Cloudeclipse

ASICS Megablast, On Cloudeclipse, Vomero Plus. These are all fantastic max cushion shoes that aren’t necessarily built for speed but offer tons of comfort.

I've been running 3x a week for 2.5 months now. I hit my goal of a sub-1 hour 10k after a month of training, and last week I clocked my fastest 5k at a 5:30/km pace. My next goal is to finish a half marathon. ​For context, before I started running, I trained for and completed a 100km+ long-distance walk. ​For my first two months of running, I was reusing the shoes from my walking days (UltraBoost 19, Cloudeclipse, Vomero 18), but I recently invested in some dedicated running shoes. ​Current Shoe Rotation: Vomero 18, Cloudeclipse, Zoom Fly 6, and Adios Pro 4. ​On my last run, I noticed that my Cloudeclipse weren't providing proper cushioning anymore, and I'm thinking about retiring them from my running sessions. ​Do you think I need to replace them, or should I just stick with the 3-shoe rotation I have left?

I like cloudsurfer max or the original cloudeclipse a lot. Super breathable upper

I wear ONs CouldMonster and Eclipse and they fit my wide barney feet. I've also had success with Salomon Ultraglide 2. I would definitely look into the drops on any shoe and make sure you find the right heel to toe drop for your stride. If you can get to a running shop they can help. My friend destroyed her achilles with Altras. I would be careful of the zero drop mania.

Novablast 3 4 5 all are phenomenal daily trainers, but lacks good grip. Getting a TR, the trail version would solve that issue. All are good choices, but if you want a cushioned easy ride that lasts a long time, On Cloudeclipse was a big surprise for me. 1st pair lasted 500 miles, and is still super plush as walking shoes. Now I'm on my 2nd pair I grabbed as they are discounted. They decided to update it as Cloudsurfer Max, which looks amazing, but feels totally different, so don't be fooled.

Maybe On Cloudeclipse? They replaced it with a new model, so they are on sale. I honestly got my first pair just because it was on sale, and was really surprised long term. It's just predictable comfy ride and I thought nothing special of it at first, but it was just better than I expected in all areas. Fit is comfy, cushion is comfy and balanced, the plastic board at the bottom provides stability, outsole lasts a very good while, foam lasts a very good while, etc. I still use my first pair as walking shoe, and it's super comfy as a walking shoe as well.

On Cloudeclipse was the most surprising shoe I've ever had. Very very plush, and very durable. Base is very square and wide so it's stable. I wore my first pair to 500 miles with no degrading at all on the upper. Outsole is still fine. Walking in them is still superbly plush. I have a second pair I got on big discount. They don't have pink, but you might be able to still find the orange salmon looking color which is very nice. On has replaced the line with Cloudsurfer Max this year, and it looks amazing. However, it is sooo much firmer than the Cloudeclipse and is a very different shoe imo, so do not get those.
