Our take on the Cloudboom Strike LS

The Cloudboom Strike LS is On's ultralight marathon racer, built around a lace-free LightSpray upper that weighs about 30g and a dual-layer Helion HF foam midsole over a spoon-shaped carbon Speedboard. At roughly 170g with a 39.5mm heel stack and 4mm drop, it sits among the lightest carbon-plated racers and is aimed at athletes chasing fast times over half marathon to marathon. The seamless sprayed upper is the headline: no laces, a second-skin fit, and a lower-emission build. Rivals like the Nike Alphafly and Adidas Adios Pro offer more conventional lacing and, in the Alphafly's case, a higher-stack, bouncier ride; the On trades some adjustability and everyday comfort for minimal weight and a firm, propulsive feel. Reviewers praise the weight and turnover but note the snug, non-adjustable fit and the price of a race-day-only shoe.

What reviewers say

Runners who race in the Cloudboom Strike LS praise its low weight and the springy, rolling turnover from the plate and foam. The lace-free upper draws divided opinion: some love the locked-in second-skin feel, others find it tight and hard to adjust. Most agree it is a fast race-day tool rather than an everyday trainer.

What people mention
  • WeightPraisedRunners say it disappears on foot and feels among the lightest racers they have worn.
  • Upper fitMixedThe lace-free LightSpray upper feels locked-in to some and too tight or hard to adjust for others.
  • RidePraisedThe carbon plate and dual foam give a firm, rolling turnover that rewards fast paces.
  • Comfort at slow paceCriticisedSeveral find it harsh and unforgiving when running easy or standing around.
  • DurabilityMixedOwners treat it as a race-day shoe and question how long the thin upper and outsole last.

About the Cloudboom Strike LS

The On Cloudboom Strike LS is a unisex, carbon-plated racing shoe. It has a seamless LightSpray upper made from a single filament. The upper uses just 30g of material and has no laces.

The midsole has two layers of Helion HF hyper foam, which is over 40% bio-based. A spoon-shaped carbon Speedboard sits in the midsole for energy transfer and propulsion. The shoe has no sockliner, which allows more foam and less weight. The rubber outsole has increased ground contact zones for traction.

It is made for marathons, half-marathons and high-intensity racing.

Questions and answers

Is the Cloudboom Strike LS worth it for a marathon?
If you race for time and want a very light carbon-plated shoe, yes. It is built for pace, not for daily training, so most runners keep it for race day and key sessions.
How does it compare with the Nike Alphafly or Adidas Adios Pro?
The On is lighter and has a lower, firmer ride with no laces. The Alphafly offers a higher-stack, bouncier feel with adjustable lacing, and the Adios Pro sits between them with a more conventional fit.
Does the lace-free upper fit wide feet?
The LightSpray upper is a close, second-skin fit with no laces to loosen. Runners with wide feet often need to size up or may find it too snug.
What is the drop and stack height?
It has a 4mm heel-to-toe offset with a 39.5mm heel and 35.5mm forefoot stack, which is near the World Athletics limit for road racing.
Can I use it for everyday training?
It is a race-day shoe. The firm foam, aggressive plate and thin upper suit fast running, and the outsole and upper are not built for high daily mileage.
What is in the box?
One pair of Cloudboom Strike LS shoes. There are no laces to include because the upper is lace-free.
Where is the Cloudboom Strike LS cheapest?
At RunAsYouAre, for $213.00, as of our latest check.
