Hoka does it again with the Clifton 10, another comfy and responsive shoe that I can't wait to put a million miles on.

Replaced Hoka Clifton 10
I liked the previous pair of Hoka Clifton 10 that your retail store fitted me for so much, I ordered the exact pair online. Got many miles on old Shoes, and so far same possitive experience with new shoes.

Excellent shoes
These shoes are the most comfortable I have ever worn. I especially like the heel cushion and that the back of the shoe is reinforced so your foot slips into the shoe without breaking down the heel cup.

Marathon Sports Rocks!
Marathon Sports was a great experience: easy to order on-line, one week to ship shoes to the West coast, and superior prices. I will continue to use in the future. HOKA Clifton 10 is like running on springs

Great performance and comfort

The best show for those that love to walk
Recently switched to the Cliftons from the Bondi’s. Have several pairs of the Bondi 7’s and 8’s which I really like because of the cushioning, but I have to say the Cliftons not only provide the comfort of the Bondi’s but also provide an extra level of stability that I did not realize that I needed and was missing. Again I love both shoes but I have to say that I now will only wear the Clifton’s.

Good shoes, excellent exprience from Marathon
Have not had a lot of time to use this shoe, purchased it because of recommendation from web search for a good walking shoe. In limited use this shoe seems to satisfy my walking requirements for comfort and it doesn't hurt that it is an attractive color. Marathon Sports did a great job with timely shipping and ease of ordering.

Hoka Clifton 10
I like the Clifton 9 and have used them for a while, I really like my first pair of 10's. I like them for both training and racing, seems to have just right balance of comfort and performance. (M60-69)

HOKAS by Need
Purchased for my husband who is just starting his fitness journey. He describes the shoes as comfortable and very likes the thick sole. However of the two pair he now owes, he likes these the least. We found it suspicious that the shoes arrived already tied as if someone may be tried them and returned them. Had he mentioned that before I disposed of the packing, I would’ve returned them. At least the shoes didn’t look wore underneath, otherwise, I would’ve connected with Marathon for a resolution.

So far so good. The 2E wide size was delivered promptly. The additional MM heel drop seems to be going OK.

Not a fan of the increased heel to toe drop
I’ve ran in the Clifton’s for years, the new change to the drop from 5 to 8 was not welcomed. The quality of the shoe is great but this is a big departure from the Clifton we all know and love and I’m not sure I like it.
