The shoe at a glance.
The On Cloudrunner 3 combines a broad base, structured heel and cushioned upper in a stability trainer for controlled easy runs, recovery miles and walking. Its guidance comes from the platform, sidewalls and heel clip, offering support without a performance plate. The firm, substantial ride has little spring for faster sessions, so it is best considered for steady efforts. Fit is listed as regular and true to size, although the toe shape can restrict toe spread; a wide version provides an alternative if you need more room.
