On Cloudflyer 5 review: what runners say

Fit

True to size, padded collar and gusset for midfoot lockdown. The wide version (4 mm wider) works for runners with a wide foot or bunions.

Feel

Medium-firm cushioning, not soft. Dual-density Helion foam stabilizes the heel; runners looking for a plush ride will find it stiff.

Durability

Updated rubber outsole with higher heel coverage and improved wet-surface grip. Expected mileage not explicitly cited by sources.

Best for

Daily trainer for mid-to-heavyweight runners seeking light stability and heel support. Suited for easy runs, walking, and gym use; not designed for faster paces.

Weak points

Midsole perceived as excessively firm across multiple sources. High weight (300 g men's) flagged as a drawback for runners looking for a responsive shoe.
