    Bouncy protection thanks to Swiss engineering.

  • 75 / 100 | Running Competitor | | Level 5 expert

    Semi-firm but very “springy” and “energetic” ride. It’s not as light as some other neutral cushioned trainers and it’s a tad less flexible than most, although that’s barely noticed with the unique rolling and spongy ride served up by this shoe.

  • 75 / 100 | 220 Triathlon | | Level 3 expert

    We’re happy for our feet to remain relatively stable when knocking out a 10-miler but its tactile feel – like neoprene to the touch – certainly adds comfort.

  • 80 / 100 | CSA | Level 2 expert

    The Cloudster is appropriate for entry-level runners helping them achieve a balanced stride and comfortable lower impact foot placement.

  • The On Cloudster features an innovative midsole that delivers durable and reliable cushioning. The cushioning is firmer, providing a great protection and support for long distance runs.
  • This shoe features the 4way-stretch fabric that delivers adaptive-fit. The stretchable fabric adapts to the foot’s natural shape, allowing the foot to spread naturally and comfortably.

The On Cloudster fits large and thus, runners must purchase half size smaller than the standard running shoe. The heel and forefoot are in narrow measurements while the midsole is in low volume. This shoe comfortable accommodates runners with narrow foot shape.


This outsole of the shoe is made up of durable carbon rubber that provides durability in high wear areas. The Honeycomb pattern in the outsole delivers an impressive grip on both wet and dry surfaces.


The Cloudster uses the CloudTec midsole technology that delivers reliable cushioning for landing impact and toe-offs. This CloudTec material is also used in the well-known ON Cloud shoe and all running shoes from ON Running.

The high-grade EVA gives added cushioning while increasing the midsole’s durability. The Speedboard increases energy-return for a smooth heel-to-toe transition.


The upper of the On Cloudster features the 3D air mesh upper coverage that provides maximum breathability. It promotes efficient air flow, keeping the foot cool and dry. The 4-way stretch fabric delivers an adaptive-fit. The perforated tongue provides added comfort and breathability while the non-slip lining holds the foot securely to avoid slippage.
