On Cloudsurfer 2 — A Smooth, Natural Ride for Everyday Miles

Some daily trainers feel like they’re fighting your stride instead of supporting it. The On Cloudsurfer 2 takes the opposite approach, dropping the rigid Speedboard plate found in other On models for a softer, more natural feel. CloudTec Phase cushioning and Helion superfoam still deliver a smooth, forward-rolling ride, just without the stiffness some runners find overbuilt. On designed this as the go-to shoe for the bulk of your weekly mileage.

Why This Shoe Works for Daily Training Miles

• CloudTec Phase™ cushioning system — collapsible pods engineered with Finite Element Analysis for a smooth heel-to-toe transition
• Helion™ superfoam midsole — soft, energetic landings tuned for comfort over long training blocks
• Plate-free design — no rigid Speedboard, favoring a natural, effortless ride over stiffness
• Recycled polyester mesh upper — improved breathability and durability over the original Cloudsurfer
• Thicker outsole rubber — added durability at the forefoot and heel, resisting wear over time
• Flat, reinforced lacing system — distributes pressure evenly across the foot for a secure fit
• 9.2 oz (men’s) / 7.8 oz (women’s) — lightweight enough for daily use without sacrificing cushioning
• True-to-size regular fit — comfortable for narrow-to-average feet through the midfoot and toe box

On Cloudsurfer 2 vs. Cloudmonster: Which On Shoe Fits Your Training?

Both are popular On models, but they’re built for different priorities.

If you want a lighter, more natural daily trainer, the Cloudsurfer 2 is the better fit. If you want bolder cushioning and a more propulsive ride, the Cloudmonster line delivers more underfoot.

Sizing & Fit Tips

The Cloudsurfer 2 runs true to size, with a regular fit through the midfoot and toe box. Runners with wider feet may notice slightly less toe box room than the original Cloudsurfer, due to the tighter-knit updated mesh.
