HOKA Clifton 10

First look

The Clifton is HOKA's everyday cushioned trainer, and HOKA sells the Clifton 10 as a running and walking shoe. It has a jacquard knit upper, a compression-moulded EVA midsole shaped into HOKA's rocker sole, and a rubber outsole. HOKA lists an 8 mm heel-to-toe drop and a weight of 9.8 oz (about 278 g) for the men's shoe, and Gear Patrol puts the stack height at 42 mm for a men's size 10. The Clifton 10 carries the American Podiatric Medical Association's Seal of Acceptance, according to HOKA.

The regular Canadian price is CA$180. In October 2026 HOKA Canada had the White / White pair on sale online at CA$117 for men and CA$144 for women, Sport Chek had the men's white on clearance at CA$107.97, and Simons listed the women's white at CA$180. HOKA introduced the Clifton 11 in July 2026 (CA$185 at Sport Chek), and white Clifton 10 sizes were thin: HOKA Canada had women's 10 to 11 and a handful of men's sizes left. Wide fits were available in white for men and women, and Simons lists the footbed as removable, which matters if you wear orthotics.

For a Canadian winter, skip it: the knit upper lets in slush and shows salt lines. Keep it for dry months and clean the upper gently with mild soap and a soft brush. Our picks are based on construction, materials, price and availability in Canada; hands-on Lab results are being added as each pair finishes testing.
