Expert Review Sources

  • OutdoorGearLab : 76.8 / 100 — « Designed for road runners seeking a dependable daily trainer option, the On Cloudrunner 3 holds its own against top daily trainer rivals thanks to its resilient CloudTec + Helion platform. Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for daily trainer training. »
  • RunRepeat : 76.6 / 100 — « The On Cloudrunner 3 feels almost like it should be named the Cloudwalker 3, and we mean that in a good way for the right user. We found in the lab that it lacks the bounce and spark many runners expect from a modern daily trainer, but we really liked its premium-feeling upper, rock-solid stability, and all-day comfort. It works best for runners who need support, care about design, and have no real speed goals. »
  • Solereview : 74.8 / 100 — « Calibrated with a 8.1 mm drop and weighing 298 g, the On Cloudrunner 3 shows strong torsional stability and consistent impact attenuation in lab testing (298 g, a 8.1 mm drop). Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for daily trainer training. »
