OVERVIEW

The Clifton is the daily that sold Hoka to the world — first released in 2014, refined now through the 10. Clifton 10 is the biggest geometry change in a decade: 42/34 mm stack, 8 mm drop, widened toebox, heel-striker's Clifton. Clifton 9 holds the classic 5 mm-drop silhouette; the 9 GTX adds a Gore-Tex Invisible Fit membrane for wet commutes and shoulder-season rain. Clifton 9 GTX, Gore-Tex Invisible Fit laminated upper, 5 mm drop, 272 g. Wet-commute Clifton.

MATERIALS & CARE

Air-dry away from direct heat after wet runs - never tumble dry. Spot-clean uppers with a soft brush and mild soap; do not machine-wash, as it breaks down midsole foam and adhesives. Remove the sockliner between wet runs to let both layers dry. Rotate between two pairs where possible - supercritical EVA and PEBA midsoles recover loft with 24 hours of rest. Do not bleach or dry-clean. Store at room temperature away from prolonged UV exposure, which hardens foam.
