Men's Cloudmonster 3

The triple-layer CloudTec really shows on longer runs—my legs felt fresher than usual at the 10-mile mark. The forward roll feels natural rather than forced, and the cushioning is springy without being mushy.

The triple-layer cushioning gives a nice springy push on tempo runs, but the fit around the midfoot felt tight for the first few miles. Decent shoe, though I expected the forward-rolling feel to be more noticeable.

The cushioning is genuinely plush and the forward roll is there on easy miles, but the shoe feels heavier than I expected once I pick up the pace. Fine for recovery days, less so for anything fast.
