Since On started as a running shoe brand, there are plenty of models to choose from when looking for a pair of On shoes to run in. Whether you’re looking for a neutral or stability running shoe, On offers a variety of shoes for road or trail running:

  • Road Running: There are plenty of models to choose from within the road running category, and they’re all loaded with technology to provide soft, cushioned landings no matter your preferred distance. From everyday trainers to marathon races, you’ll find the best running shoes for your distance.

On Shoes for Walking & Everyday Wear

If you plan on wearing your On shoes when walking for exercise, standing on your feet for extended periods, or traveling, you’ll want a pair of shoes that provide plush cushioning underfoot. Other features to consider when looking for walking shoes include slip-on or speed lacing for easy on and off. Popular styles for On walking shoes include Cloudswift and Cloudflyer.

On Shoes for Hiking

If you’re looking to take the road less traveled, a pair of On hiking boots provides cushioning and ankle support along with reliable protection thanks to the durable uppers and outsoles. Plus, many styles of hiking boots are waterproof for unpredictable weather including On Cloudrock.

On Shoes for Training & Gym

If you love On shoes for running, choose a pair of On training shoes—like the Cloud X— for cross-training days at the gym. Featuring raised sidewalls, molded crash pads, and all the On technology you love, these training shoes provide plenty of comfort and stability when lifting or during mixed workouts.
