How it ranks
The On Cloudboom Strike ranks among the stronger racing shoes in our data. Looks and cushioning are its strongest sub-ratings. The rating rests on 1 runner review and 1 other rated shoe in the Cloudboom Strike product line. Another 11 reviews would set the confidence on this shoe's own reviews.
Current estimate: Good
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.

BuyPros
- Light at 6.1 oz on a 43mm heel stack.
- The one reviewer so far ran long runs in it and calls the cushioning great.
Cons
- It lists at $280, above the $250 median for racing shoes, and the one reviewer so far rates appearance 3 out of 5.
- At 43mm the stack sits above the 40mm World Athletics limit, so it is not eligible for records in official road races.
