Helion provides a really lightweight, comfortable, and also responsive ride. The tread pattern has been upgraded from the Cloudswift (the first shoe that featured the Helion) to be more aggressive and feature deeper-lined lugs. CloudTec– for softer landings. On’s adaptive cushioning compresses on landing to absorb impact and create a firm platform to push you forward, step after step. It’s a similar design as seen on the popular Nike Pegasus running shoes, and something I loved instantly because of my past Achilles injuries. Here's a thing that I didn't really understand until relatively recently: A real running shoe is not a sneaker. It is, quite specifically, a running shoe. To call it a sneaker is not exactly smiled upon. This, to me, seemed completely crazy. I love sneakers! It's a term of endearment! But, alas, that's not how dedicated runners—of which I am not one—feel about the matter.

They have a neutral support type which means they should fit most peoples feet. How much cushioning is there? The Cloud Hi Edge, and the Cloud Hi both have a consistent fit with other On Running shoes and most popular brands including Nike, Adidas, and Merrell.You can view and clear your Microsoft Edge browsing history stored on a single device, across all synced devices, and in the cloud.

The Cloud Hi can still be worn without this loop, but it does keep the shoes secure in an area that does flex. My last thing to mention with the upper is the curved heel support which reduces stress on the Achilles while walking or running in them. The low drop gives your feet and legs a more natural stance and footfall position which makes them really comfortable when worn all day long. Since we have yet to test the amended version of the Cloud, please be aware that the following review only speaks to the model of the shoe we originally tested. Hands-On Review of the CloudSpeedboard– a liquid-injected plate of thermoplastic polymer sitting between the CloudTec midsole and uppers. The Speedboard converts more of your energy into forward motion. I love the logo lace loop (that’s the red plastic thingy by the way) that gives a unique lacing configuration but also a funky retro look to the shoes overall. The Cloud Hi Edge is really comfortable, especially considering these could almost be classed as a boot. Everything about them feels plushy and supportive. New Heel Design— The new heel is V-molded and designed to adapt to your foot and provide the wearer with a snug fit. On’s Cloud pod system also happened to be a smart innovation that truly helped me run faster too, and to this very day, they still do.
