On Cloudboom Volt review: what runners say

Fit

Good midfoot lockdown with a toe box sufficiently roomy for distances up to the half marathon. Generously padded collar for a race shoe.

Feel

Cushioning is present but oriented toward firmness: direct, responsive feel, less soft than other Boom models. The aggressive forefoot rocker supports smooth transitions at shorter distances.

Durability

Rubber outsole well distributed across the forefoot and heel, rated durable even on grass. Expected mileage not quantified by sources.

Best for

Race shoe and fast training for 5K, 10K, and half marathon. Also workable as a workhorse for intervals and threshold sessions. Runners who prefer a firm feel can push it to the marathon.

Weak points

Weight considered excessive for a shoe aimed at shorter distances: sub-200 g would make it more lively. Upper collar and polyester materials regarded as heavier than necessary for the target use case.
