- Is the Cloudboom Strike 2 good for a first marathon?
- It works if you are an efficient neutral runner used to carbon plates. Beginners may find the firm ride and narrow fit harsh over 26 miles.
- How does it compare with the original Cloudboom Strike?
- The second version keeps the carbon Speedboard and high stack but is lighter and uses the Helion HF foam for a bouncier ride. The fit stays snug.
- Does it fit true to size?
- Most runners say it runs narrow and slightly short. Try your usual race size first, and consider a half size up if you have wide feet.
- Can I use it for daily training?
- It is built for racing and fast workouts. The firm foam and thin outsole make it a poor choice for easy miles or high weekly volume.
- Is it stable enough for overpronators?
- No. The high, soft stack and neutral design offer little support. Runners needing stability should look at a support trainer instead.
- What drop and stack does it have?
- It has a 40 mm heel and 35 mm forefoot stack with a 5 mm drop, which suits midfoot and forefoot strikers.
