The On Cloudboom Strike is a good racer which is best suited to forefoot strikers. It has a thick insole that doubles up as the midsole to provide a bouncy, cushioned ride but it doesn’t feel as fast as other super shoes due to it not having a very prominent rocker. The Cloudboom Strike has a much better ride than the Cloudboom Echo 3 with better outsole durability but it runs a half size too big and costs too much.

The Saucony Tempus 2 is a premium stability trainer. With a plush, responsive midsole and a snug, supportive upper, it offers stability and comfort for daily runs and races alike, making running enjoyable.
