Expert Review Sources

  • Running Lab : 88.3 / 100 — « Designed for road runners seeking a dependable daily trainer option, the On Cloudstratus 3 strikes a convincing balance between impact protection and lively turnover (296 g, a 9.1 mm drop). Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for daily trainer training. »

Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for daily trainer training. »
  • RunRepeat : 86.6 / 100 — « This third edition of the Cloudstratus by On is a daily trainer that takes comfort seriously! Our test runs were a pleasure over all distances thanks to its high quality and generously padded upper, the roomy toebox, and the responsive yet protective cushioning. It also looks great to boot! All this doesn’t come cheap, however, with its $180 price tag putting the Cloudstratus 3 at the more premium end of the daily trainer spectrum. »
