The Hoka Clifton 10 is a notable everyday running shoe designed for comfort-seekers. With an increased drop of 5 mm, it is particularly ideal for heel strikers.
This model features a raised stack height and a widened toebox, which contribute to its stability during runs. The lab results indicate a weight increase, along with the use of foam that may be less responsive compared to previous models.
Despite these changes, the Hoka Clifton 10 offers a reliable option for those seeking a stable platform for their daily activities.
