Con(siderations)

If you're looking for a long-distance trainer, this is better suited to shorter distances/tempo runs

In Testing

I’ve never had On running shoes previously, having held presumptions about them. These were all proven wrong by my trial of the On CloudSurfer Next. They may carry less-dense cushioning in parallel to the current trend, but I felt that this is precisely the feature which makes the On range stand out.

The CloudSurfer Next offered me a balance between a soft landing, and feeling lightweight and responsive. On shorter, tempo runs I felt a spring in my step with this pair, almost as if I were training to race. Despite being neutral, they were stable and held firm around my foot, allowing flexible but structured running movement.

Verdict

I would recommend the On CloudSurfer Next to those wanting a less bulky, more responsive shoe to train in regularly. The streamlined design is both functional and aesthetically pleasing, and will motivate you towards more get-up-and-go runs!
