The Clifton 10 is the latest version of Hoka’s most popular entry-level running shoe line. It now serves as the base model in Hoka’s comfort lineup, with the new Skyflow and the super-max-cushioned Bondi stepping in as the more premium and bouncier options for higher-mileage runners. Priced at $145, it competes with shoes like the Brooks Ghost Max 2 ($150) and the New Balance 880v15 ($140). While the Clifton 10 features an increased stack height and a higher heel-to-toe drop—up from 5 mm in the previous version to 8 mm—the midsole foam remains unchanged. The compression-molded EVA still delivers solid impact absorption and a smooth ride. The Clifton 10 is a great choice for anyone seeking a simple, classic-feeling running or walking shoe that prioritizes reliable comfort.
