• How does the toe box of the Women's HOKA Clifton 10 Road Running Shoes compare to the HOKA Gaviota 5, especially for someone who wears a wide size due to bunions?

  The toe boxes between the HOKA Clifton 10 and the HOKA Gaviota 5 are quite different. While you likely won't need an extra wide in the Clifton, an 8 Wide will feel snugger than your Gaviota 5. If the Clifton presses uncomfortably, the HOKA Bondi is recommended as it offers a similar plush, neutral ride but features a naturally wider, higher-volume base for a more accommodating fit.

• How do I clean the Women's HOKA Clifton 10 Road Running Shoes?

  It is not recommended to wash these shoes in a washing machine or dryer. For safe handwashing, follow these instructions:

  • Remove the laces and insoles. Wash the laces separately in warm, soapy water.
  • Use a soft-bristled brush or old toothbrush to gently scrub off dry mud and debris from the upper and outsole.
  • Mix lukewarm water with a small drop of mild liquid laundry detergent or dish soap. Dip a soft cloth or sponge into the soapy water and gently spot-clean the upper and midsole.
  • Stuff the shoes with paper towels to help them hold their shape and absorb internal moisture, then let them air-dry in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep them away from direct sunlight, radiators, or warm air vents, as heat can melt the adhesive and shrink the shoe.
