The outsole choice matters as much as the model name.
The FF 4 is worth trying alongside the SONICSMASH FF if you prefer ASICS' faster-moving designs. ASICS specifies a softer update to its FLYTEFOAM cushioning and uses SPEEDTRUSS for support. That does not make the two shoes interchangeable: the upper, outsole and fit still need a separate comparison.
A padel player who reported using the FF 4 for two months liked its support and grip on their sandy courts. That is useful owner feedback, but it does not establish how the Clay version will grip every padel surface. Start with the outsole type your club recommends, especially if your usual court has little loose sand.
FLYTEFOAM cushioning, SPEEDTRUSS support, and a PU loop with reinforced eyelets on the medial side of the upper.
The checked men's Clay version is standard width. Check toe room and heel hold with your usual playing socks. Keep any women's fit advice separate; the generic family name does not establish a shared fit.

Yes, where a clay-style outsole suits the court. It is worth comparing on courts with loose sand, but grip varies with the turf and sand level. If you are unsure, ask your club which outsole works on its courts before ordering.
The checked Clay model uses FLYTEFOAM, according to ASICS. It pairs that cushioning with SPEEDTRUSS support.
Check the outsole version, men's or women's fit, and your exact size. A cheaper all-court pair or a different fit is a different purchase, even if the listing uses the same model name.
