  • Believe in the Run : 78.9 / 100 — « Designed for road runners seeking a dependable daily trainer option, the On Cloudflyer 4 balances joint protection and snappy turnover across road sessions. Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for daily trainer training. »
  • RunRepeat : 77.6 / 100 — « The On Cloudflyer 4 stirred up a range of emotions within us. On the positive side, we encounter top-notch construction at a time when this seems to be a waning quality among most brands. Furthermore, it offers us a stable and enjoyable ride. However, the flip side is its potentially steep price for beginners, who are indeed the main target group for this shoe. It's also too heavy and features an unconventional lacing system that could be frustrating for some. »
