- Is the On Cloudboom Volt PAF W good for a first carbon-plated race?
- Yes, if you want a stable, roomy plate shoe. The wide fit and forefoot cushioning are more forgiving than narrow super shoes, though the ride is firm.
- How does it compare with the Nike Vaporfly?
- It is less bouncy and propulsive but wider and steadier underfoot. Choose it for fit and stability; choose the Vaporfly for maximum energy return.
- Can I use it for daily training?
- It is a race and tempo shoe. The firm plate and thin upper suit fast efforts, not easy daily miles.
- Does it fit true to size?
- It runs wide, so most runners stay with their usual size. Those with narrow feet may want to size down or lace tighter.
- Is it waterproof?
- No. It has no Gore-Tex membrane, and the mesh upper is breathable rather than water-resistant.
- What is the drop and stack?
- On does not publish a full stack figure for this model; it is a low-profile road racer with a carbon plate and forefoot cushioning.
- Where is the On Cloudboom Volt PAF W cheapest?
- At FWRD, for $280.00, as of our latest check.
