The On Cloudsurfer Next running shoes are designed for runners seeking an agile, dynamic, and smooth ride, making them ideal for daily training and tempo runs. Featuring the innovative Cloudtec Phase technology, they provide exceptional momentum with every stride. While offering a versatile feel and premium comfort, their slightly lower stack height compared to the original Cloudsurfer may appeal to those preferring a more grounded experience rather than maximal cushioning.

The On Cloudsurfer Next excels in providing a highly responsive and dynamic running experience, making it suitable for a range of activities from daily training runs to faster tempo sessions. The Cloudtec Phase technology's unique forward-collapsing clouds are designed to actively propel you, creating a noticeable sensation of momentum, which can be particularly beneficial when trying to maintain pace or during speed work. Its lighter weight and agile feel mean it won't feel clunky during quick changes of direction or stride. The updated rubber outsole ensures reliable grip, offering confidence whether you're running on dry pavement or navigating wet conditions. Runners will appreciate the balance of cushioning and ground feel, offering enough protection for longer efforts without feeling overly plush, allowing for a versatile performance across different types of runs.
When you first receive your On Cloudsurfer Next shoes, ensure you select the correct UK size, in this case, a UK 10.5. Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for running. There should be a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The lacing system allows for a customizable fit; experiment with different lacing techniques to find what feels most secure and comfortable for your foot, preventing heel slip or excessive pressure points.
These shoes are best suited for neutral runners looking for an agile and dynamic ride. They perform well as daily trainers, tempo run shoes, and for runners who enjoy a responsive feel rather than an ultra-soft, maximalist experience. They are versatile enough for various road conditions and light track work.
Cleaning: To clean your Cloudsurfer Next shoes, gently brush off any loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap (like hand soap or dish soap) and lukewarm water with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh detergents or bleaching agents. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers), which can warp materials. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb excess moisture and help them retain their shape.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for extended periods, as this can degrade materials over time.
Longevity: Rotate your running shoes if you run frequently. This allows the cushioning to decompress and recover between runs, extending the lifespan of your Cloudsurfer Next.
