Expert Review Sources

  • Running Shoes Guru : 83.0 / 100 — « Across our daily trainer testing on road, the On Cloudrunner 2 delivers a smooth, dependable ride powered by its CloudTec + Helion midsole. Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at €160. »
  • RunMag : 82.7 / 100 — « Designed for road runners seeking a dependable daily trainer option, the On Cloudrunner 2 strikes a convincing balance between impact protection and lively turnover (275 g, a 8.5 mm drop). Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for daily trainer training. »
  • RunRepeat : 82.6 / 100 — « The Cloudrunner 2 from On marks a positive upgrade over its predecessor. We found in the lab that this mild stability shoe retains the exceptional build quality, breathability, and versatility of the first generation while introducing significant improvements like a lighter weight, increased flexibility, and a slightly-softer, bouncier Helion midsole. Despite these enhancements, the ride is still somewhat firm, and we believe the outsole requires a durability upgrade. »
