Step into On’s max cushioned running shoe that truly feels like you’re running on clouds. It all starts, as it always does with On, with Cloudtec. The On Cloudeclipse comes suited with double Cloudtec phase for a supremely soft ride and a smooth and effortless transition through your stride. A modified Speedboard adds stability and structure to the shoe to balance the softness of the light and soft Helion superfoam. The dope dyed upper not only conserves water in manufacturing, it looks, well, dope and offers a lightly structured fit with a roomy toe box. Whether you’re seeking maximum cushioning for long runs or for long days on your feet, the On Cloudeclipse is the answer for you.
WHY PACERS CARRIES THESE SHOES:
For years, the idea that On’s running shoes felt like running on clouds was belied by the fact that their shoes were quite firm and responsive. That’s not a bad thing – plenty of people like a firmer feel in their running shoes – but it did lead to a fair amount of disconnect and confusion. With shoes like the new On Cloudeclipse, that’s all changing. Helion superfoam and double Cloudtec phase make this shoe as soft and cushioned as they come with enough structure and responsiveness to create an enjoyable ride. It’s fair to call the Cloudeclipse On’s first true max cushioned running shoe. It’s a perfect shoe for long and easy runs that will still inject plenty of fun into your runs.
WHAT’S NEW:
This new shoe from On picks up on trends we’ve seen in a few of their more popular recent releases like the Cloudmonster and Cloudsurfer. Namely, we’re seeing softer shoes from the brand with higher levels of cushioning. The softness of the Cloudeclipse’s double Cloudtec phase is balanced by a partial X-shaped Speedboard that adds structure to the shoe and prevents the foot from getting lost in all the cushion. It combines the energy of the Cloudmonster with the softness of the Cloudsurfer for a running shoe that delivers both cushion and bounce that make running fun day after day.

HOW THEY COMPARE TO OTHER SHOES:

-
PRONATION: The On Cloudeclipse doesn’t have any specific support features to correct overpronation. For more guidance, we recommend the On Cloudflyer 4.
-
SPEED: The On Cloudeclipse is too soft to really crank up the speed. For a faster shoe, we recommend the On Cloudflow 4 or the On Cloudboom Echo 3.
