PositiveLong-term durability report: after ~900 km, including hard summer ultra training, it is still usable. Recommended for marathon-plus distances, 5:00/km-and-slower paces and jogging. True to size; choose the wide version for broad feet, or size up with an aftermarket insole.
Most runners find the HOKA Clifton 10 soft, comfortable and good for easy and long runs, with several getting plenty of miles from it. It is not a fast shoe. A few who loved the Clifton 9 found the 10 firmer, clunky or wobbly, and one found it underwhelming for running.
