Enhanced Support for a Comfortable, Protected Run
Elevate your running experience in the new On Cloudflyer 5, a supportive running shoe with improved comfort. A re-engineered midsole uses dual densities of On’s Helion™ superfoam to offer better impact absorption and a more comfortable underfoot experience. Above the midsole but below the foot is a new molded, dual-density sockliner, adding an extra layer of cushioning and support.
For increased comfort up top, the Cloudflyer 5 features a new heel collar design with plush padding, securely wrapping and securing the foot. This upper is crafted from breathable engineered mesh, made with about 72% percent recycled polyester, helping to lower its overall carbon footprint.
On made a bold choice with the Cloudflyer 5 and decided to do away with the Speedboard® that’s previously been incorporated within the midsole. With its removal, this daily trainer feels even softer while on your feet, making this the most comfortable version of the Cloudflyer yet.
Features & Benefits:
- Updated Helion™ superfoam midsole features two different densities for a lighter, more responsive experience
- Re-engineered heel collar improves comfort and better secures the foot
- A broader platform at the heel and forefoot helps increase overall stability
- Removal of the Speedboard adds more softness for a more comfortable underfoot feeling
- Breathable, engineered mesh upper is made with 72% recycled polyester

Comfortable post-op shoe
I tried the Cloudflyer 5 on in the Cambridge store, and it has the perfect support, cushioning, and tongue flexibility for my post op knee and ankle injury. In the end, I ended up exchanging this style for a different shoe in a more versatile color that I can wear every day.
