The On Cloudeclipse is a notable entry in the maximalist daily trainer category. This shoe is ideal for runners seeking comfort during easy or long runs, as evidenced by its protective stack height and quality build. With a significant drop of 10 mm, it provides ample cushioning, making it well-suited for heel strikers.
The dual-layer foam construction offers a firm base with a measured hardness of 30 HA, translating to a stable platform for daily training. However, while the $180 price point may limit its appeal to some, loyal On fans will appreciate its unique ride and overall build quality. Although it excels in various performance areas, it does fall short in energy return compared to some competitors.
