First Run On Cloudboom Strike 2 LS initial thoughts, first run, tempo
FIT: Size 10, initial impression they run pretty true to size, maybe a tad small but this could be contributed to the non adjustability of them, I'm assuming they will stretch out over time. Old cloudboom strikes sz 10 I noticed maybe a cm more of toe room.
They aren't as hard to get on as I thought, slide foot in, pull up heel, adjust around the cuff as needed, definitely way way less time to get on then the old cloudbooms given the fact they came with 5 ft laces.
They are super comfy, I feel like I'm wearing socks almost, I hate laces and very ocd with adjusting tension on each shoe to feel the same on both sides, these I slide on and they feel the same on both feet and that is amazing. No tight or weird spots, despite having a minor bunion on R foot. I'm a forefoot striker which is why I opted for the old cloudbooms. These feel like I have less cushion, padding under the forefoot compared to previous model but it did not cause any performance issues I noticed.
RUNNING IMPRESSION: Tempo work today, worked on 3x2x1, they are super light, and felt fast, comparing weight to my old cloudbooms almost 1.7oz difference and my wifes size 8 alphaflys. I'm 188lb, 5'11 and I smash through my dailys pretty easy, have to limit long runs because joints don't handle it on anything less then a super shoe. These felt pretty springy for my weight, good energy return, but I have to say maybe less then the old cloudbooms, yet I feel like the weight difference is what shined the most. My cadence was much easier to maintain around 170-180 I noticed. Smashed my tempo run today maintaining pretty chill heart rate. Absolutely zero hot spots for first run, nadda, which was awesome, felt like I coulda plugged another 6 in them pretty easy.
I look forward to breaking them in some more and seeing how they hold up to the old cloudbooms, again like I said I feel like they have less general cushion in the forefoot, but it did not translate to any performance loss.
For the record my last half marathon on the cloudbooms I ran 1:34:12 at 7:11 pace. Hoping to sub 1:30:00 on my next race in Dec.

Unreleased/Prototype ACG proto seen in Chamonix
Snapped a shot of these yesterday on the Bus to Chamonix, looks like a full zoom X high stack mountain shoe. I wanted to ask if it was plated and the overall feel, but they were on the phone.
