Sole Mates #8 | On Cloudboom Volt vs Nike Zoom Fly 6

Edit to the episode - the Nike unfortunatley isn't 40mm or under! On Cloudboom Vault vs Nike Zoom Fly 6 | (Run Spesh: Sole Mates) Oska and Tom from Frontrunner Colombo's Run Spesh "Sole Mates" compare two new the On Cloudboom Vault and the Nike Zoom Fly 6. They discuss why staying under the 40mm stack limit matters for age-group racing, then break down specs and ride feel. The Cloudboom Vault is ~210g with a 5mm drop, Helion HF foam, and a carbon-infused composite plate that's more forgiving than full carbon, but it has a narrow base and less stability, with a roomy upper and a stronger rocker for quicker turnover. The Zoom Fly 6 is slightly heavier (~214g women's US8), wider and more stable with heel protection, ZoomX foam, a flexible plate, strong waffle traction, but a shallower, cinched upper; it's also noted as sharp value at NZ$290 versus the On at NZ$340. They recommend trying both due to fit and feel differences. 00:00 Welcome to Soulmates 00:46 Shoes on Deck 01:34 Race Legal Trainer Racers 02:33 Cloudboom Vault Breakdown 02:55 Carbon Infused Plate Explained 04:21 Fit Stability and Ride 06:48 Zoom Fly 6 Overview 08:39 Upper Fit and Value 09:53 Pricing and Comparisons 10:44 Final Picks and Wrap Up
