Plump pop
"So much pop and cushion even at really slow paces you can feel it, so much room in the massive toe box compared to others, is actually true to size where so may others need a size up."

"So much pop and cushion even at really slow paces you can feel it, so much room in the massive toe box compared to others, is actually true to size where so may others need a size up."
"Perfect long run shoe. Most energy return I find is when I sit around 5min per km pace. Perfect addition to my weekly rotation"
"Worn these for some longer efforts and they’re great, comfortable and responsive. Genuinely brought back some enjoyment to my long runs"
"All the staff at pace were super helpful and found me the perfect shoes for me."
"OK, I'll be honest and say I have only tried the Cloudboom Strike and Cloudboom Volt but neither of them felt good on my foot. Both were far too firm (for my taste) and I particularly disliked the lacing system on the Strike. However, my attention was captured by the almost universally positive Cloudmonster 3 Hyper reviews from YouTubers I generally trust. You can usually tell within the first few seconds of slipping a shoe on your foot whether it's going to be enjoyable or not. As soon as I stood up in these, they felt right. Not too firm, not too soft. The materials on the upper feel very premium, and the tongue is probably the best I've come across. Whilst it's gusseted. there is no catching your foot on the elastic as you slip the shoe on, and the shape of the tongue conforms perfectly to the top part of my foot. Of course, the real proof is running in them, and the response these give is nicely balanced between cushioned and a good bounce. There is an initial very short 'sink-in' phase (as the foam compresses underfoot) that quickly turns into a strong return that sets you off down the road smoothly and comfortably, and encourages a consistent turnover. I was pleasantly surprised to see that my easy pace was improved by 10 to 15 seconds per km for my usual effort. For me, these shoes are great for easy to moderate paced runs and I would certainly consider them for tempo work too (something I have yet to try). Did I mention that they look good too in this colour way? Nice work, ON!"
