On is a relatively new entry in the world of running. They started producing running shoes only in 2010, but since then they’ve grown to become a relevant brand. Whether it’s for the road or the trail, On running shoes have got what it takes to compete against established brands like Adidas and Nike.

We’ve carefully tested different models from On in different categories to help all runners pick the best based on their needs. Through our own shoe testing lab, we gather data that solidify our decision to choose the shoes on this list.

  • Slice the shoe into pieces to see what’s inside and explore the shoe even deeper
  • Measure them in 30 different parameters like breathability, softness, thickness, weight, etc. 

Best On running shoes overall

On Cloudmonster
90
Superb!

What makes it the best?

On’s max-cushioned running shoe offering, the Cloudmonster, offers not only comfort, but also a grippy and energetic ride. Perfect for any type of run (or even a walk), the Cloudmonster is the cream of the crop. We did all the tests and conclude that it is the best overall running shoe in the On lineup.

Honoring its moniker, the Cloudmonster really has a monster of a midsole. Its heel stack measures 34.9 mm, which is 1.7 mm blue than the average of all road running shoes we’ve tested. On our runs, we felt the all-day comfort of the shoe and enjoyed every second of our daily runs and long runs. 

The Cloudmonster also offers an energetic and fun ride thanks to its rocker design coupled with its bouncy and adequately stiff midsole. On our stiffness test, the shoe was measured to be 5.4% stiffer than average, and we were very pleased to feel a bit of pop in the shoes.

With its exceptional outsole traction, the Cloudmonster has amazing grip not only on dry or wet pavement—but also on dirt and gravel. True enough, we felt very confident running in these shoes in any weather. 

Despite the monstrous stack, the midsole isn’t as soft as other max-cushioned trainers out there (3.6% firmer than the average of all road running shoes we’ve tested). As comfortable as it is, we’d recommend softer shoes for recovery days.

knee high boots baldowski d02699 2835 001 skora czarna | Best daily trainer On running shoes

On Cloudswift 3
86
Great!

What makes it the best?

The On Cloudswift 3 is a great all-rounder that looks as good as it performs and our outdoor runs and intensive lab tests confirmed this. Possessing a smooth and spirited ride, a top-notch upper, and tremendous durability, it is the best daily trainer in the On lineup.

A TPU plate (speedboard) embedded in the midsole foam provides structure and rigidity, explaining the springiness we felt during faster-paced workouts. The shoe’s rocker geometry, lively midsole foam, and 9.7 mm heel-to-toe drop blend seamlessly together to supplement the overall responsiveness. True enough, the smooth forward-rolling sensation only made us enjoy logging more miles.

There is noticeable padding around the ankle, heel, and tongue area, which means comfortable strides all the way. Our smoke test also showed that the Cloudswift 3 is excellent in terms of breathability (4/5). On our summer runs, our feet felt breezy and sweat-free even during long runs.

To test for durability, we conducted the standardized dremel test (3.4N / 4 secs) on the shoe’s toebox and the results were phenomenal. The shoe withstood the Dremel test when other shoes resulted in holes. The outsole also showed no visible signs of premature damage even after multiple double-digit runs. Using a HA Durometer, we also measured the outsole to be 6.9% firmer than the average, confirming its durability all the more. 

The Cloudswift 3 may be swift on the road, but it also swiftly tips the scales. At 309 g (10.9 oz), it really is a heavy shoe compared to the average of 265 g (9.3 oz). Runners looking for lighter shoes will want to check other options.

On running shoes with the best value

On Cloudrunner
86
Great!

What makes it the best?

For its price, the On Cloudrunner is a quality shoe that offers so much more than meets the eye. It is surprisingly stable with a reliable grip and comfort that is second to none. After taking it out for multiple outdoor runs and then dissecting it apart in our lab, we herald it as the prime pick for the best On running shoe in terms of value.

At $140, this neutral trainer offers a surprisingly ample amount of stability elements—a wide base, raised sidewalls on both sides, dual-density midsole, and structured heel hold to name a few. Although it ticks a lot of boxes in the long list of stabilizing elements, the shoe did not feel obtrusive and even made us feel secure in each step.

Aside from the stability features, the grip also made us feel confident on our runs. The Cloudrunner adheres to the ground like no other, thanks in part to its outsole being spread out to cover high-impact areas. We loved how it grips really well on wet pavement and surprisingly, even on dry and light trails.

