The max-stack version of the Cloudsurfer, stacking more CloudTec Phase foam under a rockered platform. It delivers a plush, smooth ride for long easy runs and recovery days. Heavier and more expensive than the standard Cloudsurfer without adding versatility.

Who it's for

Reach for the On Cloudsurfer Max for everyday training miles, long runs and easy recovery days. It's a neutral shoe, best for runners with an efficient stride who don't need pronation support. The tall, soft stack favors comfort over ground feel — great for high mileage and bigger runners, less so for racing snappiness.
