On Cloudmonster
The On Cloudmonster delivers maximum cushioning and a bold, high-stack design, making it ideal for runners who want a lively, springy feel underfoot. It features oversized CloudTec® pods and a pronounced rocker-shaped sole that encourages forward momentum with each stride. Despite its large midsole, the shoe remains relatively lightweight, offering a responsive and energetic ride. Designed primarily for neutral runners, it works well for daily training, long-distance runs, and steady-paced efforts. However, some runners may find its rocker geometry less suitable for very slow recovery runs.
On Cloudstratus 3
The Cloudstratus 3 features a dual-layer CloudTec® cushioning system that provides an excellent balance of softness and responsiveness. The addition of a Speedboard® plate offers enhanced energy return, making it a great option for runners who want a shoe that can handle both daily miles and faster tempo sessions. Compared to the Cloudmonster, the Cloudstratus 3 feels slightly firmer and more stable, providing a smooth and efficient transition. It’s a versatile trainer for those who want cushioning without sacrificing performance or agility.
On Cloudsurfer
The Cloudsurfer emphasizes smoothness and fluid motion thanks to its CloudTec® Phase midsole technology. This design allows the pods to collapse sequentially for a softer, more natural heel-to-toe transition. Without a traditional Speedboard®, it feels more flexible and cushioned than other On models, offering a plush ride that suits easy runs, recovery sessions, or casual wear. It’s lighter and less aggressive than the Cloudmonster, making it an excellent choice for runners who prioritize comfort and a gentle rolling sensation over maximum bounce.
