A maximalist daily trainer that excels on easy miles and recovery runs, with a smooth rocker and responsive CloudTec cushioning that softens after break-in. Best suited for neutral runners tackling high-mileage training, though some testers flag inconsistent heel lockdown and note it lacks versatility at faster paces.
One of the best On shoes in years and a strong rotation pick for daily workhorse miles, despite a price tag the reviewer thinks is about £20 too high.
Best for: Versatile daily workhorse — long runs, daily miles, even tested in 5K progressions and intervals.
Better suited to easy and slow paces than the Cloudmonster 2; more comfortable upper but less stable and less versatile across paces.
Best for: Easy paces, recovery jogs, walking — runners who want maximum cushion in a neutral setup.
On's first truly maximalist shoe lands well — extremely cushioned, light for the stack, and a great mileage shoe for neutral runners.
Best for: High-mileage easy days, long runs, recovery — for neutral runners who want maximum cushion.
A quality but niche max-cushion shoe at 9.8/12 (~82%); great cushion and outsole durability are dragged down by inconsistent heel lockdown and a high £170 price.
Best for: Long, slow easy miles in marathon training for heel strikers who want max cushion and a quiet ride.
An enjoyable max-cushion easy/recovery trainer that holds up well over 100 miles; On's experimentation with Cloud Phase and a reduced speedboard pays off.
Best for: Pampering recovery and easy days for runners who want max cushion without harshness from a full speedboard.
A pleasantly surprising max-cushion daily trainer with reactive CloudTec compression — the reviewer would buy it again at full $180 and prefers it to the Cloudsurfer through the gait cycle.
Best for: Road marathon training and high-mileage daily training for forefoot strikers who want a stable maximalist ride.
More versatile than the Cloudsurfer 2 thanks to the speedboard's added snap and the extra cushioning, making it the recommended single-pair daily trainer — but $20 pricier and slightly heavier.
Best for: One-shoe runners who want a do-it-all rocker daily trainer that can handle long runs and the occasional tempo.
A maximalist daily trainer that excels on easy miles and recovery runs, with a smooth rocker and responsive CloudTec cushioning that softens after break-in. Best suited for neutral runners tackling high-mileage training, though some testers flag inconsistent heel lockdown and note it lacks versatility at faster paces.
Reviewers note: Roomy upper and toe box — easy to lock down for normal-to-wider feet, but skinny feet may struggle to cinch it tight enough.
