HOKA Clifton 11 vs Saucony Endorphin Speed 4
Sqwod verdict
Our pick: Saucony Endorphin Speed 4 takes it — 82 vs 81.
Both are strong — the call comes down to what you prioritise:
- HOKA Clifton 11 — You coach easy-day and recovery clients, or heavier heel strikers, who want soft, protective cushioning in a neutral daily trainer.
- Saucony Endorphin Speed 4 — Runners who want one shoe for daily miles, tempo and race day, especially at today's discounted prices.
HOKA Clifton 11
81Score · Medium
from €119
A lighter, softer and better-fitting Clifton for easy miles. The foam is unchanged, so it is still protective rather than lively, and outsole wear is an open question.
Our pick 
Saucony Endorphin Speed 4
82Score · Medium
from €125.99
A benchmark nylon-plated super-trainer: light, bouncy and genuinely do-it-all. With the Speed 5 out, the 4 is now a steal at German street prices.
