The Rundown Light and plush for everyday miles. A trusted trainer for daily maintenance miles, the Clifton has been the keystone of our cushioned styles for 10 years and counting. Ushering in a new era of plush performance, this next-generation update delivers a revitalized underfoot experience with an additional 3mm in heel-to-toe drop. Delivering the same ultralight cushioning that made the Clifton a fan favorite, we’ve fine-tuned the fit and added a breathable jacquard upper with double-lace lock to mitigate tongue migration.

Construction: The Clifton 10 is meticulously crafted with a breathable jacquard knit upper, providing a snug yet accommodating fit that welcomes the foot. The core of its performance lies in the compression-molded EVA (CMEVA) midsole, delivering signature Hoka cushioning and impact absorption. Further enhancing the design are the molded EVA sockliner, the Durabrasion rubber outsole, and the thoughtful integration of smooth MetaRocker™ technology and a rearfoot-focused Active Foot Frame™ for a dynamic and responsive ride. Utility: Engineered for versatility, the Clifton 10 excels in various activities, from daily training and everyday running to long-distance endeavors and recovery miles. Its design prioritizes comfort, making it an ideal choice for those who spend extended periods on their feet, whether walking, working, or simply enjoying a casual outing.
