Find all reviews of the On Cloudventure Peak in one place with the hottest deals from +50 retailers. Check out: The On Cloudventure Peak is a great lightweight racer for summer trail runs with awesome grip on rocks and ascents. The pronounced lugs feel very stiff on hard-packed trails, and midfoot outsole leaves your foot exposed for rocks and roots.
These shoes fit like slippers in the best possible way. Your foot slides right into the stretchy, almost compression-sock-like material of the uppers.
The Cloudventure's midsole is relatively minimal to keep these guys light, and you can sense that a lot of the support and padding comes from the pronounced lugs in the heel and midfoot. You can really feel the terrain underfoot.
The heel features On’s large, hollow lugs, while the forefoot features multi-directional lugs of different shapes and sizes that provide a really nice grip on loose or technical rocky terrain.
That said, for a lightweight shoe, they offer incredible traction. Compared to other trail shoes I run in like Topo’s, I like the grip on these better.
Overall, the On Cloudventure Peak is a really solid shoe for people who spend a lot of time on trails. They’re marketed as a trail racing shoe, so I expected a lightweight shoe with good grip. I thought this might mean that they were really specialized for race day and wouldn’t excel at the day to day trail runs that make up 90% of my miles.
What I didn’t expect was that these had become a regular shoe in my daily trail run rotation. When heading out on a rockier trail with lots of elevation change, these are my go-to.
