ON CLOUDSURFER After 100 Miles | Full Review

[@RoadRallyLife]

Dusty, you're the best. Info we need, no nonsense. Thank you.

[@jt.8144]

For you to go back to the Cloudsurfers when you have other shoes to review. That speaks volumes. ON did a great job with The CloudSurfers.

[@tri0xin]

Bought my cloudsurfers a couple weeks ago.. last couple shoes were the Cliftons. Very pleasantly surprised with these. If they have similar life as the Clifton's I'd probably choose them over the Hoka's which I never thought I'd say.

[@PhilipStomp]

This is good to hear as I have been using hoka Clifton for years now, and I need new shoes.

[@tri0xin]

@@PhilipStomp cool.. I was a little apprehensive but haven't been disappointed at all. Spent the last couple days in Vegas.. probably no less than 20 miles in the 2 days walking around .. zero issues.. feet and legs still feel fresh after 2 days on my feet.

[@RodRanDusted]

The Clifton 9 was my favorite as of recent. With all the hype, I pulled the trigger and got the Cloud Surfer. My new favorite shoe!

[@PhilipStomp]

@@RodRanDusted bought the Clifton 9 today and it is pretty great I used the arahi 6 before and the cloud surfer had a too big arch so my feet wouldn’t like that

[@brainkale]

Great review. You touched on this but yeah I'm worried about longevity of the cushioning at 200-300 miles, need a $160 shoe to feel great 400 miles in for me, especially when the Triumph 20 is doing exactly that for me. Definitely considering this pair

[@RunningWithDusty]

I'll do another update video when my pair bites the dust

[@sheepdog819]

Best shoe I ever bought, hands down

[@m.arshakrisnadian769]

Agree

[@runthefuture]

Great review! Glad to see the pods held up as I've heard other ons tend to flatten sooner rather than later I'm interested in getting these for work/walking. Did you size up or go tts?

[@yakiweiss546]

Nice review, looks like ON finally in the right track

[@RunningWithDusty]

Agreed!

[@nedupgw]

Hey Dusty, thank you for the review. Enjoy your videos which are always helpful and informative. Do you feel On’s sizing in general is inconsistent? Firstly, almost all their models feel like a half size smaller and I’ve generally have had to go half to a full size above what I normally wear otherwise

[@henya2409]

I have always thought On shoes were horrible. Not anymore, this one is a game changer, Cloudsurfer is absolutely fantastic, very highly recommended.

[@katrinaalison2511]

I now have 375 km in my cloudsurfers, they still feel great and the ride is still wonderful. There is definite creasing, but everything else is looking new on them... the only down side is that about 40km ago, they started squeaking! I'm not sure if it was because they got drenched once or because they are wearing down, either way, it's a bit annoying! 😆

[@RunningWithDusty]

Try changing the insoles! I've experienced that with other shoes and it's often been the insole squeaking

[@katrinaalison2511]

@@RunningWithDusty that's very helpful! Thanks, I will try that!

[@alexmartens5276]

did changing insoles help? I wanted to by them but lots of people complaining about squeaking

[@katrinaalison2511]

@@alexmartens5276 i never did end up switching. I think they just dried out because they are fine now... 520km and still holding strong!

[@RodRanDusted]

Love everything about this shoe. My only adjustment is the arch support. It seems pretty pronounced and towards the rear of the shoe. Seven miles out of the box those first 4 were heaven. My second run seemed to be better. Maybe they need a slight break in to mold my foot shape. I’m hopeful because I love everything else about this shoe!

[@usawcraig1]

Just bought a pair and they were small in the length. Anyone else experience this?

[@brewlovinrunner]

Decent shoe. When they make a 2E I’ll get a pair. The regular were a little tight.

[@i.p2088]

My problem with the Mach 5 is the low drop.. This seems much better.

[@RunningWithDusty]

Yup, double the drop in the Cloudsurfer!

[@awaken69]

how does the surfer compare to cloudgo? i find the go is already super comfy and soft, but it has a serious design flaw in the upper (had a bloody toe after the frist run).

[@NWSI11]

For me, best running shoes ever

[@LucasJohnsonVisuals]

My CloudSurfers are one of the best shoes I've ever owned. My wife and I do a 3mile walk every night and after about 3 weeks they started to squeak a little. Now they loudly squeak with every step and it can get pretty annoying. Wish there was something to help stop it cause they're seriously so freaking comfortable!

