What we like in regards to the On Cloudsurfer 2
ROBBE: Aesthetically, it’s a fairly handsome shoe. It does look quite a bit like a couple of different On footwear in the meanwhile, particularly the Cloudeclipse. Meg didn’t like her colorway, however I didn’t have an issue with mine. It’s not as clear because the Cloudrunner 2, nevertheless it’ll do.
On the run, my favourite factor in regards to the shoe is the graceful transition, thanks partly to its rockered geometry and possibly, probably, the CloudTec Section. It’s onerous to know if the CloudTec Section and the place of the midsole cutouts actually make a distinction within the stride, however for the sake of this overview, I’ll say that they assist. In the identical method that the Asics Novablast is buttery easy, so is the Cloudsurfer. Perhaps not as a lot, however pretty easy.
If you happen to’re the kind of runner who likes a throwback really feel to when trainers have been trainers, not mattresses below the foot, then this shoe could curiosity you. On says the midsole remains to be Helion, which I suppose it’s, however they firmed it up for certain. In a technique, it’s a great factor — the unique Cloudsurfer was mushy and soft, nevertheless it additionally collapsed on affect with a great quantity of floor really feel within the forefoot. The midsole is firmer on this shoe, which does present a extra responsive journey. However it comes with tradeoffs.
