The On Cloudboom Volt first caught my eye at The Running Event in Texas 2025, where brands preview their launches for the following year.
Mostly, that was because it looks fantastic — the light blue color I tested might be the best-looking shoe I’ve tried this year, which is always a plus. However, it was also more affordable than On’s other racing shoes, and looked an intriguing option thanks to the combo of a plate and On’s bouncy Helion HF midsole foam.
