The On Cloudpulse Review & Lab Test: Shop Men’S & Women’S Models of 2026

On Cloudpulse is a training shoe designed for high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and cardio workouts. The shoe's supportive construction, along with its responsive cushioning, offers notable performance during high-impact exercises based on our wear tests. However, it may not provide sufficient stability for heavier lifting or CrossFit activities.
