Running shoes On CLOUDVISTA 2

The On Cloudvista 2 is a road-to-trail running shoe designed for light trails and non-technical terrain. Built for runners who want a versatile shoe that handles both roads and easy trails, it's best suited for shorter to mid-distance runs on hardpacked dirt, gravel, and paved surfaces.

The Cloudvista 2 features a midsole built with Helion foam and CloudTec pods, delivering a firm and responsive ride rather than plush cushioning. The two-prong Speedboard adds snap and propulsion, creating a lively feel that works across different paces. The firmness is more noticeable in the forefoot, while the heel offers slightly more give thanks to the CloudTec pod design. This setup favors efficiency and energy return over soft landings, making the On Cloudvista 2 well-suited for tempo efforts and faster training on mixed surfaces.

The engineered mesh upper strikes a balance between breathability and durability, with a tight weave that resists abrasion and keeps debris out. A full gusseted tongue maintains a secure fit and prevents trail grit from entering, though the tongue material itself is thin with minimal padding. The fit runs true to size with a medium width, offering a roomy toebox that allows natural toe spread. Midfoot support is solid, and the collar and heel provide a comfortable, secure feel without excessive bulk.

The MissionGrip rubber outsole on the On Cloudvista 2 features lugs around 3mm deep, providing reliable traction on hardpacked dirt, gravel, and pavement. The rubber compound grips well on technical descents and firm surfaces, but the shorter lugs struggle in mud, loose dirt, and slippery conditions. This is a shoe optimized for forward propulsion on controlled terrain rather than aggressive trail features.
