- Is the Cloudboom Strike 2 good for daily training?
- No. It is a race-day shoe with a stiff carbon plate and firm ride. Use a cushioned trainer for easy miles and save this for workouts and races.
- How does it compare with the original Cloudboom Strike?
- The Strike 2 keeps the carbon plate and lightweight build but refines the foam and upper for a slightly smoother, more breathable ride. It remains a firm, race-focused shoe.
- What drop does it have?
- It has a 5 mm heel-to-toe drop, which suits midfoot and forefoot strikers and encourages a quicker cadence.
- Does it fit true to size?
- Most runners find it true to size, but the fit is on the narrow side. Wide-footed runners should consider sizing up or trying it on first.
- Is it waterproof?
- The mesh upper is breathable rather than waterproof. It handles light rain but will soak through in heavy conditions.
- Who is it for?
- Neutral runners with efficient form who race marathons or half marathons and want a light, plated shoe. It is not built for overpronators or beginners.
