On Cloudmonster W Gobi

Gobi is a warm sand tone that suits autumn running, when the light goes flat and colours like this look better than bright ones. Underneath, the women's Cloudmonster is unchanged: a deep platform of CloudTec pods that compresses generously and keeps road mileage from feeling like a series of small impacts stacked on top of each other.

Easy running and long weekend efforts are its natural territory, on tarmac and smooth path rather than loose ground. The Speedboard gives the cushioning its shape, the heel is held without any pinching, and the broad outsole footprint provides the kind of settled landing that suits a steady, unhurried stride over distance. Autumn mileage is rarely glamorous, and this makes it comfortable.