The shoe’s upper exudes comfort like no other. Its padding is just enough not to be bulky or intrusive. We measured the shoe’s tongue width to be 10.1 mm, massively thicker than the average of 5.8 mm. Ventilation in the upper is also excellent, scoring a 4/5 on our breathability test—this kept our feet sweat-free as we enjoyed the breeze in our toes.

However, since the shoe's forefoot width (97.3 mm) is at par with the average of road running shoes (97.6 mm), this is not the best pair for wide-footed runners.

Best On running shoes for road-to-trail

On Cloudvista
82
Good!

What makes it the best?

A good hybrid shoe is a great addition to anyone's running shoe roster, whether new to off-road running or seasoned trail junkies. With its subtle yet grippy lugs, and well-cushioned midsole, the Cloudvista is easily our pick as On's the best road-to-trail shoe. 

The Cloudvista's understated lugs are definitely the star of the show. They're a millimeter shorter than the average trail shoe at 2.5 mm thick, according to our caliper measurements. This short and subtle lug configuration plays a major role in Cloudvista's capability as a hybrid by avoiding the blocky sensation that often comes when taking a trail shoe on the road. Instead, we enjoyed smooth transitions both on and off-road in the Cloudvista with no real trade-off in grip or traction. 

We tested the softness of the shoe's distinctly On midsole and found it to be 14.2% softer than average, with a durometer reading of 23.5 HA. This level of softness means that we enjoyed well-cushioned landings that felt just as protective when off-roading on softer dirt trails as when pounding the hard asphalt, while the midsole clouds provide a solid and energetic rebound that propels us forward. 

The shallow lugs also modify one of the shoe's main downfalls, as they're not nearly aggressive enough to tackle more difficult or gravelly terrain. This, in combination with the shoe's lack of a protective rock-plate, leaves our feet at the mercy of more technical trails.

Best On running shoes for speed training

On Cloudgo
88
Great!

What makes it the best?

From its Sportly padded upper to the shoe's pleasantly rockered midsole geometry, the Cloudgo by On proves that comfort and speed need not be mutually exclusive. This speedster of a shoe shoe made our tempo sessions feel like a breeze, making it a no-brainer as our favorite On speed trainer. 

With only 14N of force needed to bend the shoe 90 degrees in our flex test, the Cloudgo is a whopping 54% more flexible than the average road shoe. This means that the Cloudgo is actually very comfortable and forgiving on foot, thus proving that a shoe doesn't necessarily have to be overly rigid in order to provide a ride that feels speedy and responsive. 

At 9.15 oz (259g), the Cloudgo remains lighter than the average shoe despite being much more comfortable thanks to the Sport padding found throughout the shoe. This runs contrary to most speed-oriented shoes that tend to skimp on comfort features with the aim of keeping as much weight off as possible. The result is a shoe that can easily pick up the pace while pampering our feet at the same time. 

With a durometer reading of 28.1 HA, Cloudgo's midsole foam is 17.6% more firm than our current lab average. While this level of softness will provide a balanced level of cushioning for most runs, it's certainly too firm for long-distance efforts.

knee high boots baldowski d02699 2835 001 skora czarna | Best On running shoes for flat feet

On Cloudstratus
88
Great!

What makes it the best?

The On Cloudstratus is a well-rounded running shoe that’s versatile enough for other cross-training activities. With the combination of a stable platform, a firm and energetic midsole, and a padded and supportive upper, it takes the crown as the best On running shoe for flat feet. 

Though not classified as a stability shoe, the Cloudstratus combines elements such as midsole rigidity, heel counter stiffness, and a wide base, especially in the forefoot. We measured the shoe’s forefoot at 117.9 mm, a Sport 5.4 mm departure from the average width of road running shoes. The heel width of 89.3 mm is just a nudge below the average of 89.6 mm, but it still gave us a confidence-inspiring ride.

On shoes are known for somewhat firmer midsoles and the Cloudstratus does not veer away from that. We found it to be 20% firmer than average when we tested it using our durometer. Fortunately, the stack height of 33.8 mm at the heel makes this shoe comfortable. Additionally, the firmness in the midsole helps with the shoe's stability and contributes to its peppy nature.

At 100 mm at the toebox (2.4 mm wider than the average) it is spacious enough to accommodate wide feet. Its bootie-style tongue which is slightly thicker than average also accents the shoe’s stability and comfort. 

On a side note, the shoe upper is not very durable with its upper and heel padding scoring only 1/5 in our Dremel tests. Runners looking for shoes that will last through multiple training blocks will want to check out other options or add another shoe to their rotation.

