Know before you buy
The Cloudultra is designed for mixed terrain. Its Missiongrip™ outsole features three independent traction patterns that provide reliable grip on both off-road trails and paved surfaces, making it a versatile choice for door-to-trail runs.
The FlipRelease™ is a small toggle on the lacing system that allows you to quickly loosen or tighten the fit of your shoe. It is particularly useful for long-distance runs when your feet naturally swell and you need to adjust the pressure without stopping to retie your laces.
Yes, the Cloudultra is built as a neutral running shoe, which works well for runners with medium to high arches. The max cushioning provides a plush, natural ride that supports a neutral gait.
No, the Cloudultra features connected Cloud pods specifically designed to prevent debris from getting stuck in the outsole. This keeps the ride smooth and ensures you aren't carrying extra weight from trail grit.
This model uses a double layer of Helion™ superfoam, creating a 'max cushion' experience. It feels significantly softer and more plush than On's speed-focused models, prioritizing long-term comfort for ultra-distance efforts.
