Our Verdict
Saucony Endorphin Pro 4
On Cloudboom Strike
The On Cloudboom Strike and Saucony Endorphin Pro 4 are both high-performance racing shoes but excel in different ways. The Saucony is more stable, provides better energy return, and has a stiffer forefoot foam, making it a stronger option for shorter-distance racing where a snappy, responsive ride is key. On the other hand, the On Running is more cushioned and lighter, making it a good choice for runners prioritizing comfort over longer distances while still maintaining race-day efficiency.
