Designed for adult runners prioritizing comfort, cushioning, and stability, the On Cloudrunner 2 offers a plush yet energetic ride for daily training and recovery runs. Its key advantage lies in the upgraded Helion Superfoam and CloudTec cushioning, delivering exceptional softness and energy return, alongside a commitment to sustainability with a high percentage of recycled materials. However, its structured design and 10mm offset might be less ideal for runners who prefer a more minimalist or low-drop experience.
Helion Superfoam Midsole: Upgraded full-length superfoam provides a softer feel and significantly higher energy return compared to its predecessor, enhancing comfort over long distances.
CloudTec Cushioning: Integrated with the Helion Superfoam, this technology delivers luxurious, lightweight cushioning and impact absorption for a smooth stride.
100% Recycled Polyester Upper: The entire upper is constructed from 100% recycled polyester, contributing to a more sustainable product with 30% total recycled content.
Breathable Mesh with Synthetic Overlays: Ensures optimal foot ventilation while providing durable support and a secure fit.
Upgraded Speedboard: Delivers an extra boost of propulsion, translating stored energy into forward motion for a more dynamic run.
Enhanced Stability Features: A durable heel clip and added reinforcements in the upper work together to lock in the foot, offering improved stability and support for an efficient stride.
Redesigned Outsole: Engineered to offer reliable durability and traction on various surfaces, with a new pattern specifically designed to prevent stones from getting stuck.
Plush Tongue Upgrade: A softer, more comfortable tongue finish enhances the immediate step-in feel and reduces pressure points across the top of the foot.

The On Cloudrunner 2 is engineered to be your go-to shoe for daily mileage, recovery runs, and long-distance training where comfort and protection are paramount. The combination of CloudTec cushioning and the new Helion Superfoam creates a plush yet responsive platform underfoot, effectively absorbing impact and providing a bouncy feel that encourages forward momentum. This makes it particularly suitable for runners who need reliable cushioning to mitigate fatigue over sustained efforts.
Thanks to its durable heel clip and reinforcements in the upper, the shoe offers robust stability, guiding your foot through a consistent stride. This is beneficial for runners who may require a bit more support, helping to maintain form as miles accumulate. The Speedboard contributes to a smooth transition from landing to toe-off, giving a noticeable 'pop' that can make longer runs feel less taxing.
One of the most practical upgrades is the redesigned outsole. Runners often face the frustration of small stones lodging in their shoe soles; the Cloudrunner 2's new pattern significantly reduces this issue, allowing for a more uninterrupted and enjoyable run on roads and light trails. Its breathable mesh upper ensures your feet remain comfortable and well-ventilated, even on warmer days, while the 100% recycled polyester construction offers an appealing choice for environmentally conscious athletes without compromising performance. This shoe excels as a workhorse trainer, providing consistent comfort and reliable support for a wide range of running activities.
Lacing: Ensure proper lacing for a secure yet comfortable fit. Start from the bottom eyelets, pulling snugly but not too tightly, and tie off with a secure knot. Avoid excessive tightness which can restrict blood flow or cause pressure points.
Initial Fit: Try the shoes on with your preferred running socks. There should be about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The midfoot should feel secure, and your heel should not slip excessively.
Break-in: While the Cloudrunner 2 offers immediate comfort, it's advisable to wear them for shorter walks or light runs before embarking on long distances to allow the shoe to adapt to your foot and vice versa.
Runner Type: Ideal for neutral to mild pronators seeking a highly cushioned and stable daily trainer.
Terrain: Best suited for road running, paved paths, and light, non-technical trails due to its outsole design.
Gender: Designed as a unisex shoe, suitable for adult male and female runners.
Activity: Excellent for daily training runs, long-distance efforts, recovery runs, and walking where cushioning is desired.
Cleaning: Gently remove loose dirt with a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush). For deeper cleaning, mix a small amount of mild soap with cool water. Dampen a cloth or sponge with the solution and gently wipe down the upper and midsole. Do not submerge the shoes in water.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage materials. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing.
