I love the On Cloudsurfer Trails. This is my 3rd pair. I am logging about 1100-1300 trail miles a year and I keep coming back. I tried the New Balance trail shoes with vibram soles and they lasted about 150 miles. Next, the Hoka trail shoes. They have Vibram as well, but different than the NB, and they lasted about 300 miles. I have put 600+ miles on each pair of Ons and I actually go back to them from the Hokas because of comfort and grip. I am sold on these and not sure I will even try another brand at this point. I am defnitely a fan of them.
This is the perfect hybrid shoe for my foot shape/walking style and I have tried a bunch. I like this shoe so much that I am on my 3rd pair. It is very stable in the heel with good lock down, the perfect balance (for me) of responsiveness and cushion, and surprisingly gribbie on multiple surfaces including wet, slippery hard pan. I can confirm that they are more durable than any trail shoe I've tried as I am easily getting 500 miles with the majority being on rocky/rooty ground. They great thing about the Cloud Surfers is they just as easily can be worn in casual settings without screaming endurance athele. I will always have a pair as long as they keep making them.
Perfect for travel that involves a lot of walking, and being waterproof gives you confidence that you can go on even when it rains.
light weight and foot feels comfortable when walking and striking the floor. have not worn them in rain or snow (or really outside of the home, hence my rating thus far), so hope the waterproofing holds up.
My new favorite shoe brand. It was the most comfortable shoe I’ve worn. The only downside is that I’ve ordered the wrong width which made it a little tight.
NOT A TRAIL RUNNER! & Not worth the money paid for them.
