The Nike Structure 26 and On Cloudrunner 2 are stability trainers that target slightly different but overlapping areas of the foot. The primary stability features in the Cloudrunner 2 are focused on the heel, including a stiff heel clip, and mild sidewalls in the rearfoot. The Structure 26 also has a (more pronounced) lateral sidewall close to the heel, but the support on the medial side extends further into the midfoot than the Cloudrunner 2. The Cloudrunner 2 is somewhat lighter and better cushioned, but has much worse energy return than the Structure 26.
We buy and test running shoes with a very data-oriented approach. While we're just getting started, our methodology already has dozens of tests to help you make the right purchasing decision for your needs. Not only do we use high-end equipment to gather objective data, but we also order multiple sizes of the same shoes for team members to be able to log in miles. This real-world testing is done at various paces and conditions, and with different types of workouts, to cover all the bases. This allows us to verify our results and ensure they align with what you might feel with a specific pair.
