CloudTec Explained
In all On models you’ll find CloudTec in the sole of the shoes. CloudTec consists of three different elements; unique Clouds, Speedboard and Helion.
The unique Clouds form the outsole. These clouds can absorb both horizontal and vertical shocks and therefore make your landing extra soft. Once your feet hit the ground, the Clouds stay firmly in place so you can continue running whilst also enjoying a powerful take-off.
CloudTec also features Speedboard. Speedboard stimulates an efficient gait cycle and has a separate design for each model. In competition shoes, for example, the Speedboard is extra responsive, while in a more supportive model it provides more cushioning.
And the last part of the CloudTec approach is On’s cushioning material which is called Helion. The combination of stiffer and softer pieces gives Helion a unique feel. Helion also is resistant to changing temperatures and therefore very durable.
