ON CLOUDVISTA Color: Gray/Orange Size: W7.5 New Tried on only The Cloudvista is designed with their flagship high energy return Helion Foam, which is lightweight, comfortable, and looks super fancy but probably isn’t a huge value-add for hiking. Perhaps it adds some spring to your step, but either way, we’d put this in the medium cushion level, medium comfort level. On Cloudvista has a typical 9mm drop, which is basically what you would expect from the average trail running shoes. That said, we do prefer a slightly lower drop for hiking specifically, though it’s largely personal preference. From a sustainability perspective, we love seeing white shoes because manufacturing it uses less dye and creates less waste water. But for trail runners, boy they get dirty quickly. We’ll leave color selection up to you. As hiking shoes go, the fit is small and narrow, so make sure to size up. It’s a euro thing. Of all trail running shoes on this list, Cloudvista probably has the least aggressive tread. The lugs are squares not chevrons, and well their height in mm isn’t listed, we’d guess it’s closer to 3-4mm below the bottom of the outsole. That said, less aggressive tread lasts longer and is more durable, so it’s not all downside. Needless to say, this is not the trail runner we would recommend for super gnarly terrain, mud, or snow, but it should do more than fine on 99% of trails. Verdict