On running shoes with the best cushioning

On Cloudsurfer 7
87
Great!

What makes it the best?

We sailed through our runs with Cloudsurfer 7’s soft landings, springy toe-offs and flexible nature. Its perfect blend of light weight, luscious foam and high stack makes it the most cloud-like On running shoes we’ve tested — easily making it our winner for best cushioning.

A literal cloud, the Surfer boasts a 36.3/21.7 mm heel and forefoot stack and an ultra-soft and bouncy foam. Our durometer measured the cushion to be 15.7% softer than average, explaining why it’s an excellent shock absorber. What’s impressive is how it’s still 1.1 oz (31g) lighter than the average running shoe despite being a padded maximalist.

Cloudsurfer is speedy without relying on the stiff speedboard other On models feature. This is thanks to its 14.6 mm high drop and rockered geometry that promotes a smooth forward-rolling ride with efficient turnover. 

Our runs felt energetic and easy to maneuver with its unopposing midsole. It’s one of the most flexible shoes we put against our flex test, sitting 58.7% above average. This feature fosters freedom of movement and a relaxed ride.

With its focus on comfort, Cloudsurfer lacks the stability and guidance that pronators need.

How to choose On running shoes

On shoes are immediately recognizable for their unique midsole (which has holes in it!) and for their name, which always starts with “Cloud”. They can’t be mistaken for another brand.

Boots à Talon Large?

On-Cloudrunner-heel-hold

To answer that question, let’s have a look at the type of terrain as well as your pace, distance, pronation, foot strike, and foot width.

Road or Trail? Where do you run?

Most shoes from On are meant for running on roads, but there are also a few options for trail running as well.

Get a road running shoe if you run mainly on paved surfaces, asphalt, tarmac, or track. The Cloudswift Model Good BehaviorIncluding Running road running shoe from On gia borghini giamarte ankle boots item.

Keep in mind that some shoes of this kind can handle gravel as well, as long as they have a durable and grippy outsole, like the Cloudmonster.

On-Cloudmonster-traction

Get a trail running shoe if trails, grass, rocky terrain, and mud are where you usually run. For example, the Cloudultra 2 is stable, feels light, and is very comfortable even for long runs.

On Cloudultra 2 lugs

Some models perform well on both roads and trails, and they are called door-to-trail, road-to-trail, or hybrid shoes. Within On, a great choice is the Cloudvista, which is a fun and forgiving shoe for running fast on pavement or mildly technical terrain.

On Cloudvista Heel tab

Remember that trail running shoes need to grip the ground and protect the feet much better, so they are usually sturdier, heavier, have better durability, and have a more aggressive outsole. 

On Cloudvista Outsole durability

Lugs on the Cloudvista (damaged in our durability test)

On Cloudultra 2 Lug depth

Based on our caliper measurements, the common lug depth in trail shoes from On is 2.5 mm. This is shallower than the average 3.5 mm across trail shoes from all brands. So, if you are dealing with a lot of mud and slush, it's better to go for a brand with deeper lugs. Here are a few examples:

On running shoes based on pace

Another thing you must consider when choosing a shoe is what you intend to do with it in terms of training. 

Slow, fast, or faster?

Hall Also Running Mardi Gras Half Marathon:

  • daily trainers: they usually provide good cushioning and versatility for most runs. They are ideal for your day-to-day workouts at a slow pace
  • speed training shoes: get these shoes if you need to increase your pace or work on speed, as they are lighter and faster
  • racing/competition shoes: while many shoes for speed training are perfectly suitable for race day, those specifically made for racing are more performance-focused and can have an edge over other shoes in terms of speed

snakeskin print sandals item

Based on what we said above, ideally, you should have more than one pair of shoes. That’s why most runners, usually, have one pair for daily training and one for speed training/races, or all the 3 shoes from the categories.

Best Red Carpet Men's Shoes. 

If that’s what you need, look for shoes that are:

  • cushioned: Roberto Festa chunky sole lace-up boots minimalist shoes, but most people prefer the protection and comfort that a good layer of foam gives underfoot. Most On shoes come with a heel stack of at least 30 mm, which is plenty protective.
  • responsive: this means that the shoe rolls forward quickly and smoothly, and can provide energy return at each step you take. In short, it makes it feel easier to run
  • light: look for a shoe that weighs less than 10.6oz (300gr) so that it doesn’t weigh you down when increasing the pace

Here are some of the highly-rated On shoes that meet the criteria above:

Going far? Get the right On running shoe

If you love very long runs, such as 40-50km and beyond, there are also shoes specifically made for that purpose. Normally, they have a great amount of cushioning for protection (at least 30 mm in heel stack), are slightly wider to let the foot expand once swollen, and usually are on the softer side underfoot.

