- Is the Cloudboom Max W a good marathon shoe?
- Yes. Its tall cushioning and rockered plate are built for long road races, and reviewers say it keeps legs fresher late in the marathon. It is not the lightest racer, so it suits comfort over pure speed.
- How does it compare with the On Cloudboom Echo?
- The Max has a taller, softer stack and more cushioning for long distances, while the Echo is lower and firmer for shorter, faster races. Choose the Max for marathon comfort and the Echo for a more direct ride.
- Does it fit true to size?
- It runs snug and narrow, especially in the forefoot. Runners with wide feet or who wear thicker socks often go up a half size.
- Is it good for daily training?
- It can handle long runs, but the stiff plate and high stack are tuned for racing. Most runners keep it for race day and key workouts to preserve the foam.
- What is the upper made of?
- A breathable engineered mesh with a textile lining. It drains heat well but offers little stretch, which contributes to the snug fit.
- Is it suitable for overpronators?
- No. It is a neutral racer with a high, soft stack and no medial support. Runners needing stability should look at a support shoe.

- At Ssense, for $230.00, as of our latest check.
