Cloudventure Peak

These were my first On purchase having tried the shoe at the recent Running Show. I have a 56 mile Ultra event coming up so tested them with a 24mile Mendip run straight out of the box. The shoes were very comfy and I felt very confident in them from the start. The trail took in all types of terrain you could encounter - rocks, shale, grass, tarmac, gravel and mud. The shoes dealt with most of the terrains amazingly and I was confident to put my feet where I needed and not worry. However, muddy hills where there is no gravel or small rocks to grip to these shoes couldn't cope. Technical down hills were the worst slipping and sliding where other trail shoes I have had bite in and hold you. That said I completed the run and was very happy with the shoes. I will just need to check conditions before races to determine if the shoes are suitable for the conditions.

Best trail shoes I ever had. So light and slick you feel like you don’t want to take them off. Extrem traction and perfect stability. I do hike with my 3 years old daughter in my backpack and alleyways feel total control of my steps. Little slippery on wet asphalt so maybe not a best shoe to run in the rainy conditions- but still 5 star. I love it. My wife likes the look so she got one pair for her self to:))

The first thing to say about them, apart from how comfortable they are, is that they are very, very responsive. They seem to spring and propel you forward, nothing is lost in energy terms. They are super lightweight too. Although my first run in them was short, they had plenty of different terrain to test them. They are a tiny bit slippy on wet pavement and tarmac, but no more than any other running shoes I've worn. I went along muddy footpaths that morphed into stretches that were paved in largish stones, none of which got caught in the soles, then rocky farm tracks, then very wet grass across rough fields where the going was extremely holey and uneven.
A longer run is needed to really test these shoes, but so far I think these are probably the most peppy, snappy shoes of my four pairs of Ons and could be used for fast road work just as much as trails.
And they're orange!!!
