The Grivet Take
The Cloudrunner 3 is On's accessible daily trainer for women with a hint of stability built into the wide platform. 35/28 stack with a 7mm drop, CloudTec midsole, and a more accommodating fit than typical On shoes. Best for daily easy miles, long runs at easy pace, walkers, and runners new to the On ride character.

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.
