On LS Cloudboom Strike 2
On LS Cloudboom Strike 2: building consensus — a public grade is not available yet; synthesized so far from 3 reviews across 3 creators, freshest review Sep 10, 2026.
TL;DR
The On LS Cloudboom Strike 2 impresses with its innovative midsole geometry tailored for marathon performance, but the hot, laceless upper is a serious comfort concern for many runners. Consider it only if you are confident the upper won't be an issue on race day.

Best for
The On LS Cloudboom Strike 2 is a carbon-plated super shoe built for elite marathon and half-marathon race day, with a focus on running economy over the full 26.2 miles. Its ultra-lightweight LightSpray upper (~158g) and CloudTec Sphere midsole deliver a smooth, comfortable ride that shines at steady aerobic paces (approx. 6:00–6:50 min/mile) and marathon effort. Reviewers caution it lacks the explosive, bouncy forefoot snap of top-tier rivals, making it better suited for runners chasing a PB through efficiency and comfort rather than raw pop. It also works for long, fast-aerobic training runs, but it is not a first choice for short, sharp interval sessions.

What reviewers said
- Reviewers highlight the new CloudTec geometry, which is optimized to improve foam compliance and running economy over the marathon distance, and the shoe's position as On's pinnacle racing model.
- The laceless, 3D-printed upper is a notable drawback: Meta Endurance calls it "the worst" aspect of the shoe and says it is especially bad for anyone with hot feet or who sweats a lot.
