On Cloudnova X Walking Shoes

Description

• Upper: Stretchy metatarsal mesh zones that flex over forefoot sensitivity and bunions, supported by an external heel counter to hold the calcaneus bone steady.

• Midsole Cushioning: High-stack Helion™ superfoam bed engineered to absorb vertical landing forces and minimize shock transmission to knees, hips, and lower back joints.

• Cushioning & Stability Technologies: X-shaped Speedboard® shank supports natural arch structure, limits excessive inward roll (pronation), and reduces tension along the plantar fascia band.

• Outsole: Broad, full-contact rubber sole mapped to eliminate localized pressure spots and evenly distribute body weight across the entire footprint.

  Key Features & Benefits

• Plantar Strain Relief: X-shaped midfoot shank supports natural arch geometry, significantly lowering strain across the plantar fascia.

• Joint Shock Mitigation: Helion™ superfoam and CloudTec® pods buffer surface strikes, drastically lowering impact stress on ankles and knees.

• Grounded Rearfoot Stability: External heel clip cradles the rearfoot to maintain proper anatomical gait mechanics.

• Removable Footbed: Factory sockliner removes easily to accommodate custom medical orthotics or arch supports.

  Sizing & Fit Advice

  Fits True to Size (TTS). The removable factory sockliner easily accommodates custom medical orthotics; select half a size up if using thick custom orthotics.

How to Find Your Size (Step-by-Step Guide)

1. Setup: Place a plain sheet of paper on a hard floor, flushed against a flat wall. 2. Position: Stand on the paper with your heel resting gently against the wall (wearing your preferred athletic socks). 3. Mark: Mark the furthest point of your longest toe on the paper with a pencil. 4. Measure: Measure the distance from the edge of the paper (wall) to your mark in Centimeters (CM).

Recommended Fitting Margin:

• Casual / Everyday Wear (e.g., Cloud 5): Add +0.5 cm to your measured foot length.

• Performance Running / Trail (e.g., Cloudmonster, Cloudstratus): Add +0.5 cm to +1.0 cm for comfortable movement and toe clearance during impact.

On Signature Fit & Characteristics

Fit Profile: On shoes are known for their precision Swiss engineering, featuring a snug midfoot fit and CloudTec® cushioning soles. Popular models like the Cloud 5 tend to have a form-fitting feel around the foot.

Speedboard® & Structure: Due to the firmer Speedboard® plate built into many performance models, the upper holds its shape firmly.
