The On Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof is widely regarded as a mild stability daily trainer, offering moderate cushioning and a firmer ride that excels for everyday runs and base building. Its Helion Superfoam midsole provides a consistent, comfortable feel, but lacks the high responsiveness and energy return preferred for tempo runs or racing. The waterproof upper and reinforced build make it ideal for wet conditions and winter use, but add weight, further reducing suitability for speedwork or racing. The shoe performs well for long runs up to moderate marathon training distances, especially for runners who appreciate a firmer, stable platform, but some users and experts note it can feel too firm for extended efforts or those seeking plush cushioning. It is not designed for trail running, as the outsole grip and geometry are optimized for road use, though it handles wet pavement well. The mild stability, wide fit, and consistent cushioning make it a strong choice for recovery runs and easy mileage, especially for runners needing gentle support.
- Waterproof membrane keeps feet dry in rain and slush, making it a reliable choice for wet climates and winter running
- Mild stability features—like a subtle heel clip and wide platform—offer gentle support without feeling intrusive, suitable for runners needing light guidance
- Durable construction and premium materials, including a reinforced upper and recycled content, ensure longevity and eco-conscious appeal
- Comfortable fit with plush tongue padding and a well-cushioned ankle collar, accommodating a range of foot shapes including wider feet
- Heavier than many daily trainers due to waterproofing and reinforced upper, which may be noticeable on longer or faster runs
- Premium price point is higher than average, which may deter budget-conscious runners
