My Favorite Running Shoe

If you have not yet heard of On Running Shoes, it is time that you did!  I am a big-time running shoeaholic -- presently, I have at least 20 pairs.  I love trying new shoes, but over the past two years, I consistently return to my On Cloudsurfers, as pictured above - they are simply the best! 

On Running Shoes are manufactured in Switzerland -- the company is only a few years  old and in that short time, they have made great strides!  (Pardon the pun). Whether you are a pro-athlete or just starting to run, there is an On Running Shoe for all  types of runners. Each model comes in different color combinations both for men and  women runners. Cloudster: Made to start and have fun. Cloudrunner: Made to build endurance and to train on and off the road. Cloudsurfer: Made to increase performance, to train and compete. Cloudracer:  Made to train fast and compete. Cloud: Latest and lightest addition to the On collection.  With less than 200g, Cloud is made to run with ultimate lightness and comfort. . How does On’s patented CloudTec® system work? Cushioned landing, firm push-off: that’s the core concept behind the new running . It’s a radical development: On’s patented technology combines all the benefits of a soft training shoe and a hard and fast racing shoe. Land on the sand, push off from the running track! The secret to this bold new dual functionality lies in the On’s “clouds” –  hollow pods on the sole of the shoe that stretch back on impact to cushion the landing and then lock to form the solid foundation required  for a powerful push-off.  The result is a new running experience: fast, light and agile.  The On gives its wearers all the benefits of a natural running  style, while still providing optimum comfort and maximum  protection from injury. Athletes who have worn Ons and their coaches have reported greater  muscle activation, new personal bests, fewer injuries and shorter  recovery times. Are you ready to purchase a pair?  If so, please take note of two  important things: 1.  You will need to size up a half size from your dress shoes.   I wear an 8.5 (U.S. sizing) in women's shoes, but take a size 9 in my Ons. 2.  Click on the link directly above this blog post to order a pair of Ons.   Happy shopping!  Let me know what you think after your first run in  your new running shoes.
