Are you looking for your next daily trainer? The new and improved On Cloudstratus V3 has you covered no matter the mileage. From a 5K to a marathon, this super sleek and high cushion shoe gets you there comfortably. Keep reading to learn more about the On Cloudstratus V3 from a Fit Expert.
HOW DOES THE CLOUDSTRATUS V3 COMPARE WITH PAST MODELS?
“To start, the heel cup area is a little more cushioned and slightly more structured,” said Kelsey Hansen, Fit Expert and Assistant Footwear Buyer. “You have these premium updates in the lacing system, so you’re getting a better feel and fit in the upper, and the mesh is slightly more breathable, which is great to log those summer miles.”
According to Hansen, the most noticeable difference between the V2 and V3 is the updated closed-off channel that helps prevent any debris from getting stuck in the bottom of your shoe during those cross-country runs.
THE UPPER
The Cloudstratus V3 is one of On’s most breathable shoes. With its 100% recycled lining materials, the tongue and heel collar are more comfortable than before. Another noticeable difference between the V2 and V3 is the star-lacing system has been moved off of the shoe’s upper, but many runners have said they still feel secure with the lock-down wings and gusseted tongue, which prevents the shoe tongue from moving around when you run.
THE MIDSOLE
Although the V3 is slightly heavier than the Cloudstratus V2 – it’s for the right reasons. The V3 features a new closed channel which, compared to the V2, won’t pick up any rocks or debris during your cross-country runs and provides more cushioning. With the double layer of CloudTec combined with the Nylon speed board, runners are able to keep their muscles comfortable without sacrificing any speed.
THE OUTSOLE
Since the Cloudstratus V2, On has enhanced the outsole of the V3 by enlarging the traction design. This improves grip in wet or dry conditions, which makes the shoe an ideal choice for navigating a variety of terrain. Slippery trail, no problem!
