The On Running Cloudrunner 2 excels as a daily training shoe, particularly for those who cover significant mileage or prioritize comfort over speed. Its CloudTec® cushioning in Zero-Gravity foam provides a remarkably soft landing, absorbing impact effectively to reduce fatigue during longer runs or recovery jogs. The supportive wider bottom unit and cradle-shaped construction work together to offer a stable and secure fit, guiding your foot through each stride without feeling restrictive. The Swiss-engineered Speedboard® adds a subtle propulsive element, making the shoe feel responsive and efficient, rather than just soft. The breathable mesh upper and cooling ventilation are crucial for maintaining comfort, especially on warmer days or during intense sessions. This shoe is well-suited for road running, light track work, and even walking, providing a consistent level of comfort and protection. It's an excellent choice for runners seeking a reliable, cushioned workhorse that can handle a variety of training demands.
Lacing: Begin by ensuring your socks are comfortable and free of creases. Loosen the laces completely.
Fit Check: Slide your foot in, ensuring your heel is firmly seated. There should be about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Secure Lacing: Tighten laces evenly from the forefoot upwards. Avoid over-tightening, which can restrict blood flow or cause discomfort. Use the additional eyelets if you need a more secure heel lock.
Initial Wear: Wear them for short walks before your first run to allow them to adapt slightly to your foot shape.
Terrain: Primarily designed for road running, track, and groomed paths. The cushioning and grip are optimized for hard, even surfaces.
Runner Type: Best suited for neutral runners or those requiring moderate stability due to its supportive design.
Activity: Ideal for daily training, long-distance running, recovery runs, and walking.
Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush. For tougher stains, hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
Drying: Air dry at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid compressing them when not in use to maintain the integrity of the cushioning.
Odor Control: Remove insoles occasionally to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers if needed.
