FAQs
What kind of runner is the Cloudrunner 2 designed for?
The Cloudrunner 2 is designed for runners seeking maximum cushioning, comfort, and support, making it ideal for daily training, long runs, and recovery runs on roads and light trails. It's suitable for various paces.
Is this shoe suitable for both men and women?
Yes, despite some initial descriptions, the ON Cloudrunner 2 is designed as a unisex trainer and is suitable for both men and women.
What is the drop (offset) of the Cloudrunner 2?
The ON Cloudrunner 2 has a 10mm offset, which refers to the height difference between the heel and forefoot cushioning.
How does the Helion Super foam improve my run?
Helion Super foam provides a softer, more luxurious feel underfoot while also delivering higher energy return. This means you experience greater comfort with each step and a more energised, responsive push-off.
Are these trainers environmentally friendly?
Yes, the Cloudrunner 2 features a significant commitment to sustainability, utilising 100% recycled polyester for the entire upper and containing 30% total recycled content.
What is the weight of a single Cloudrunner 2 trainer?
A single ON Cloudrunner 2 trainer weighs 277g (for a typical size, e.g., UK 8.5/US 9.5). It is considered super lightweight for a structured, cushioned shoe.
How do I ensure the best fit for my Cloudrunner 2 trainers?
Ensure your foot feels snug but not overly constricted. There should be about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Utilise the lacing system to secure your midfoot comfortably, especially with the upgraded plusher tongue.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel too warm during runs.
Ensure you are wearing breathable running socks made from moisture-wicking materials. The shoe's upper is breathable, but proper sock choice is crucial for optimal temperature regulation.
The cushioning feels less responsive over time.
Running shoe midsoles, even with advanced foams, can compress and lose responsiveness over mileage. Consider rotating with another pair of shoes or assessing if it's time to replace them (typically after 300-500 miles, depending on individual usage).
Small stones are still getting stuck in the outsole.
While the outsole is redesigned to minimise stone pick-up, running on very fine gravel or specific types of trails might still allow small debris to wedge. Regularly inspect the outsole and gently remove any trapped stones to maintain optimal traction and prevent discomfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & First Use
Lacing: Utilise the upgraded, plusher tongue to comfortably lace up your Cloudrunner 2 trainers. Ensure a snug fit without being too tight, allowing your foot to expand slightly during your run.
Break-In Period: While often comfortable from the first wear, allow a few short runs (2-3 miles) to fully break in the shoes and adapt to their cushioning and support.
Sock Choice: Pair with technical running socks to maximise breathability and prevent blisters, complementing the mesh upper.
Compatibility
Gender: Designed as a unisex trainer, suitable for both men and women.
Foot Type: The structured design and stability features are generally beneficial for neutral runners or those needing a moderate level of support.
Size: Available in UK sizes, including 7.5, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 (check specific variant for availability).
Running Surface: Best suited for road running and light, non-technical trails due to the grippy rubber outsole.
Care Instructions
Cleaning: To clean the breathable mesh upper and synthetic overlays, gently brush off loose dirt. Use a mild soap and cold water with a soft cloth or brush for stubborn marks. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain material integrity and prevent odour build-up.
Longevity: Rotate your running shoes if you run frequently to extend their lifespan. Monitor the outsole tread and midsole compression for signs of wear, indicating it might be time for a new pair.
