Editors Say This On Sneaker Is Like ‘Walking On Clouds’—And It’s On Sale For Cyber Monday

The On Cloudmonster is one of the best running shoes the brand offers, but the Cloudsurfer also deserves the spotlight. This is a great daily trainer for racking up high mileage, while the Cloudmonster is better for race day. But, don’t get it twisted—these still feel pillow-soft and provide supreme propulsion. “When I want to preserve my shoes built with innovations like On’s Speedboard, the Cloudsurfer is my go-to for everyday training,” says fitness commerce editor Nicolette Accardi.

If you’re a gym rat, the On Cloudpulse is designed for cross-training workouts like lifting or HIIT. It features its innovative Speedboard found in its performance running sneakers to tackle all fast movements. Plus, the design prioritizes stability so your feet stay planted during tough lifts.

If you’re looking to hit the trails, having a pair of shoes with good tread is essential. The On Cloudhorizon has a grippy outsole to avoid slipping on dirt and sandy surfaces. It also features the brand’s iconic CloudTec, which means all-around comfort while you take in nature.

The On The Roger Advantage 2 offers more of a lifestyle look, with its flat outsole and casual vibe that makes it a great fit for pairing with jeans or skirts. It’s less cushioned than a typical walking shoe, but still provides On’s signature padding in the midsole. It also has an inner sock construction, along with extra cushioning at the forefoot to keep you feeling supported as you stride. Editors say this sneaker is great for long walks, but is sleek enough for slightly dressier occasions.

If you can’t be bothered with tying laces every day, try the On Cloudnova Form. This shoe has a wider entrance to let you slip it on and off without lacing up every time. There’s also a tongue at the back of the heel for added padding that comes in handy when you’re on your feet all day. Testing revealed it also removes the dreaded breaking-in period. This shoe also has a lower-cut silhouette for a more grounded and less bouncy feel.

You can’t go wrong with On Clouds and comfort, but the On Cloud 5 Terry is made with a cotton cloth upper and a super soft terry tongue (hence, the name) for a lived-in feel, even right out of the box. These shoes also have an exaggerated heel pull tab to help you get in and out of them fast, along with the brand’s grippy outsole made up of traction patterns and zig-zag channels to help you navigate uneven or wet terrain with ease.
