Versatile road-to-trail, but struggles on wet, technical downhills.

Hi op, fellow 200 pound runner here, I’ve been using a mix of my nike zegama trail 2s and on cloudsurfer trail 2s, I will say the trails near me aren’t the most technical in the world so that may be where they fall short if you decide to try them. Just know the ride on the zegamas is kind of insane
Trail. Altra has the Offroad shoes and those are really comfortable. Also the On Cloudsurfers Trail are comfy.
The on cloudsurfer trail 2 would probably be pretty good for gravel. It’s a nice road to trail shoe with really good cushioning

I think toebox volume is fine although I did size up to US 10 compared to my US 9.5 V1. I'm generally feeling better going a half size up from true to size with On.
I do like the cloudsurfer trail 2s as a road to trail shoe. I haven’t ran in the zegamas yet. Do you like them?
Currently having On Cloudsurfer Trail 2 exactly for this purpose. Handles road running, trail, even some technical terrain (used it also in the Alps in some technical descent), sheds mud a dirt quickly, so can be used as a casual shoe to the city. I was really surprised and it became quickly my travel do-it-all shoe.
