Description The On Cloudrunner 2 brings Swiss engineering to the light stability category, packing firmer Helion foam and subtle medial support into a 295g package. Where most stable trainers pile on heavy posting and rigid platforms, On takes a minimalist approach — just enough guidance to keep mild overpronators centered without the clunky feel. The 31mm heel stack sits lower than current maximal trainers, while the signature CloudTec pods compress sequentially for what On calls “cushioned landings and explosive take-offs.” At 8mm drop with a rocker geometry, it’s built for heel strikers who want support without sacrificing turnover. �� Price — On Running Cloudrunner 2 $240.00 at Pace Athletic ✗ Out of Stock Check Stock → �� Price History Here’s the honest take: the Cloudrunner 2 nails the sweet spot between protection and ground feel that many runners miss in today’s super-stacked market. The Helion foam runs firmer than competitors’ plush compounds — think responsive road feel rather than pillowy comfort. That medial support is genuinely subtle (no plastic posting here), making this ideal for runners who need just a hint of guidance. The 295g weight beats most stability shoes by 30-50 grams. But there are real compromises: the firmer ride won’t suit everyone, the CloudTec pods collect stones like magnets on gravel paths, and at $260 RRP, you’re paying Swiss premium pricing for tech that’s evolutionary, not revolutionary. Who It’s For Mild overpronators logging 30-60km weekly who find traditional stability shoes too controlling — the subtle medial guidance here corrects without constraining Heel strikers wanting a firmer, more responsive ride than max-cushion trainers — the 31mm stack with firm Helion foam delivers ground feel Runners between 65-85kg who prefer lower stack heights — the moderate cushioning suits medium builds without feeling harsh Daily trainers seeking durability over 800km — the blown rubber outsole and firm midsole maintain structure longer than softer compounds Who Should Skip It Severe overpronators needing serious motion control — zero posting here. The ASICS Novablast 5 offers proper medial support at $199.99 Runners wanting plush, maximal cushioning — the firm Helion foam won’t coddle. The HOKA Bondi 9 brings 38mm of soft EVA Budget-conscious buyers — at $260 RRP (currently $190), it’s pricey for basic tech. The New Balance 1080v14 delivers more cushion for $169.99 Trail runners or gravel path regulars — those CloudTec pods trap every pebble. Stick to road surfaces or choose a continuous outsole design Key Specs Weight 295g (men’s UK 9) — lighter than most stability trainers but heavier than neutral equivalents Stack Height 31mm heel, 23mm forefoot — moderate by 2026 standards, suits runners who want ground connection Drop 8mm — traditional drop that works for most heel-strike patterns Midsole Helion foam — firmer compound that prioritizes responsiveness over softness Upper Engineered mesh — breathable but runs narrow through midfoot (size up if wide-footed) Price Intelligence Currently available at $190.00 from Pace Athletic — that’s 27% off the $260 RRP. This significant discount suggests either end-of-season clearance or the Cloudrunner 3 arriving soon. At $190, it moves from overpriced to competitive with other premium daily trainers. Historical pricing shows this model rarely drops below $200, making the current deal worth grabbing if the shoe suits your needs. Full-price at $260? Hard pass — too many excellent alternatives cost less.
