On Cloudrunner 3
A light-stability daily trainer with a plush upper, plastic heel clip, and raised sidewalls over a notably firm midsole. It suits beginners and stability seekers logging easy road miles who value a locked-in, controlled feel. Reviewers found the foam brick-like with little energy return and pointed to better value at or below its $160 price.
Reach for the On Cloudrunner 3 for everyday training miles and easy recovery days. A wide, stable base keeps it steady without stability hardware, so it's a good pick if you're mostly neutral but like a planted feel.
- Effective light stability without a harsh post
- Plush, premium-feeling upper
- Full rubber outsole grips and wears well
- Very firm, dead-feeling midsole