[@applesforakbar]

there's solves if you search squeak cloudsurfer on youtube - essentially you file down some of the pods with a nail file for a rougher texture

[@tidakhotmail]

Emory board or nail file to scrape the insides of the cloud pods until the surfaces get slightly rough.

[@boldrino80]

hi, actually i run with 880 nb v 12, i'm 85 kg and i run at 5 30 6 p km for 7-8 km ...i fell good with new balance but i have little pain on my heel after 4-5 km , do you suggest this shoes for my weight or something of other brand ? Thanks

[@garry9588]

Hi. Im wondering if the low stack height in the forefoot is a issue and if that height is measured right toward the toe area or at the ball of the foot. Thanks.

[@jt.8144]

NO MORE SPEEDBOARD! YESS!! Hated the Cloudstratus.

[@jt.8144]

@@Acejustforalaugh : If you got my point, then you wouldn't say it works well in the MONSTER. LMAO... because it's working for you at the end of the day.

[@jeffdover6845]

Really enjoyed it on my 1st run with it,

[@RunningWithDusty]

Good to hear!

[@bev9708]

Could I ask you Jeff how many kms you have in them now and how they’re holding up??? I’ve been looking for a longterm review cause I’m a little suspicious of the longevity of that midsole! Thanks 🙋🏻‍♀️

[@michaelforbes4069]

Love this shoe but it starts squeaking like crazy around mile 100. I'ts not just one pair I had two. Other than that it's a great shoe.

[@RunningWithDusty]

This is a common complaint about this shoe it seems

[@calebwilson1999]

This or the ON Cloudgo?

[@belisarius2999]

Are you gonna go further in it? I’d be interested to see 300 miles

[@RunningWithDusty]

Yup, I retired these shoes at just over 400 miles. They still felt great at 300 too

[@jaymanrick]

Do you think it is good for a full marathon?

[@i.p2088]

Hi again, how are you still doing with the Cloudsurfer? Is the energy return still there? Holes collapsed?

[@RunningWithDusty]

Hi! Sorry for the late reply. Shoe is still holding up. No issues at all

[@Perfumeguy]

​@Dusty Spiller Around how many kilometers have you done until now Dusty?

[@RunningWithDusty]

@@Perfumeguy 300km

[@jeremydriggs-qb1ps]

How does the Cloud Surfer compare to the Nimbus 25?

[@RunningWithDusty]

I haven't tried the new Nimbus yet. The Surfer is much lighter though. I would expect the Nimbus to be better for long slow runs and the Cloudsurfer to be better for most other things

[@poman3256]

I find that the surfer feels softer than the nimbus, it also feels lighter and with the domino effect of the the pods running in them feels effortless. I have fallen in love with the cloudsurfers so much so I'm going to do the Manchester marathon in them! Originally I was going to use the brooks glycerin 20 or the nimbus 25 as I prefer maximum cushioned shoes, however during the longer runs of my training they just started to feel too heavy, like i was carrying dead weight.

[@tylermachia5232]

@@poman3256 Thank you for this comment! Plan to return the nimbus 25 for the Cloudsurfer and this just confirmed that idea.

[@DinodogJr]

Nimbus 25 would have better durability outsole. But Surfer looks really like a light weight running shoes for speed. Nimbus is a stability shoes anyway.

[@alanramos4431]

Just ran Big Sur Marathon with Nimbus 25’s…had no problem running up high elevations…have cloudsurfer and good for easy runs…only problem to lookout for is if you have pronate problems. Surfer not as stable as Nimbus 25’s.

[@EditStudiosOfficial]

Would you recommend this shoe for daily 10k run?

[@wordsovsean8905]

I've done two 10km runs and half marathon distance so far. It's just about the most comfortable shoe I've ever run in for 10km. If you are not trying to push the pace, I can't imagine you would have too many issues with it unless you need a stability shoe. I don't personally find it unstable though. The upper is pretty much second to none too.

[@richardangelonatata9741]

Is it good for long runs? Let's say 21k?

[@RunningWithDusty]

Yes, this shoe is good for long runs

[@moyolenovo3914]

Like the review.

[@Trailcat2024]

The squeak machine! Ihope the Eclipse doesn’t do this
