Cliftons. Stack height stays in that 29mm / 33mm range that keeps it planted without feeling like you’re running on a platform. The transition from heel to toe is seamless. This shoe wants you to keep moving.

If you already run in Cliftons, the 10 is the version to upgrade to. If you’ve never tried Hoka, this is the right starting point. Available now at Hoka.com and run specialty retailers for $145.
