I'm in fourth pair now In running shoes. And after all, I have one question: how one of the most -hyped running brands in the world is to make sneakers that This It's a shame to walk in?
They are good … until they start screaming, which is not long
This is not just a gentle chirp. It is a whole blown, high squeak starting after your first right running once there is a little heat, a little moisture, and a little f, riction. Suddenly you walk down the street sounding like a baby's bath toy. It's strong, it's rhythm, and it doesn't stop. These are not shoes you wear on a walk-date unless you are looking to get a ghost before you hit the beach. And really, what good is a sneaker If you can't even have a person up to someone?
The most frustrating part? They start well. Fresh out of the box, they feel every bit the swiss-engineered performance shoes with promises: lightweight, responsive, and funny beautiful. Cloudsurfer and Cloudeclipse seem to be the perfect fashion balance and function until they betray you in every single step.
Thinking that I just chose a dumb, I tried a second pair. Then a third. Both results. So I turned to one place where modern product complaints were proven: Tiktok. And for sure, I saw the company. Comment sections, stitch videos, reddit threads turn squeaky-on shoes are one thing. A well -known thing. A Usually thing
I even sprayed olive oil into the holes to stop the noise. Is that so bad.
Is the Cloudtec Phase ™ blame?
Theories are covered from insole friction to midsole-trapping midsoles. Some even blame your own tech on. And there it gets interesting. Because it's not some generic foam sneaker.
Cloudsurfer features Cloudtec Phase ™A midsole system developed using a computer-optimized geometry for better transfers and better absorption effect. Pair it Helion ™ SuperfoamEngineer for a cushioned, energy-returning energy. On paper, this is the next level of object. In fact? It would go down like a clown shoe.
A new version, such as an iPhone upgrade
And yet, despite all this, I didn't. Inquiring or maybe just hardness or stupid has made me better, and I bought the new Cloudsurfer 2. And here's the plot twist: they fixed it. No squeak.
Even after some solid sessions, including the fearful walk-to-gym test, something changed, whether it was a change in rubber compounds, updated outsole geometry, or better quality control. This is a great relief.
Hopefully, that filter will still get to the remaining lineup, because of still getting So many things are right. They got Roger Federer, strong maintenance credentials, an aesthetic killer, and a cult like a factor. But are shoes glistening like wet thongs on glossy floors? That is not high performance. That's a high alert.
So, thank you finally meet the noise. But if I spend more than $ 250 on the runners, they better not announce my arrival like a fuck in a yoga studio.
