Game-Changing Cushioning

Let’s start with the biggest update to the Clifton, the stack height. The Clifton 10 features a 42mm heel and 34mm forefoot, compared to the Clifton 9’s already generous 32/27mm setup. That means an extra 10mm of HOKA’s signature CMEVA foam under your feet. While that might sound excessive, we made it possible by delivering a cloud-like ride that’s still stable, responsive, and incredibly light on the foot.

Despite the extra foam, this shoe doesn’t feel bulky. In fact, it’s lighter than its predecessor at a featherweight of 9.8 oz for men and 8.0 oz for women. More cushioning, less weight, and everything you need to smash your next PB.

The Clifton 10 vs the Clifton 9

• Stack Height: Clifton 10 adds 10mm more foam (42mm vs. 32mm).

• Heel-to-Toe Drop: Increased from 5mm in the Clifton 9 to 8mm in the Clifton 10 for a more pronounced forward roll.

• Upper Material: Clifton 10 uses a new double jacquard knit upper for improved comfort and breathability.

• Fit Options: Clifton 10 offers a roomier fit with added extra-wide sizing.

• Weight: Clifton 10 is lighter despite being more cushioned - 9.8 oz for men and 8.0 oz for women.

Ultra-comfortable upper

The Clifton 10 doesn't just feel better underfoot, it fits better too. The new double jacquard knit upper hugs your foot like a second skin, offering breathability and stretch where you need it most. The heel collar is smoother and more refined, removing irritation, while the slightly roomier forefoot gives your toes space to splay naturally, something that those who love a long run will appreciate.

If you've ever struggled with narrow fits, the Clifton 10 is available in standard, wide running shoes, and extra wide options, making it one of the most inclusive daily trainers out there.

A smoother, more energised ride

With an increased heel-to-toe drop of 8mm (up from 5mm in the Clifton 9), the Clifton 10 offers a snappier toe-off and more propulsion in your stride. Whether you're pounding the roads on a long run or taking it easy with some short recovery miles, this running shoe keeps your legs fresher, longer.

The rocker geometry HOKA is known for is still doing its work, now enhanced with extra cushioning and refined design, giving runners the smoothest ride on the market.
