On Cloudsurfer 2 W Lilac

Lilac is the softer of the women's Cloudsurfer 2 colourways, and it is an easy shoe to like. The CloudTec Phase pods give way one after another as your foot travels forward, so the ride feels continuous instead of stepping from one cushioned zone into the next. Runners tend to describe it as smooth long before they describe it as bouncy.

Use it for the ordinary miles that make up most of a training week, and for the days when your legs want to be looked after. There is enough cushioning for an hour or more on pavement, the fit is secure without clamping down, and the outsole rubber is placed where road running actually wears a shoe. Reliable rather than flashy.
