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.
Does Xciter sell authentic On Running shoes in South Africa?

What is the difference between On Running and On Cloud?

On is the Swiss performance footwear and sportswear brand. “Cloud” is strongly associated with On’s footwear and CloudTec® technology, and many of its best-known shoe models carry the Cloud name, including Cloudmonster, Cloudrunner, Cloudsurfer and Cloud 6.
