On Running Cloudflow 5

The On Cloudflow 5 running shoe in light blue, size 39, is the successor model of the Cloudflow series, designed for female runners seeking responsive performance and lightweight comfort. This model features On's signature CloudTec cushioning system with hollow elements that compress upon impact to absorb shocks and then lock together to form a solid platform for push-off, allowing for a smooth transition from heel to forefoot. The upper is made of single-layer technical mesh, providing breathable support and a secure fit, with minimal seams to reduce potential friction. The Speedboard, a flexible plate in the midsole area, works in conjunction with the Cloud elements to return energy and enhance forward momentum. The outsole utilizes strategically placed rubber pads in high-wear areas for durable grip on various surfaces, while the lightweight nature of the shoe is maintained at approximately 220 g per shoe in size 39. The design includes a heel cap and molded insole for added stability and comfort, making it suitable for daily training, tempo runs, and longer distances where a balance of cushioning and responsiveness is preferred. The light blue colorway offers a contemporary look. It is recommended to consult On's official sizing guide for an optimal fit, as the Cloudflow 5 is constructed with a performance-oriented last.
