Our read

A well-cushioned everyday shoe for runners and all-day wearers who like On's distinctive bouncy CloudTec platform; the forefoot rocker and soft stack define it more than any turn of speed.

Ride

A tall CloudTec platform with a Speedboard and forefoot rocker gives a cushioned, springy ride with smooth toe-off, though it feels more comfortable than snappy.

Fit

Fits true to size with a standard secure lacing setup and a soft sockliner; the one-piece upper suits medium-width feet.

Best for

Easy daily miles, recovery runs, and long periods on your feet where soft cushioning matters more than speed.

Avoid if

You want a firm, responsive shoe for tempo work or a low, ground-feel ride.
