On Cloudsurfer Next: Running Shoes with Fluid and Dynamic Cushioning

The On Cloudsurfer Next 3ME30024720 are running shoes designed for runners seeking fluid cushioning, natural transitions, and a dynamic feel for their daily runs. Featuring CloudTec Phase™ technology and Helion™ foam, they offer soft comfort and responsiveness for regular road training.

Technical Features

• CloudTec Phase™ System: An evolution of CloudTec technology with Cloud elements that collapse in sequence for an ultra-fluid heel-to-toe transition, reducing impact and improving efficiency.
• Helion™ Foam: On's proprietary material that combines extreme softness and responsiveness, maintaining consistent performance in any temperature (-20°C to +40°C).
• Weight 273g: Exceptional lightness for a cushioned shoe, promoting speed and reducing fatigue on long runs.
• Pronounced Rocker: Curved geometry that facilitates a propulsive toe-off and natural transition, reducing strain on calves and Achilles tendons.
• Racing-Inspired Mesh Upper: Lightweight construction inspired by racing shoes, offering optimal ventilation and a snug fit without unnecessary weight.
• Adaptive Fit: Design that conforms to various foot shapes, providing immediate comfort without a break-in period.
• Anti-Slip Outsole Elements: Strategic grip pattern for reliable traction on wet and dry asphalt, with superior durability.
• Soft yet Dynamic Feel: Perfect balance between generous cushioning and responsiveness for easy runs and moderate tempo runs.
• Stone-Marsh Colorway: Natural and versatile palette, premium On aesthetic.

Who They Are For

Ideal for amateur and intermediate runners who run 3-5 times a week, those seeking cushioning without sacrificing responsiveness, and runners with neutral pronation. Perfect for daily easy runs of 5-15km, Sunday long runs, active recovery, or anyone who wants a fluid transition without carbon plate shoes.

How to Use Them

Daily Easy Runs: CloudTec Phase™ offers a fluid transition that reduces muscle strain, while Helion™ absorbs repeated impacts, protecting joints. Perfect for a conversational pace of 5:00-6:00 min/km.

Long Runs: The low weight (273g) and generous cushioning make them ideal for long outings of 15-25km. The pronounced rocker reduces calf fatigue in the later stages.

Active Recovery: The soft cushioning and fluid transition make them perfect for recovery runs after intense workouts or races, reducing stress on fatigued muscles.

Fit: Regular On fit. If you have wide feet, consider half a size up. The mesh upper quickly adapts to the foot's shape. Lace them up well for an optimal fit.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning: Remove mud and dirt with a soft, dry brush. For stubborn stains, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid washing machines, which can damage CloudTec Phase™ and Helion™ foam. Drying: Remove the insole and allow to air dry at room temperature away from heat sources. Do not use a tumble dryer. Rotation: Alternate with a second pair of shoes to prolong their lifespan (foam needs 24-48 hours to recover its cushioning properties). Replacement: Change after 500-700km or when you notice a loss of cushioning or outsole wear.

Why Choose the On Cloudsurfer Next

On is a Swiss brand founded in 2010 by former professional athletes and engineers with the goal of revolutionizing running cushioning. CloudTec Phase™ technology represents the evolution of the original CloudTec®, with sequential collapse of Cloud elements for an even more fluid transition.

Unlike traditional running shoes with standard EVA foam, the Cloudsurfer Next use proprietary Helion™ which maintains consistent softness and responsiveness in any temperature and does not compress after hundreds of kilometers like cheaper foams.

Compared to the On Cloudrunner (stability model), the Cloudsurfer Next have lower weight (273g vs 311g), a more fluid transition with CloudTec Phase™, and a more dynamic feel, ideal for neutral pronation runners seeking speed.

Compared to the On Cloud 5 (lifestyle model), the Cloudsurfer Next have enhanced cushioning, a racing-inspired rocker, and construction optimized for intensive road running, not just casual use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are they suitable for a marathon? Yes, perfect for marathons and half marathons thanks to fluid cushioning, low weight, and lasting comfort. Many runners use them for long races.

Can I use them for interval training? Yes, the Helion™ responsiveness and lightweight design also make them suitable for tempo runs and moderate fartleks, not just easy runs.

How do they fit compared to Nike/Adidas? Similar fit to Nike (slightly narrower than Adidas). If you wear Nike size 42, take 42 for On as well.

Are they suitable for pronators? They are neutral with no stability support. For mild pronation, they might work. For severe pronation, consider On Cloudrunner.

How long do they last? 500-700km with regular use, depending on runner's weight, surface, and running technique.

Difference with Cloudsurfer 7? The Next has CloudTec Phase™ (vs standard CloudTec®), lower weight, and a more pronounced rocker for a more racing feel.
