The On Cloudsurfer Next is a stylish and versatile neutral daily trainer, offering a firmer, more responsive, and stable ride compared to its predecessor. It features CloudTec Phase with Helion foam, providing a smooth rolling sensation and a secure, accommodating fit. While praised for its durability, good traction, and competitive $150 price point, some reviewers noted it is heavier, can feel warm due to the upper, and its firm ride may not appeal to those seeking maximum plushness or super-fast responsiveness. It is best suited for easy to moderate daily runs, walking, and gym activities, particularly for runners who prefer a grounded yet technologically advanced experience over a maximalist platform.
Highlights
- Stable and responsive ride
- Secure, accommodating fit with effective lacing
- Durable outsole with reliable traction
- Compact, lower-stack platform compared to modern maximalist trainers
- Comfortable engineered upper with good ventilation
Considerations
- Firmer ride that may reduce responsiveness for faster paces
- Heavier weight compared to the previous Cloudsurfer model
- Plush tongue and potential midfoot bunching or wider toe box for some
- Stiff heel counter that may cause rubbing for some wearers
- Exposed midfoot foam that may reduce long-term outsole durability
