The On Cloudultra 2 is a trail running shoe that’s cushioned with all-terrain capabilities in the Cloudtec Helion superfoam midsole and MissionGrip outsole for long distances and ultrarunning; so let’s see if On has remained true to the original Cloudultra, and whether the updates are in fact improvements.
In this On Cloudultra 2 review, I’m going to shine a light on the key features that I love (and a couple that could be improved), how well they perform while trail running, how they compare with the other On running shoes right now, whether they’re worth $180

Thanks for this review!! Cloudultra 2s are one of my all-time favorite running shoes. I run a combo of this terrain and pavement.
Thanks for watching! They’re a really solid trail shoe 👍🏼😊
I collect the more specialised ON Cloud shoes and I never used the Cloudultra v1 on the heavy trails rather I interchange this the Ultra with the Monster for daily use including driving my manual truck and urban exploration and air travel. I'm conflicted between these two even for urban use. For light hikes, I've brought both in addition to the Cloudventure Waterproof and I'll have to say Cloudultra is just a better all rounder. Cant wait for Ultra v2 in more White or wish they will have a Sensa edition.
It’s their best trail running shoe right now 👌🏼
Are these shoes waterproof at all? Thanks for the amazing review!
Thank you! They’re not waterproof unfortunately..
Great review. I have version 1 and while I loved the responsive cushion once they broke in ~50k they are actually lethal on wet surfaces here in Ireland, completely unusable. Has the grip improved or are you just in the wrong place at the wrong time to test in the wet?
Hey Brian, I’m in the right place at the right time 😜 but yes unfortunately no rain here for a while in California! As soon as the rain returns ill test them in the wet! But 50% more surface area is always going to help with traction.
@@trailandkale Thanks, Alastair. If the wet grip has improved I would run all day in them, and yes, of course, you are in the right place at the right time 😁
Literally just ordered the same ones you tested....correct me if Im mistaken but are you running without socks? They are that comfortable and stable with the sewn in sock? I have not been able to find them in stock anywhere so I ordered them and a pair of stratus since I already own stratus and they are comfortable for me. Im not a runner due to health but do spend alot of time on my feet and truly believe your reviews are very well done. I appreciate your thoroughness.
Thanks so much! I am wearing socks, they’re just low tab :) you’re going to love these in the ways you mention for their support, comfort and grip! Enjoy! :)
Are the good for decent hiking shoes? I have hiking boots but need hiking shoes for hotter days. My feet a very narrow and difficult to find good all terrain shoes for me. Solomons etc tried on so many!!
Yes they are! Very good in fact! Here’s more info on them for walking: www.trailandkale.com/gear/best-on-cloud-shoes-for-walking/
Knowledgeable and insightful video, thanks! Would the cloudultra 2 be a good “general/daily use” shoe? Looking for an ultra comfortable weekend shoe that’ll handle anything from walking trips, city use, to work around the house.
I don’t see why not, I use mine for walking as well as trail running. The cloudsurfer 7 however is more cushioned and my be a better fit for your uses: www.trailandkale.com/gear/on-cloudsurfer-review/
@@trailandkale awesome, thanks so much for your quick reply. I tried on the surfer’s, but feel like I would need a little more traction when off pavement. Thanks again!!
@shwagonvids ah yes for any non pavement (trails) you’ll definitely prefer the Cloudultra 💪🏼
How responsive are these? Do they feel sluggish at all? (ON lists these as Max Cushioning) How do you think they'd behave on steep, technical uphills at fast speeds?
They’re responsive. I think I talked about their climbing ability and speed in this video. Otherwise I mention it here: www.trailandkale.com/gear/on-cloudultra-2-review/
I have the cloudultra 1's and as much as i appreciate the cushioning and feel, the outside of my pinky toe rubs to the point where i've built a callus. Really starts to hurt on long runs. hoping this one doesn't have this issue.
Give it a try, it’s a better fit for me!
Beautiful trails!! 😍
They are! 😍
@@trailandkalewhat trail is this?
looking at Cloud X 3 AD they seem to have similar built upper I wonder if you tried those on?
I haven’t tried them yet, but the Cloud X series isn’t for the trail… although I did run a 50k ultra in a pair of Cloud X a few years ago, just to see if I could lol. Are you looking for running or just everyday wear?
@@trailandkale I am actually looking for hiking and pavement walking, everything everyday shoe
@Iamandthatiam trail hiking?
@@trailandkale trail hiking as well but not that often mostly pavement/everyday shoe. And from what I understand the ultras run half a size smaller ? Everyone in my family is wearing on loud and I never even tried them on. I am mostly ecco or adidas, merrel. So wanna see if I can get a do it all on loud pair since I am away from my home base.
@Iamandthatiam On’s trail/road hybrid is the cloudsurfer trail which is highly cushioned and very dreamy to step into. Depending on Your weight you may feel like they lack stability however. The cloudultra 2 is a very durable supportive trail shoe that I also like to wear for walking on the pavement. If the trails you hike are dry and very light (not technical at all), then you could go for the Cloud X. Cloudsurfer trail review here: th-cam.com/video/-lx3tKBt4Xw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=VpOnfmra-0jpIwZb
How do they size compared to the Cloudultra 1 ? I was very surprised when buying my first pair, having to pick 1 size bigger than what I usually wear. Is it the same here ?
The sizing is consistent with the Cloudultra 1. I’m surprised you had to size up. They’re true to size for me compared to most other running shoes
@trailandkale I had to go 1.5 size up, great shoe I did 30km 6 days a week for 5 months with my first pair
Can i use On Cloudultra 2 as hiking shoe instead of running ? Is Cloudultra 2 consider waterproof?
I rate them very highly for walking! Here’s my full list based off my review results: www.trailandkale.com/gear/best-on-cloud-shoes-for-walking/
@@trailandkale I didn't notice you got website on such detailed on reviews. This is very helpful, I am like dilemma between on cloud 5 vs on cloudrunner 2 vs on cloudultra 2... I was trying to find something for travel and hiking.. and I got wide feet. I remb I tried on cloud at store before but it seems quite narrow for wide feeters. Cloudrunner 2 and cloudultra 2, I started to get interest after watching your videos. I shall find it at stores!
Yeah I think you’ll enjoy the Cloudultra 2 most, for fit and it’s better for trail hiking
The Cloudultra was hard geting into,how is the second one ?
It’s easier thanks to a wider lacing system and that knit upper
Hows the fit? Still running narrow? I'm a 13 with regular width but feet swell after long days, Ultraboosts start to feel tight..size up?
It’s not narrow, definitely wider than the first. Fits true to size, go with your usual.
@@trailandkale awesome, thank you. Keep up the great work. 👍
Thanks!
@@trailandkale Purchased, and while they are good shoes with grip, however for mixed concrete and hiking use the grip looks like it is wearing down rather quickly (50 miles of use), and the forefoot cushion blew out pretty quickly, I've subsequently damaged my forefoot and have stopped wearing these while it heals.
Are you a Brit living in America?
I am! :)
they look good but I doubt they have the durability of my adidas babies
Durability seems good so far 👍🏼
Open holes in the sole is a major fail, unless you are a collector of pebbles, mud, dirt, water or similar 🤷♂️
Sounds like you’ve never actually given On shoes a try.
