Frequently Asked Questions
What is On Running CloudTec® technology?
CloudTec® is On Running's patented cushioning system — a series of hollow cloud-shaped pods on the outsole that compress on impact for a soft landing, then lock together at toe-off for a firm, explosive push-off. Unlike traditional foam cushioning, CloudTec® adapts to your stride in real time, delivering both cushioning and propulsion in a single step. It's the technology found in every On shoe.
Which On Running shoe is best for road running?
It depends on your needs. The Cloudmonster 3 is On's most cushioned road shoe — ideal for high-mileage runners who want maximum comfort. The Cloudrunner 3 offers structured stability for daily training. The Cloudsurfer Max delivers maximum cushioning with energy return for long runs. The Cloudsurfer Next is race-inspired for faster training days. If you're unsure, our team at Xciter can help you find the right fit.
Are On Running shoes good for trail running?
Yes — On makes dedicated trail shoes built for South African terrain. The Cloudultra 3 is engineered for ultra-distance trail running with Missiongrip™ multi-directional traction and Helion™ superfoam cushioning. The Cloudvista 2 Waterproof adds weather protection for wet and technical trails. The Cloudsurfer Trail 2 bridges road and trail with CloudTec Phase® cushioning and improved grip.
What is the difference between On Cloudmonster and Cloudsurfer?
The Cloudmonster is On's maximum-cushion shoe — built for runners who want the softest, most protective ride on long training days. The Cloudsurfer is more versatile and responsive, designed for everyday road running with a smoother, more energetic feel. If you prioritise plush cushioning and protection, go Cloudmonster. If you want a lighter, more dynamic ride for daily training, the Cloudsurfer is the better choice.
