On Cloudsurfer

On Cloud Surfer Shoes Built for a Smooth Daily Ride

On Cloudsurfer

Most cushioned trainers feel soft. The Cloudsurfer feels smooth, which is a different thing entirely. This is the shoe On built to roll, the one that turns each stride into a fluid, wave-like motion from the moment your heel touches down. If you have ever wanted a daily runner that feels playful rather than plodding, the Cloudsurfer is that shoe. The full range sits up to 33% off right now, down from £195 to £130.

What Makes It Surf: CloudTec Phase

The magic sits in the sole, and it has a name: CloudTec Phase. Instead of every cushion pod squashing at once, the pods are engineered to collapse in sequence from heel to toe. That staged collapse is what creates the rolling feel, guiding your foot forward like a wave breaking under you. The landing is soft, the transition is quick, and the foam still snaps back for a lively push-off, so the ride stays fun even deep into a run. It is a genuinely distinctive sensation, and it is the whole reason people fall for this shoe.

Two Ways to Wear It: Classic or Waterproof

This lineup splits neatly into two camps, so you pick by weather and mood. The classic trio, All Black, White on White and Creek on White, gives you clean, versatile looks that run just as happily as they pair with everyday outfits. Then there are the waterproof builds, Black Gray, Black Orange, Languid Lavender and Orange, each with a sealed upper that shrugs off rain and puddles while keeping that same rolling ride underneath. Live somewhere grey and wet? The waterproof colourways are the smart pick for year-round running.

Where It Fits in the On Lineup

Think of the Cloudsurfer as the fun, everyday middle ground. It is lighter and quicker underfoot than the max-cushion On Cloudmonster, which is the pick when you want the deepest, most protective stack. It is more running-focused than the casual lifestyle styles, yet clean enough to wear off-duty. For a fuller look at faster and race-day options, the wider On Cloud running shoes range has you covered, and the women's collection carries the Cloudsurfer ride on a women's-specific fit.

It is On's cushioning setup on the Cloudsurfer where the pods collapse in sequence from heel to toe, creating the shoe's signature smooth, rolling transition.

They are. The waterproof colourways use a sealed upper that keeps feet dry through rain and puddles, so they suit wet-weather and year-round running.

What is the difference between the Cloudsurfer and Cloudmonster?
