What's New
The Cloudflyer 5 comes with a new heel collar construction and plush foam around the heel for instant step-in comfort. An asymmetric, dual-density midsole gives the newest version a refined cushioning sensation (firmer heel, softer forefoot) and higher measurable impact absorption than its predecessor.

The Cloudflyer 5 is one of On’s most supportive shoes thanks to its wide platform and molded heel clip that secures your foot for smooth runs. It’s best for everyone from casual runners and walkers to experienced runners training to reach new goals.
Why You'll Love It
Whether you run to clear your head or are training for a marathon, you will love the On Cloudflyer 5’s support and cushioning during your workouts. Plus, it looks as good with running shorts as it does a pair of jeans.
