The On Cloud X 3 AD is a versatile training shoe designed for short runs and casual walks. Its construction features a thinner upper that fits closely like a sock, enhancing flexibility and agility during use. This shoe is particularly suitable for those seeking a lightweight option due to its increased airiness compared to the regular X 3.
Lab results indicate that while the On Cloud X 3 AD excels in flexibility, it may exhibit reduced stability for serious strength training and weightlifting activities. The structural design prioritizes comfort over rigidity, making it less ideal for rigorous workouts requiring firm support.
Given its price point, potential buyers might consider waiting for a discount, as similar performance-oriented cross-trainers from other brands are available at competitive prices.
