HOKA Clifton 10 vs Saucony Endorphin Speed 5
Sqwod verdict
Our pick: HOKA Clifton 10 takes it — 83 vs 81.
Both are strong — the call comes down to what you prioritise:
- HOKA Clifton 10 — You coach easy-day and recovery clients who want maximum, protective cushioning in a stable neutral daily trainer.
- Saucony Endorphin Speed 5 — You coach runners who want one shoe for daily miles, workouts and races, without the stiffness of a carbon plate.
Our pick 
HOKA Clifton 10
83Score · Medium
from €127.99
A plusher, more protective but heavier Clifton — an excellent max-cushion easy-day cruiser, not a fast shoe.
Saucony Endorphin Speed 5
81Score · Medium
from €160
Still one of the most versatile plated trainers you can buy, now softer, bouncier and roomier. It costs more than the discounted Speed 4, and durability has slipped.
