FEATURES: THE ON CLOUDFLOW

What's the Cloudflow About?

The On Cloudflow is a signature shoe from the On team; a performance-oriented experience worn by the likes of champion triathletes Tim Don and Javier Gomez. The Cloudflow is a shoe for marathon runners and those with a need for speed. But even if you're not a marathon guru, this shoe on target for any runner with a 5, 10, or half-marathon PR in their sights.

Clouds to Happiness

The On Cloudflow features eighteen 'clouds' or lugs on the outsole - a proprietary feature from On. These eighteen 'clouds' independently cushion and propel each step so when your foot touches the ground each lug is positioned in the right place. The Cloudflow is not a highly cushioned shoe, but it's not a minimalist shoe either. And that's okay, as it's designed for speed, tempo and racing. There is a patented 'Speedboard' - a flex rocker in the On Cloudflow that encourages the natural rolling of the foot so it 'flows'.

What's new with the On Cloudflow?

A new range of colors have arrived for the season straight from the designer's paintbox. Add to that some on-trend apparel to complement your shoes and you'll be ready to lay down some base training worthy of the next season ahead.

WHAT THE JACKRABBITS SAY

EMILY: MARKETING GURU RUNNING 10 MILES PER WEEK

Lowdown: No more knee pain...

'I love, love my On Cloudflows! I’m a pretty casual (neutral) runner averaging less than 10 miles per week, but these shoes actually MAKE me want to run more miles more often. They’re super lightweight and fit my foot perfectly, which is a rarity for someone with narrow heels, high arches, high instep and wider than average toe box.

The Cloudflows feel great from the first time I put them on without even having to break them in. The best part about these shoes is the cushioning and responsiveness with landing and takeoff, especially when running on city streets and other paved road terrain.

I usually have some level of knee pain after running more than a few miles, but that’s not the case with my Cloudflows! I just cannot say enough great things about this shoe. '
