Women's On Running Trainers
On Running trainers are built around a single engineering principle: landings should cushion, take-offs should propel. Every shoe in the women's range features CloudTec® cushioning — hollow pods that compress on impact and lock firm at toe-off — paired with a SpeedBoard® plate that converts downward force into forward motion. This isn't marketing language; it's the biomechanical foundation that took On from a Zurich garage prototype to a New York Stock Exchange listing in eleven years.
The women's range covers road running, trail running, and lifestyle wear. Road models prioritise cushioning and energy return over distance. Trail models add Missiongrip™ traction and reinforced uppers for technical terrain. Lifestyle models blend CloudTec® comfort with cleaner silhouettes for travel and daily wear. Fit runs true to size across most models; trail and racing shoes run slightly narrow through the midfoot.

Road Running
Road models prioritise cushioning and energy return over long distances on tarmac and pavement. Larger CloudTec® pods absorb impact while Helion™ Superfoam maintains responsiveness without adding weight. SpeedBoard® plates convert landing force into forward motion, making these shoes suited to daily training, long runs, and race day — depending on stack height and pod configuration. Complete your road kit with lightweight On running shorts.
Uppers are engineered mesh — lightweight, breathable, and structured to hold shape across hundreds of kilometres. Outsoles use road-specific rubber compounds optimised for grip on dry and wet pavement without excessive wear. Fit runs true to size — refer to our Size Guide for detailed measurements. For runs over 10km, some runners prefer a half size up to accommodate foot swell.
Trail Running
Trail models add grip and protection for uneven terrain. Missiongrip™ rubber outsoles provide traction on wet rock, loose gravel, and mud. Reinforced uppers protect against debris. CloudTec® pods are firmer for stability on technical descents. For changeable mountain weather, pair with a packable On running jacket.
Upper construction is denser than road models — often featuring welded overlays and gusseted tongues to keep out dirt and stones. Toe caps and heel counters are reinforced for durability on rough ground. Fit runs slightly narrow through the midfoot. Wide feet or between sizes — go up half.
Lifestyle & All-Day Wear
Lifestyle models blend CloudTec® comfort with cleaner silhouettes for everyday use. Lighter construction, softer uppers, and simplified lacing make them suited to travel, casual wear, and light gym work. Performance remains, but styling is pared back. Pair with On hoodies or tracksuits for a coordinated off-duty kit.
Uppers range from soft knit to premium leather depending on model. Outsoles are softer compound — built for comfort on hard floors rather than high-mileage durability. Fit runs true to size with no break-in required.
Construction Across the Range
All On trainers share core engineering: CloudTec® cushioning, SpeedBoard® energy transfer, and Helion™ foam. What changes between models is configuration — pod size, plate stiffness, upper materials, and outsole compound. Road models prioritise responsiveness. Trail models prioritise grip and protection. Lifestyle models prioritise versatility and aesthetics.
Care, Longevity & OD's Support
Remove insoles and air-dry after each wear. Clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Never machine wash or tumble dry — heat damages foam and bonding. Store away from direct sunlight. For detailed maintenance advice, see our Care Guide.
Road models wear primarily through the outsole and midsole compression; expect 600–800km before cushioning degrades noticeably. Trail models take additional punishment from terrain — outsole lugs wear faster, uppers show abrasion sooner. Expect 500–700km depending on surface. Reapply waterproofing spray to trail models every 40–50 wears.
OD's is an authorised UK stockist for On Running. All trainers are sourced through official distribution channels, carry full manufacturer warranty, and are backed by in-store fitting and aftercare support.
