Light weigh tShoes with superior support and cushioning.

Significant clues: 9 mm drop and 280 grams for men and 210 grams for women. Official technical specifications of the On brand.

On Cloudflyer 4 runner profile

From my point of view, the On Cloudflyer 4 are aimed at runners with neutral footstep, high and intermediate weights, and for running on asphalt at intermediate and controlled paces. However, thanks to their great lightness, do not rule out running with them at more dynamic paces. Between 4:30 to 5:00 min/km.

Perfect option as training shoes because they offer a great balance between maximum cushioning and stability. All this without having to give up a lighter and more agile feel.

What we liked most about On Cloudflyer 4

The cushioning level of the On Cloudflyer 4 is based on a midsole constructed with the innovative CloudTec system and the exclusive Helion superfoam. An exclusive combination of state-of-the-art materials from the Swiss brand. All this translates into more comfortable, smoother, lighter transitions, but that will also give you the response you need to accelerate your running pace in every workout.

I'm sticking with that dual density cushioning that is noticeable and felt in every stride. On the other hand, its 280 grams speak of a model of stability of the lightest you can find on the market. Especially from the hand of its wider base.

I always like to emphasize this fact, although nowadays all brands are betting on the same strategy. The upper is made with a recycled polyester mesh, so we are talking about a more sustainable running shoe. Another fact in its favor.

I also valor this detail of its more padded tongue to ensure a premium level of comfort.

Opportunities for improvement in the On Cloudflyer 4

The biggest "but" that can be put to these On Cloudflyer 4 is in its level of breathability. It has room for improvement, because, despite the fact that the mesh is multiperforated, its construction seems to me too dense and blunt. With a view to future updates, this section is one of the pending issues for the designers of the Swiss company.
