On Cloud Surfer Trail

Anonymous runner · Jun 24, 2024

4/5

Overall

Actually very into this shoe. Have been running in Dynafit Ultra 100s second edition which have felt very clunky in my last few races. Was looking for something softer and more light weight. I have been loving running in the On CloudSurfer road shoes and thought id give the trail versions a try. They are soft but light. did well on a moderately techy trail run this weekend; did not slip or slide on rocks or talus at all (though did a bit on snow).
