  • #261 Which to Choose? Breaking Down On's Running Shoe Lineup
    Oct 1 2025

    Over the past few years, On has become one of the most popular running shoe and apparel brands, both in and outside of the running world. With recent offerings like the Cloudmonster, Cloudsurfer, and Cloudboom Strike, they've proven they can make competitive and impressive shoes. They don't have the most clear-cut of lineups like lots of other brands so, Nathan, David, and Matt get together to break down On's shoes. They talk about On's foams, the function of the "clouds" (pods), their favorite On shoes, and more.
