The Grivet Take

The Cloudeclipse is On's max-cushion neutral daily trainer with CloudTec Phase architecture and Helion superfoam underfoot. The 37mm stack and 6mm drop deliver a soft, plush ride for long runs, daily mileage, and walking. The wave-collapse CloudTec Phase pods transition weight smoothly from heel to toe; the platform is wide for stable footfalls at the tall stack height. Now superseded in the lineup by the Cloudsurfer Max; closeout pricing on the Cloudeclipse is the value pick for runners who want a softer, plush On daily trainer.

Support

Support TypeSupport Type describes how much built-in guidance the shoe has. Neutral shoes do not add support structure. Stability shoes use geometry, rails, firmer foam, or frame designs to create a more guided feel. Motion control shoes are the maximum-support category and are rare in modern running.

How it fits

Fits true to size for most runners. Toe box runs standard width with normal vertical volume. Midfoot is normal width with a soft engineered mesh upper wrap. Heel hold is excellent. Available in standard (B) only at Grivet for women's. The high stack adds vertical bulk; runners new to max-cushion should expect a different feel underfoot than typical daily trainers.

How it feels

Cushion is max-stack and soft-leaning. CloudTec Phase pods compress on landing and transition the foot through the gait cycle in a wave-collapse pattern; Helion superfoam adds impact absorption underneath. The 6mm drop pairs with the moderate rocker for smooth transitions. Energy return is modest; this is a comfort-first long-run partner rather than a responsive shoe. The wide platform delivers stable footfalls even at the tall stack height.

Tech, translated

CloudTec Phase is On's evolved CloudTec architecture: hollow pods are arranged horizontally to collapse in a wave-like motion as the foot transitions from heel to toe. This delivers smoother weight transfer than discrete CloudTec columns. Helion superfoam is On's named premium midsole foam, lighter and more responsive than standard EVA. In the Cloudeclipse the foam pairs with CloudTec Phase pods for a soft, plush ride. The outsole uses rubber on the high-wear areas. The 6mm drop is moderate and pairs with the tall stack for smooth transitions.

Frequently asked

Does the On Cloudeclipse run true to size?
The Cloudeclipse runs true to size for most runners. The toe box is standard width with normal vertical volume; the engineered mesh upper provides a comfortable wrap. Available in standard (B) only at Grivet for women's. Runners between sizes can usually stay with their typical On size.
Is the On Cloudeclipse firm or soft underfoot?
The Cloudeclipse is on the soft side. CloudTec Phase pods compress comfortably on landing and the Helion superfoam adds impact absorption underneath. Runners who want a firmer max-cushion feel should look at the On Cloudmonster 2 instead.
Is the On Cloudeclipse good for treadmill running?
Yes. The rubber outsole grips treadmill belts reliably and the max-cushion stack absorbs the harder treadmill landing exceptionally well. The wave-collapse CloudTec Phase architecture maintains smooth transitions across longer treadmill sessions.
How does the On Cloudeclipse compare to the Cloudsurfer Max?
The Cloudsurfer Max is the evolution of the Cloudeclipse concept; both share the CloudTec Phase plus Helion superfoam max-cushion brief. The Cloudsurfer Max uses a double-layer CloudTec Phase for an even softer feel; the Cloudeclipse is the predecessor at closeout pricing. Pick the Cloudeclipse for the closeout value; pick the Cloudsurfer Max for the latest version.
Is the Cloudeclipse good for long runs?
Yes. The 37mm cushion stack and the moderate rocker pair well for runners who want max-cushion protection across long efforts. The CloudTec Phase architecture softens late-run impact when fatigue compromises form. This was one of the better long-run options in the On lineup before the Cloudsurfer Max launched.
