On Cloudflyer 5 review: what runners say

Fit

True to size, with good midfoot lockdown thanks to the padded tongue and gusset. Also available in wide for runners with a wider foot or forefoot issues.

Feel

Medium-firm cushioning: the dual-density Helion delivers stability but not plushness. Runners looking for a soft ride will find it too stiff.

Durability

Updated outsole rubber with broad coverage and improved grip in wet conditions. One runner reports tread still intact after over a year of heavy daily use.

Best for

Daily trainer for runners seeking light stability, heavier runners, and those who mix running with gym sessions. Recommended for easy paces and medium-to-long recovery distances.

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.
