The Cloudsurfer Max is On's max-cushion daily, and by the brand's own tech sheet it is built on the legacy of the Cloudeclipse — the shoe it effectively replaces in the range. A double layer of CloudTec Phase computes the roll-through while soft Helion foam does the absorbing, with no plate anywhere.
It suits you for high-mileage comfort at easy paces: the most cushioned member of the Surfer family, aimed at the runs where smoothness is the entire brief.
It is not quick and does not pretend — the Cloudmonster line is where On puts its energetic shoes. If you own and like a Cloudeclipse, this is its successor in spirit; there is no Cloudeclipse 2 coming.
