- ✕You run primarily on technical trails
Consensus Summary
The On Cloudrunner 2 offers a moderate cushioning experience with a 10mm heel drop and a stack height of 39mm in the heel, making it suitable for daily training at easy to moderate paces. Reviewers note its comfortable fit right out of the box, with a wide toe box that accommodates various foot shapes. However, it runs slightly large, and some runners experience heel slippage despite using heel lock lacing. The midsole provides a firmer ride than expected, which may not appeal to those seeking a plush feel. While it performs well for walking and slower runs, it lacks responsiveness for faster paces, and the outsole durability could be improved given the shoe's price point.
