The On Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof excels in providing a plush yet stable running experience across various terrains and weather conditions. The combination of Helion™ Superfoam and CloudTec® creates a feeling of 'running on clouds,' absorbing impact effectively while returning energy for a springy toe-off. This makes it ideal for longer runs, recovery runs, or daily training where comfort and protection are paramount. The robust heel clip and reinforced upper work together to cradle the foot, promoting a stable and efficient gait, especially beneficial for runners who need a degree of support. For example, during a rainy 10k, the waterproof membrane keeps your feet completely dry, while the redesigned outsole ensures you maintain grip without worrying about pebbles getting lodged. Despite its generous cushioning and structure, it remains remarkably lightweight for its category, minimizing fatigue over extended distances. The updated plush tongue adds to the immediate step-in comfort, making it a reliable choice for consistent, comfortable mileage.
