On Trail Running Shoes: Cloudultra, Cloudvista, and the Trail Lineup

On's trail range is easiest to understand by surface. Cloudvista is the lighter road-to-trail choice for park paths and gravel; Cloudsurfer Trail favors smooth, rolling terrain and a fluid ride; Cloudultra adds structure and comfort for longer off-road days; Cloudventure moves toward protection and mountain use. On shoes often feel more guided and shaped than traditional flat platforms, so test the rocker, heel hold, and outsole on an incline. Choose for the roughest repeated section of the route, not for the amount of pavement visible from the trailhead.
