On Cloudsurfer Trail 2

On Cloudsurfer Trail 2 review: what runners say

Fit

Precise, disappearing fit without being restrictive. Good volume in the toe box, reliable heel hold. True to size recommended; wide-footed runners should consider a half size up.

Feel

Soft, smooth ride thanks to the pronounced rocker and CloudTec Phase, with a natural heel-to-toe transition. The Helion foam is not particularly responsive: the shoe rewards easy paces and flattens out at faster efforts.

Durability

The MissionGrip outsole shows strong resistance on asphalt and packed trails. No precise mileage data emerges from Trail sources; Helion foam in the road version tends to compress after 100 km.

Best for

Road-to-light-trail shoe: hard-packed trails, gravel, asphalt. Ideal for easy and long runs at a slow-to-moderate pace. Not suited for technical, muddy, or steep terrain.

Weak points

MissionGrip traction gives way on wet surfaces and technical descents: some runners report slipping at toe-off. Insufficient forefoot protection on sharp rock. Characteristic squeak in wet conditions, a known issue on the road platform.
