What’s it?
A product from Switzerland, the most striking difference between the On running shoes and other running shoes is the circular pods at the base of the shoes, called CloudTec™. These 13 specially-positioned CloudTec™ elements absorb up to 25% of the impact your body experiences during a run, think of it as active suspension in your shoes.
While it takes away impact from vertical landing action, the jagged edges within the CloudTec™ lock in upon impact and enhance traction for forward displacement. With a flexible midsole, the shoe fit into a category of natural running essentially suitable for all running gait.
On running shoes comes in 2 models: Cloudsurfer (290g – US 9) and Cloudrunner(330g) for high mileage and impact runners. Runners above 85kg are recommended to use the Cloudrunner.

What’s hot?
Starting your first run in the On running shoes, you will get a nice “bouncy” feeling from the unique CloudTec™ elements at the base of the shoes.
\The 13 Clouds react to your running stride and foot strike independently, activating your postural
muscles (muscles meant to support and correct your running style naturally) meaning that the shoes are great for runners of any running gait: even for overpronators and heel strikers.Nice and smooth; Running felt easier!
What’s not?
You might experience some soreness at your ankles and calf areas for the initial few runs in the On running shoes. This can be explained by the dormant postural muscles which are activated by the CloudTec™ elements, but your muscle should very quickly strengthen and adapt to this.
Runner who land on the tail end of the heel area will feel an empty spot due to the rear position of the Cloudtec. It's not exactly suitable for broad feet due to its narrower toe-box and its sizing not standard as other shoes. Oh sadly, you can’t use for trails too.

Word from our expert(s)…
Adrian (Veteran triathlete & AC Director):
“Running my long runs with different shoes, I find myself gravitate to ON. The cushioning is just unlike any others out there. I also find the shoe fantastic for bike to run. I felt lesser impact and was able to push up the run pace very quickly in a triathlon run. I have also scored my PB in the run segment of an Ironman race!”
