On Cloudspike XC

Regular cushioning offers a blend of lightness, comfort, and ground feel. Popular for shorter distance racing as well as training and daily mileage running, the lower stack of midsole foam offers inherent stability and a lighter feel on your foot when compared to max-stack shoes.

Neutral running shoes are designed to provide a smooth sensation without correcting your gait. They allow your natural motion to flow, while still offering a snug fit and a cushioned feel underfoot. As such, they’re ideal for runners who don’t overpronate.

Set up in Switzerland in 2010 with a mission to create the perfect running sensation, On bring an immediately recognisable concept to the market.

Their distinctive CloudTec cushioning – the series of visible “clouds” underfoot that compress both horizontally and vertically during impact – provides the holy grail of running shoes: a cushioned landing and a firm, explosive take-off.

Above the clouds sits the other key component of On’s success, the Speedboard. Flexing and unflexing as you transition from strike to take-off, the liquid-injected plate works with CloudTec to maximise energy efficiency, giving a truly unique running experience that feels great and reduces muscle fatigue.

It’s scientifically proven too: in a 2011 study, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology demonstrated that runners wearing On had significantly lower pulse rates and lower blood lactate levels. Take the plunge, you might not go back.