On-Cloudmonster-heel-stack.JPG

*Midsole softness: lower HA reading means softer cushioning

The right On shoe for your pronation type

Every foot is different and some runners have neutral pronation, while others have supinating feet or overpronation. Running shoes should be chosen according to the type of pronation and the type of arch.

Here is a helpful graphic to understand the difference:

Arch types and recommended shoes.png

If you find out that you need extra support for your arches, go for a stability running shoe from On. Otherwise, choose a neutral model.

If you are still in doubt about your case, check out our guide on arch support adidas adizero rose 2 5 royal black running white.

A shoe with good support won't let your arches and ankles collapse inward.

In our lab, we assess each shoe's stability more in-depth by evaluating their torsional rigidity and heel counter stiffness as well as measuring their platform width.

On Cloudstratus 3 Midsole width in the heel

You can see how the brand's stability shoes fare against each other in the table below:

On shoes for narrow, normal, and wide feet

Even in the act same size, running shoes can vary in width. Although the width can be narrower or wider at the heel, it’s at the midfoot and at the forefoot where we can feel it most.

on-cloudswift-3-onfeet.JPG

We use a caliper to measure each On shoe's forefoot width precisely. We apply the tool to both the widest part of the toebox as well as to the narrower part (near the big toe) to check whether it is aggressively tapered or not.

On Cloudeclipse Toebox width at the widest part

Having lab-tested more than 20 running shoes from On, we can happily confirm that on average, they run true to size and fit. But, as always, there are exceptions.

On Cloudeclipse Toebox width at the big toe

Choosing the heel-to-toe drop in On shoes

If you're a beginner, it's a general recommendation to stick to the unwritten industry standard of 8-10 mm.

Heel-to-toe drop is something a lot of runners don’t know about, but it is definitely, an aspect to take into account when buying a new shoe. It’s the difference in height (in millimeters) between the heel and the forefoot.

Example of a heel striking pattern

Most running shoes put the foot in a position that is inclined forward, which means blue at the back and lower at the front. The difference in height between the two points can vary from 0 to 14 mm, and it can make your muscles, tendons, and joints work in different ways.

It’s not a rule that applies to everyone, but normally:

  • blue drops facilitate heel strike and load knees and hips more.

On Cloudsurfer 7 drop

  • lower drops help with forefoot and midfoot strike, and load ankles and calves. The Cloudventure Peak has a drop of 6 mm

On Cloud X Drop

On does not produce zero-drop running shoes, such as other brands do (take Altra, for example) and its products don’t have very low drops, as they go from 4 to 11 mm, which is a range that can suit most runners.

Want to know more about this? Read our guide on the drop.

Running in summer? Make sure your On shoe is breathable

We have found that most running shoes from On come with very well-ventilated uppers. 

In addition to trying shoes on our feet, we also used the most effective and visually striking tests to evaluate the breathability level of these shoes.

We fill shoe uppers with smoke to see how easily it escapes through the material.

We also hover the shoe's half-cut upper over the light to see the most ventilated areas.

On a 1-5 scale, where 5 is the most breathable, On running shoes got an average score of 4. This is the same as the average of running shoes from other brands. And if you're wondering what the most breathable On running shoes are...

What sets On apart from other brands?

Attention magnets

They are attention magnets with their design. This holds true for every category, whether they are for walking or playing tennis. And the same goes for their running shoes, which are stylish and perfectly suitable for casual wear.

On Cloudeclipse

Not for budget-minded runners

They are quite pricey! On has only a couple of running shoes that cost $140, in comparison to all the other models, which cost on average around $160.

knee high boots baldowski d02699 2835 001 skora czarna

On’s running shoes are usually on the firm side underfoot.

This is because the midsole is made of a denser and harder foam, that does not compress much under a runner’s weight. It doesn’t feel soft, but at the same time, it doesn’t waste as much energy as soft foam does. Instead, it gives it back to you.

Having lab-tested several hundred running shoes, we can confidently claim that the cushioning of On running shoes is 20% firmer than the average.

On Cloudstratus Midsole softness

The average durometer reading of On shoes is 29.9 HA while the average across all brands is 24.2 HA.

