Hoka Clifton 10 Sizing Guide: Does It Run Small or True to Size?

Fit Notes

Hoka Clifton 9

The Clifton 9 runs true to size in length with a narrow-leaning taper that pinched many toes. The 10 keeps the length and adds the forefoot volume the 9 lacked, with a more secured collar. Buy the same size in both; 9 wearers who sized around tightness will find the 10 kinder in the same size.

Hoka Bondi 9

The Bondi 9 is Hoka's max-cushion flagship with a broader, plusher wrap than the Clifton line. The Clifton 10 feels lighter and more nimble next to it while borrowing some of that protective feel. Keep your Bondi size in the Clifton 10, but expect a snugger midfoot and a less enveloping collar.

Brooks Ghost 16

The Ghost 16 is nominally true to size with a contoured, snug fit that pushes many runners half up. The Clifton 10 is the easier true-to-size shoe of the two, with more forgiving forefoot volume. Ghost wearers who sized up for snugness can try their true size in the Clifton first.

Nike Pegasus 41

The Pegasus 41 runs true to size in length with a snug, performance-locked midfoot and tapered toe box. The Clifton 10 gives toes more splay room and rolls through transitions with its rocker. Standard-width runners hold their size across both; wide-footed runners should prefer each model's wide version over sizing up.
