The On Cloudrunner 2 is engineered to make your runs feel effortless and protected, mile after mile. Its core strength lies in its maximal cushioning, provided by the deep stack of Helion Superfoam and CloudTec. This combination ensures exceptional impact absorption, making it perfect for long-distance training runs, recovery jogs, or for runners who simply prioritize comfort.
The structured design with a durable heel clip and upper reinforcements is a game-changer for those needing stability. It gently guides your foot through its natural motion, helping to reduce excessive pronation and maintain an efficient stride, especially as fatigue sets in. This makes it an excellent choice for daily training.
You'll notice the high energy return from the Helion Superfoam, giving a subtle propulsive feel that keeps your legs feeling fresher for longer. The newly upgraded outsole is a practical improvement, effectively preventing small stones and debris from getting lodged, allowing for distraction-free runs on various surfaces, from paved roads to light trails.
For example, imagine a long weekend run: the Cloudrunner 2 will provide the consistent comfort and support needed to push through those extra miles without discomfort. Its breathable mesh upper and plush tongue ensure a snug yet comfortable fit from the moment you lace up, adapting to your foot's shape.
Lacing: Unlace the shoes fully before putting them on.
Foot Placement: Slide your foot into the shoe, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated in the heel cup.
Lacing Technique: Start lacing from the bottom eyelets, tightening evenly to ensure a secure but not constrictive fit. Use all eyelets for optimal support. Ensure the tongue lies flat against your foot.
Fit Check: Stand up and walk around. Your toes should have enough room to wiggle, and your heel should feel locked in without slipping.
Running Type: Ideal for daily training, long runs, recovery runs, and for runners seeking high cushioning and stability.
Foot Type: Best suited for runners who may overpronate slightly or those who prefer a more structured, supportive shoe.
Surfaces: Excellent for road running, paved paths, and light, well-maintained trails. The improved outsole handles various terrains well.
Activities: While primarily a running shoe, its comfort makes it suitable for extended walking or standing.
Cleaning:
Remove excess dirt with a soft brush (an old toothbrush works well) after each run.
For deeper cleaning, mix mild soap (like dish soap) with lukewarm water.
Use a cloth or sponge dipped in the soapy water to gently wipe down the upper and outsole.
Wipe off soap residue with a clean, damp cloth.
Avoid: Machine washing or drying, as this can damage materials and adhesives. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Air dry your shoes naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, which can warp materials.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Remove insoles occasionally to air them out, which can help prevent odors.
Lifespan: Running shoes typically last 300-500 miles, depending on your running style, weight, and terrain. Monitor the outsole wear and midsole cushioning for signs of needing replacement.
