On - Cloudrunner

I had On Cloudrunner 2022 for a while, as it is quite roomy and also looks good for a long-haul flight, but really heavy when it comes to running, as it does not provide any sort of bounce, but also does not feel firm at the same time. So after a year of on-and-off running, I decided to splash on Superblast 2, as it is the only shoe at that can cater to my splayfeet problem. At first, it was so slappy and too firm, even with my heavier weight for my height (178cm, 85kg), but slowly turns into my favourite shoe for running. After maybe 30km (4th run with the shoe), the bounce is there and really noticeable. I also have completed some long runs as well, which I have never done before (I usually only run 10km at max) and I feel fine thereafter. If you are confused of the sheer amount of the shoes release nowadays, I’m with you as well. I usually watch some reviews with beginners in mind such as Aubrey from “Bigger Than Running”, so that I limit myself before going too deep into the rabbit hole of running shoes. To limit yourself further, make sure to have a specific budget for a running shoe, so you can narrow your choices.

For more “regular” thickness I like On Cloudrunner or Saucony Tempus

Hi! Im a 23 year old woman who has been running consistently for around 5/6 years. Ive run a few marathons and a few ultras as well as a ton of half marathons, 5ks, 10ks, short trail races, etc. When it comes to shoes I am not picky, ive had good luck with tons of different shoes. Im just wondering if there are any brands/models that are know for lasting longer. Im a broke med student and I feel like so many of my shoes get worn out very quickly, granted I live in a very snowy wet area and run through the winter. For reference im a slow runner (my marathon PR is barely sub 4, I run like a 1:49 half, and around a 22:30 5k). I am not injury prone, the only running injury ive had was some minor IT band pain one time when I accidentally wore a pair of shoes for 800+ miles. I have very high arches but they havent caused issues and I dont usually wear stability shoes. Shoes ive worn and liked: Brooks glycerin Hoka arahi (a few years ago, i dont like the current model) Hoka mach 5/6/and X Saucony kinvara Brooks ghost Brooks cascadia (my current trail shoes) Saucony ride Saucony glide On cloud runners (these were like 6 years ago though) Hoka speedgoat Tbh ive had great luck with all of these. Ive never really had blisters except for one time on a 20 miler in a downpour and one blister during a 50 mile trail race. Im really just trying to find a pair of shoes to try that will last longer than 400 miles. I will also add that im currently training for my 4th marathon and a 50k trail race. I do also wear my trail shoes for hiking since I cant stand hiking boots. I do have narrow feet so occasionally ive had some brands that are just too wide for me. Id really appreciate any recommendations!

I had Altra when I moved to Germany. I went to the local sports shop because I needed a new pair of shoes with all the walking I was doing. They do not sell Altras. So I tried the everyday on and omg they were heven. Then we go to a running store in a bigger city and I read all about the CloudMonsters that when I saw they had my size I asked my husband very nicely if I could have them. He said yes and happy anniversary. I was so excited. I had the Cloud Runner and those were very comfortable. I have high arches too but I have not rolled my ankles while wearing On’s.

Neither because I’ve tried both for running and they don’t work well for me. You need to go to a store and try stuff out.

On Cloud! It’s the only show that works for me. I also have a wide midfoot. Hoka’s run too narrow.

they have gotten expensive apparently... I have a few pairs of On running Cloud.. Ran a few marathons in them... Best shoes I have had

I'm currently running with On Clouds. My feet often get wet during nearly every run, so I'm now exploring waterproof Hoka shoes. I haven't tried Hoka before, but if anyone has experience with the Transport or GTX models, I’d appreciate their insights.

Which endorphin speeds are the best to buy? I just ran my first half marathon recently I run about 2:20 and I run daily in on clouds but I just feel like after running in them for a few weeks they slreasy start to feel worn. I want a good race day shoe since as I’m getting better I want to improve. I saw the 4s and 5s but for some reason they show the 4 to be more expensive. What do u recommend?

I try to buy my shoes from REI whenever possible. You can return them up to a year, even worn, if you're a member. It's well worth it to be able to actually do some runs in them before making the call. They resell the used returns in store at a discount. If I am buying from my local running store, I try to test them on a treadmill, even though I loathe treadmill running. So far, the only shoes in my collection that I don't like are the on clouds I bought online without being able to test them.
