In this video, I compare two very different trail shoes from On Running, the Cloudultra and the Cloudventure V3.
The Cloudultra is a versatile shoe that makes a great door to trail option. Very comfortable on the road but still has enough of a trail outsole to get the job done off-road. The only trade off with having such a versatile trail shoe is that it doesn't perform the best in bad trail conditions such as snow and mud. Also, make sure you size up a half size as these fit short!
The Cloudventure is certainly for more hardcore trail runners than the Cloudultra. A much more aggressive outsole digs into the trails much better and makes it a better option for those trails that have a lot mud/snow/rain. The trade off with this shoe is that some may find the ride a bit harsh on pavement, although I imagine not many people wearing this shoe will be taking it on pavement. Also, the Cloudventure comes in a waterproof option for a slight price increase.

Thank you for this comparison review. This is what I needed. I mostly hike fast and run some. Lots of rocky trails, so you helped me decide on the Cloudventure.

[@phillipwright5268]

I have both and definitely agree I love the Cloudultra for 90% of my runs probably the best runners ive ever owned, however in wet muddy conditions I'd always go for my cloudventures.

[@Chloe-hv7xi]

I ordered both models because I could not decide which one would fit my feet best. Since I only run on trails and love running in the rain in WA, I figure I’ll probably keep the cloudventure waterproof! Good to know about the pavement/trail characteristics.

The cloud venture is my go to trail shoe for all my trail miles!Great grip on wet rocks or wet wood and best of all no rocks stuck in the bottom

[@RunningWithDusty]

The grip is great!

[@snowwalker9999]

Great review. Have you tried and tested Cloudflyer waterproof?

[@emso8964]

I still dont know which to go for. A lot of my runs go through fields and contain some hard conpact trails when its dry (clay mud round here). I currently wear salomon speedcross but since moving to this harder area I'm getting terrible shin splints. I guess the cloud ventures still have a lot of cushioning compared to the speedcross and they'll be better on wet grassy hills over the cloudultras right? Any other brands you can recommend for mostly trail but with a little road and some hard gravel tracks involved too?

[@Mike-Ham]

Tibialis toe raises will help eliminate your shin splints

[@noiaa262]

I’m planning to buy Loewe x cloudventure (collaboration between loewe & on cloud) would you recommend it for walkings ?

[@RunningWithDusty]

Yup, that should make a solid walking shoe

[@shinguts4838]

Bonjour superbe vidéo j’aurais une question à vous poser ?
Actuellement je cours en Asics trabuco 9 et je pèse 95 kilos je voulais savoir si l’amorti est meilleur que les Trabuco ? Je vous remercie par avance pour votre réponse.

[@Wojaks_Slamders6161]

I think that the cloud ultra has more cushioning but the cloudventure I don’t know

[@schilhartrobin]

[in the order of cushioning max=>min] Trabuco Max > Cloudultra = Trabuco 9 > Cloudventure v2 (350km+), very firm stable shoe, perfect for rocky hills and crazy terrain. I have 102kg, run terrain half-marathons and tried all for hours, although only On Clouds outside. All Asics are much narower than all ON Clouds. For my weight I find firmer shoes better, max cushioning shoes (Nike Zomm Fly 4 for asphalt, Trabuco Max) just feels too squishy=not stable=tiring, but cloudultra is just fine for me.

[@andresr5847]

which if I also want to hike?

[@RunningWithDusty]

Definitely the Cloudventure if you want to hike as well!

[@schilhartrobin]

For sure Cloudventure, Cloudultra is unnecessarily soft for that.

[@mmmmkkk]

I've bought Cloudultras, based on relatively good reviews and being happy with my Cloudventuras for easy trails, but this shoe is a DISAPPOINTMENT. The comfort is good, but after only several runs the sole looks it's been used for a season. I've contacted ON, who told me it's perfectly normal for this shoes to happen....
So they are not meant for long runs, as the sole will disappear at 100k mark. But they are also not good for wet, steep or rocky terrain. So what they are actually for?
Don't get tricked by the reviews, scroll down to the bad ones, and you'll see how many people actually complain on durability. ON replies to all of them that they are going to address it as a warranty claim, but well all you get is - sorry, that's normal wear, we can't do anything about it. And some comments, like mine, don't even get published :(

[@RunningWithDusty]

Sorry to hear you've had this experience. Mine have over 300k and are still great

[@kocot.]

@@RunningWithDusty Also back and front of the sole? With only 2-3mm of soft rubber it's almost hard to believe that it doesn't go away. The middle of course holds better.
