Let’s talk about running – the art of moving one’s two feet rapidly, with the aim of exercising or reaching a destination more swiftly. Yes, in theory, it sounds easy and somewhat fun. But in reality, running scares even the toughest fitness fanatic.
Running can be difficult, especially if your fitness isn’t up to scratch. Running can also make one look somewhat silly if you don’t have the right motion (hello incoordination). But beyond the fear and trepidation, running can form a great release for one’s inner stress and frustration. It can get you fit in no time, and there’s also merit behind the idea of a ‘runner’s high’.
Just ask the guys at On.
In 2010, three mates from Zurich, Switzerland set about to revolutionise the way you run. Based on the idea of creating soft landings followed by explosive take-offs, On wanted to create running shoes that would give one the ultimate running sensation.
Every On shoe feels unique. And that’s no accident. CloudTec® technology visibly contributes to the sensation of running on clouds, but it never works alone. Its partner for propulsion is the Speedboard® – the secret to converting soft landings into explosive take-offs for the ultimate ride. Offering multi-directional cushioning, a pair of On running shoes will react to your running style with the sole compressing horizontally and vertically to support your movement.
Since launching over 10 years ago, On continues to develop an extensive product range for the everyday runner, fully engineered in Switzerland using the latest technology available.
