In Testing

My previous shoe was the Saucony Triumph which is extremely well cushioned, so I was curious to see if this would feel less cushioned when I was tired / on long runs. I’m glad to report that on every run I’ve felt supported and protected.

I like the responsiveness of the shoe; it moves so well with my stride that although it’s not as plushly cushioned as the Triumph, I don’t notice. If a shoe moves well with you the impact-shock is dispersed better through your stride.

I also like the mild support – my foot feels nicely held, especially at the heel, and I can feel the subtle influence through my stride to keep me in a neutral gait.

Verdict

This feels more cushioned than my old Cloudrunners and represents a slightly new direction for On. This shoe is going to suit a large demographic of runners. Really good cushioning and a smooth transition from landing to toe-off means you are well supported and protected. Can be used for long, slow runs and faster tempo runs with equal success.
