Comfortable

Anonymous runner · Jan 24, 2020

4/5

Overall

This is a good shoe for a regular runner, very comfortable and durable. Only drawback are the shoestrings, which like most, are too long and annoying to have to double up. Sometimes they come undone because they are round.

Above Average Running Shoe

Anonymous runner · Jul 25, 2019

5/5

Overall

I have been running / training for New York Marathon in the The Cloudswift from ON. Overall, the shoe has responded well especially during long runs. It is light weight and responsive. The only negative is small rocks or twigs sometimes get stuck underneath forcing a stop to remove the debris.

Perfect combination

Anonymous runner · Jul 17, 2019

4/5

Overall

I personally really like these shoes. They provide me with enough cushioning, while still being very reactive and not being weighty or "slow"- the ideal combination I look for in a shoe, since I use the same shoes for long runs and interval trainings alike.
