On Cloudrunner 3
Features
Run with confidence from start to finish in the On Cloudrunner 3.
Built for stable landings and smooth toe-offs, this supportive daily trainer features deeper CloudTec cavities and higher sidewalls that cradle your feet for a secure, confidence-inspiring ride. Whether you're just starting out or you're an experienced runner looking for reliable support, the Cloudrunner 3 gives you a stable yet responsive platform to feel energized and in control for every mile.
Details:
- Upper: The well-padded construction features a cushy tongue and heel collar that hug your feet comfortably. Suede accents on the lacing system add a touch of style, while the high-quality materials create a premium feel that works for running and everyday wear.
- Midsole: CloudTec cushioning uses deeper cavities that expand inward, allowing your feet to sit inside the shoe rather than on top of it for truly immersive support. The lightweight Helion superfoam creates a firm yet comfortable ride, while TPU heel clips provide gentle reinforcement on both sides without feeling cumbersome. The decoupled heel lets the shoe move with you naturally while maintaining that supportive platform.
- Outsole: The wide base delivers stable, steady landings that help you feel connected to the ground. The design creates smooth transitions and predictable footing that builds confidence whether you're navigating tight turns or uneven surfaces.

I use them for walking
Once I broke them in, I loved them. They are very comfortable and I love the extra cushion around the ankles.
