On Cloudsurfer Trail 2 Waterproof Women's review: what runners say
Fit
True-to-size, medium structure. New wider webbing makes the shoe more accommodating for high-volume feet without penalizing those with standard feet. Wide-footed runners should consider sizing up half a size.
Feel
CloudTec Phase cushioning with Helion superfoam that is firmer than v1: smooth heel-to-toe transition, more stable feel, and less wobbly on uneven ground. Rearfoot strikers may still notice instability on broken terrain.
Durability
Missiongrip outsole with chevron pattern; TPU toe bumper. Expected life of 300-400 km per sources, with construction designed for mixed trails and paths with rocks and gravel.
Best for
Road-to-trail shoe: parks, packed dirt, gravel, forest trails. Not suitable for technical alpine terrain, deep mud, or aggressive off-camber. Indicated for runners alternating between asphalt and light trails, including gravel ultras.
Weak points
Mesh is less breathable than v1: runs hot in summer. The area where the tongue meets the upper is stiff during initial outings for forefoot strikers.
