What are the most common complaints about On Cloudboom Max?
The complaints reviewers mention most: heavy (2 reviews). For example: One tester fits its 4–5 hour marathon target perfectly and had high hopes for Chicago, but after 20+ mi doubts he'll wear it again: not comfy enough for easy days, not snappy enough for tempo, too stiff and heavy for long runs. Another tester finds it overbuilt for racing, had a pinky-toe hot spot, and would buy the S/Lab Spectur.
