On Cloudvista

The On Cloudvista's upper is constructed from over 70% recycled polyester, reflecting the brand's commitment to sustainability. This material choice results in a lightweight and breathable shoe that maintains a snug fit. The engineered mesh design, combined with a TPU mudguard, offers added protection without compromising on comfort. The upper's construction is well-regarded for its durability and ability to provide a secure lockdown, particularly in the midfoot area.

The midsole of the On Cloudvista features the brand's signature CloudTec® technology, paired with Helion™ superfoam. This combination delivers a responsive and cushioned ride, with a focus on flexibility and support. The midsole's design allows for a natural and connected feel with the trail, making it ideal for runners who prefer a more tactile running experience. The 7mm heel-to-toe drop (the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot) strikes a balance between a low-profile and traditional cushioning, catering to a wide range of runners.

Equipped with the Missiongrip™ outsole, the On Cloudvista provides reliable traction on a variety of surfaces. The outsole's multidirectional lugs (protrusions that provide grip) are designed to grip technical sections of the trail, instilling confidence in runners as they navigate different terrains. While the shoe performs well on packed dirt and gravel, it may not offer the same level of protection on highly technical or rocky trails.

The On Cloudvista generally fits true to size, but some runners have noted a snug fit in the toe box, particularly on more technical terrain. It's recommended to consider sizing up for those with wider feet or for runners who prefer a roomier fit. The shoe's design ensures a secure lockdown, which is crucial for maintaining stability on uneven trails.

Comfort in the On Cloudvista is achieved through its lightweight design and responsive cushioning. The shoe's upper and midsole work in tandem to provide a comfortable fit that adapts to the foot's natural movements. However, the level of cushioning may not be sufficient for runners seeking plush comfort on longer runs.

The On Cloudvista's cushioning is characterized by its responsiveness and connection to the trail. The Helion™ superfoam in the midsole offers a balance of softness and energy return, suitable for short to medium distances. While the cushioning is appreciated for its nimbleness, it may not provide the plushness desired by some runners for ultra-distances or very rocky terrain.

Breathability is a standout feature of the On Cloudvista, with its upper made from recycled polyester that allows for ample airflow. This keeps the feet cool and dry, even on warmer days or during more intense runs. The shoe's breathability contributes to its overall comfort and makes it a strong contender for runners in various climates.

Stability in the On Cloudvista is achieved through its secure fit and midsole design. The CloudTec® technology allows for a stable ride by adapting to the trail's contours, while the moderate heel-to-toe drop provides a balanced platform. This stability is particularly beneficial for runners with a neutral pronation pattern.

Durability is a key aspect of the On Cloudvista, with its well-constructed upper and robust outsole. The shoe has shown to withstand the demands of trail running, maintaining its integrity over multiple runs. The Missiongrip™ outsole, in particular, exhibits minimal wear, even when used on harder surfaces like blacktop.

The grip of the On Cloudvista is provided by the Missiongrip™ outsole, which features strategically placed lugs for traction on diverse terrains. While the shoe excels on packed dirt and well-groomed paths, its performance on very technical or muddy trails may be less optimal. The grip is sufficient for most trail conditions encountered by the average runner.

The On Cloudvista performs best on non-technical trails and is designed for runners who prefer a lightweight and responsive shoe. Its grip and protection may not be sufficient for very technical or rocky terrain.

Yes, the On Cloudvista can be used for road running due to its versatile outsole and smooth transition capabilities. However, it's primarily designed for trail running and may not provide the same level of performance as dedicated road shoes.

The On Cloudvista generally fits true to size, but some runners may find it snug in the toe box. It's recommended to consider sizing up if you have wider feet or prefer a roomier fit.

The On Cloudvista features Helion™ superfoam and CloudTec® technology in the midsole, providing a responsive and connected cushioning experience. It's suitable for short to medium distances but may not offer enough plushness for ultra-distances.
