Advice for Road Runners:The On Men's Cloudboom Max Running Shoes are specifically designed to meet the needs of runners aiming to finish a marathon in around 4 hours. In short, this model is a super-shoe for the 'everyday' runner.
Underfoot Feel
On's pinnacle Helion™ HF offers lots of cushioning and maximum-energy return.
The midsole geometry is engineered to suit the running style of a non-elite runner. To explain further, the top midsole layer is a Pebax-based foam. Whereas the bottom layer is a TPEE based foam. This should translate into a bouncy, yet stable underfoot ride.
A polyamide Speedboard® - with 8% glass fibre infusion - is sandwiched between the two layers of foam. While this improves energy return, the plate construction is designed to offer a forgiving and supportive feel for heel strikers - specifically for runners who may spend 4.5 hours running in the shoes.
Overall, the On Cloudboom Max Running Shoes should feel both stable and energetic to run in.
Upper Fit
In-keeping with the midsole design, the upper is made for long-distance runs. A breathable mesh should mould to your foot shape and adjust to foot swelling as you get to the closing stages of an event.
Ideal Run Type
In contrast to many super-shoes, the On Men's Cloudboom Max Running Shoes should suit a wide range of running abilities. We recommend choosing these On super-shoes if you're seeking great energy return and support for half-marathon and marathon running.
