Stable on the road, gravel and trail
The Cloudsoma from On are running shoes for anyone who wants to run mindfully – without the pressure to perform, but with a sense of connection. Designed as versatile road-to-trail shoes, they provide reliable support on asphalt, park paths, gravel and easy trails. Rather than aggressive propulsion, the focus is on a smooth, controlled running feel. The aim is to bring you closer to the ground and make every run feel more relaxed – regardless of distance or pace. The character of the Cloudsoma is geared towards runs that are all about movement, nature and lightness. They combine protection and feedback in such a way that you feel secure without losing contact with the ground. It is precisely this balance that makes them a strong training partner for varied surfaces.
CloudTec Connect for a noticeable ground feel
The key feature of these shoes is the CloudTec Connect cushioning, which flexibly moves with the natural motion of your foot. The Cloud elements are interconnected, providing direct feedback from the ground. This is supported by the Helion HF Hyperfoam, which comfortably absorbs shocks while adding stability to your running feel. A notable feature is the deliberate omission of a traditional insole, ensuring a more direct and natural feel for the ground. The closed Cloud construction also prevents stones from getting lodged, which is a real advantage on gravel and uneven paths. The Missiongrip outsole delivers reliable traction on a wide variety of terrain and gives you confidence with every step.
Fit, running feel and key technical specifications
The sock-like upper hugs your feet comfortably and offers a precise fit without pressure points. The fit is neutral and the weight is pleasantly low at around 225 grams. With a 6-mm drop, the shoes support a natural rolling motion and are ideal for relaxed training runs. On the run, the Cloudsoma feel smooth, stable and consistent. They thrive on control rather than dynamics and feel predictable on changing surfaces. This makes them a suitable choice for anyone who values versatility and wants to get outside – from city parks to natural trails.