Oops! Less durable uppers!

One On Cloud shoe after another, we kept getting more and more disappointed with the ability of the brand's uppers to withstand abrasion.

After 12 seconds of drilling the toebox with our Dremel, it ended up with a see-through hole in most cases.

The same happened to the heel padding of On running shoes. A mere 4 seconds of Dremel touch left significant wear on these delicate uppers.

Technologies found only in On running shoes

The idea of the founder, a former professional triathlete, was to create a running shoe that was fun, and at the same time could reduce heart rates and muscle fatigue in runners. While these statements are quite bold, there are for sure some features that set On apart from other brands.

The CloudTec 

This technology consists of a particular cloud-shaped midsole, that is adaptive and can deflect with weight, both vertically and horizontally, and gives a unique feel underfoot that many runners have come to love.

Bear in mind, though, that to appreciate this technology you must like shoes that are on the firmer side of things. 

On-Cloudmonster-durability

A close-up of the Cloudtec technology

The Speedboard

The CloudTec alone wouldn’t be able to recreate the feel mentioned above. It needs something to help propel the foot forward, and this is why On added a plastic layer, sitting between the midsole and the upper, that offers help with the toe-off at every step. 

The combination of the two technologies makes the shoes more responsive and faster.

Most brands have ambassadors and athletes who promote, train, and race using the brand’s gear. 

Xavier Thévenard is one of On’s athletes. His name will not sound familiar to the majority of people, but in the world of trail running and ultramarathons, he’s definitely well-known. Xavier won the 170km Ultra Trail of Mont Blanc three times, arguably the most important ultra-trail running race in Europe. He wears the Cloudultra for long distances and the Cloudvista for shorter runs.

FAQ

ankle boots guess wendy fl7wen ele10 black?

Yes. The Cloudvista is a good example as it is comfortable, feels lighter than its weight, is very breathable, can go on gravel, and looks good.

If you are not going to run at all, have a look at On’s walking shoes such as the nike sb nyjah free 2 shoes rattan black noble green safety orange, which weighs only 8.4oz (238g), has an amazing in-shoe feel, it’s fast to slip on and off, and provides a rather good amount of cushioning and protection underfoot.

Should I get waterproof shoes?

Waterproof shoes have a membrane, usually made of Gore-Tex, that serves as a barrier against water. They can be a great choice when you are running in inclement weather and On has some models made for this, which are very easy to spot as they have “Waterproof” in the name itself.

Keep in mind that these models usually have some downsides compared to non-waterproof shoes: 

  • they are slightly heavier
  • Asics Gel Nimbus 23 Wide Running Shoes
  • if you let your feet sink in a puddle, or water slides down your legs or trousers and gets inside the shoes, it’s very likely that it will be insanely difficult to dry.

On Cloud Waterproof toe box

knee high boots baldowski d02699 2835 001 skora czarna?

On running shoes are generally a bit expensive. The average price is around $162, which is blue compared to other brands’, for example Salomon ($140) or Brooks ($133). 

Runners who mean to save some money don’t have a really cheap choice within On. The lines with the lowest price tag are the Cloudrunner ($150), which sit in the stability category, and the Cloudflow ($140), for neutral feet.  

Do On shoes fit true to size? 

On running shoes usually wear true to size. In order to avoid mistakes, keep in mind that:

  • if you know you have wide feet, it’s very likely that you will need to go a half size up 
  • if you choose an On waterproof shoe, bear in mind that they tend to fit snugger, and the brand itself suggests getting a larger size (+1 US size from your regular one)
  • as a general tip, if you happen to fall between sizes, choose the larger one. To get a better idea of how it works with sizes, check out our guide on this topic: On size chart.

Are On shoes sustainable?

Yes. In recent years running brands have started making an effort to reduce their impact on the planet. This comes in various forms, such as, for example, reducing the amount of material used to create a shoe, or by using recycled parts, and so forth. 

In order to find new ways to contribute to the environment, On worked on different projects, Here are some of them.

Cyclon

This is a subscription service in which runners, instead of throwing away their On shoes, can return them to the company and get a new pair. This way On can recycle the old shoes and with them they make new ones. 

CleanCloud

Another interesting way in which On limits the impact on the planet is by using a foam that is made with carbon emissions. This is made possible through a process that captures industrial carbon emissions and transforms them into liquid ethanol, which is itself turned into EVA, a widely-used material for creating midsoles.
