On Running Men's Cloudsoma

A trail running shoe built for runners who want to feel connected to the terrain underfoot rather than insulated from it. The Cloudsoma prioritizes sensory feedback, natural foot movement, and all-terrain traction for immersive trail experiences where the journey matters more than the pace.

Why We Carry It
It's the trail shoe we recommend for explorers and adventure runners who want a connected, intuitive feel on varied terrain rather than maximum cushioning that isolates them from the ground.

Highlights

• CloudTec Connect cushioning system — A new cushioning architecture designed to flex with the natural movement of your foot rather than simply absorbing impact. Delivers terrain feedback and sensory awareness that maximally cushioned trail shoes actively work against.
• Helion HF hyper foam — On's high-performance foam optimized specifically for a connected, intuitive feel rather than pure energy return. Provides comfort and stability without the sensation of running on a platform disconnected from the ground.
• Missiongrip outsole with adaptive grip — On's trail-specific rubber compound with a tread pattern that adapts grip geometry to the specific terrain underfoot for confident traction on mud, wet ground, and rocky paths without a single static lug pattern.
• Upper sock construction for precise foot hold — A close-fitting sock-style upper that wraps the foot precisely for a secure, distraction-free fit through dynamic movement on uneven terrain. Minimal bulk between your foot and the shoe.
• 6mm heel-to-toe drop at 225 grams — A moderate drop that encourages a natural stride without going fully minimal. A competitive weight for a mid-cushion all-terrain shoe with this level of outsole technology.
• All-terrain capability — Built for varied terrain from light adventure trails to full day outdoor exploration without being optimized for any single surface type.

Best for

Trail runners and outdoor explorers who prioritize a connected, intuitive feel and sensory awareness over maximum cushioning for immersive trail experiences on all-terrain routes. A strong choice for runners who want to feel the trail rather than float above it.
