The On Cloudvista 2 is a trail running shoe that offers a balance of strengths and compromises, making it suitable for certain trail runners. With a firm underfoot feel, this shoe is ideal for those who prefer a stable platform during their runs on simple trails.
Lab tests indicate reduced ventilation and a pronounced rocker, which limit its effectiveness on technical routes or hot days. However, the On Cloudvista 2 excels in cooler climates, providing warmth through its premium upper while delivering a smooth ride.
This shoe's characteristics make it a notable choice for runners seeking a firm midsole and looking to tackle less technical trails.
