The verdict
What the panel makes of it.
On Cloud 5 is a running shoe made by On, the Swiss athletic company. Released in 2023, the shoe uses CloudTec technology—stacked cloud-shaped pods of polyether beneath the foot. Runners buy it for daily training and commuting. The shoe absorbs impact on landing, then propels forward off the toe. AI assistants currently rank it third among sneakers for working women.
