On Running Cloudflow 5

The On Cloudflow 5 is a running shoe designed for female athletes in a White-Black colorway, available in size 37.5. This model represents the successor to previous versions of the Cloudflow, specifically developed for road running with a focus on lightness and responsive cushioning. The shoe incorporates proprietary CloudTec technology in the midsole, consisting of individual cloud-like elements that compress under load for cushioning and then lock together to form a stable platform for push-off. This two-phase system aims for soft landings and efficient take-offs throughout the running cycle. The upper is made from technical mesh materials that provide breathability while offering structural support, with strategic reinforcements in high-wear areas for increased durability. The shoe features a Speedboard flex plate in the midsole that works in conjunction with the CloudTec elements to promote a natural rolling motion from heel strike to push-off. The outsole uses durable rubber compounds in key traction zones, designed for grip on paved surfaces with minimal weight. The internal fit system includes a padded tongue and collar for comfort, as well as a heel cap that provides stability without restricting movement. Weighing approximately 240 g per shoe in size 37.5, the Cloudflow 5 combines lightweight construction with sufficient cushioning for daily training runs and tempo workouts. The design emphasizes a snug, secure fit in the midfoot area while allowing for natural toe splay. This model is suitable for female runners looking for a versatile shoe that combines responsiveness with comfort for various running speeds on road surfaces.
