Is the Cloudboom Volt PAF good for a marathon?

On positions it for 10Ks to half marathons. The firm foam and stiff plate suit shorter, faster efforts better than a full marathon.

How does it differ from the standard Cloudboom?

This is the Post Archive Faction edition, with a layered technical mesh upper and its own color story. The underfoot setup is the Helion HF foam and carbon Speedboard.

Does it fit true to size?

It uses a snug race fit. Runners between sizes or with wide feet often go up half a size.

Can I use it for daily training?

It is a race-day shoe. The stiff plate and firm foam are tiring for everyday easy runs.

What is the Speedboard?

It is On's carbon-infused plate that sits between foam layers to add stiffness and forward roll.

Our take on the Cloudboom Volt PAF "Ember / Pebble"

The Cloudboom Volt PAF is On's carbon-plated road racer, made with Post Archive Faction. A Helion HF foam sandwich wraps a carbon-infused Speedboard for a firm, propulsive ride aimed at 10K to half marathon racing. The layered technical mesh upper and futuristic look set it apart from plainer racers. It is a stiff, aggressive shoe built for fast days, not easy miles.
