On Running has created one of the most recognisable shoe soles in the world in barely fifteen years. The hollow CloudTec pods form the basis of virtually every model: they absorb impact on landing and spring back on takeoff. What started as performance technology for runners has grown into a lifestyle statement that also fits into the world of premium fashion.
The most popular On models in 2026
Cloud 5 – The entry model and at the same time the most versatile choice. Lightweight, breathable and flat in profile; combines well with jeans, chinos or sportswear.
Cloudmonster – Maximum stack, striking silhouette. The Helion superfoam layer offers excellent cushioning. This is the statement choice for those who love an outspoken chunky look, comparable to what Golden Goose does in the pure fashion realm.
Cloudnova – Broad, flat sole with a more sporty-casual character. Popular as an everyday sneaker for both men and women.
Cloudrift – Open mesh upper for optimal ventilation; ideal as a summer sneaker or for active use on warm days.

Sizing advice: how do On sneakers fit?
On sneakers generally fit true to size. Order your usual size. If you have a wide foot, go up half a size: the Cloud 5 in particular has a relatively narrow silhouette. The Cloudmonster and Cloudnova sit roomier and are the better choice for wide feet without size adjustment.
On vs other premium sneakers
If you're torn between On and brands like Autry or Veja: On excels in technical comfort and lightweight construction. Autry and Veja are more fashion-focused with a retro and sustainable character respectively. On is the right choice if you actually move around in your sneaker, or want to centre the sporty aesthetic.
Care for On sneakers
Clean the CloudTec sole with a damp brush. The upper of mesh models is best washed by hand at 30°C. Avoid the dryer: heat damages the foam. Well-maintained On sneakers last 700 to 1,000 kilometres with daily use.
