As someone who’s spent a majority of her career writing about health and fitness, I know a thing or two about what makes a good sneaker. It all comes down to design, which is something On has mastered. From their cushiony midsoles to grippy outsoles, all On sneakers are built to be supportive and stable, and more importantly, to feel comfortable. They quite literally do make you feel like you’re walking on a cloud, which makes them ideal for long travel days or trips where you’ll be getting a lot of movement in.
Some On shoes can be quite a splurge, though, which is why we’re excited about On’s early Fourth of July sale where you can grab some of the brand’s bestsellers for up to 40 percent off. From hiking shoes to walking shoes, there are a ton of discounts on top-rated styles across Zappos, REI, and the sneaker brand’s website. If you’re looking for comfy sneakers that won’t clash with your trip ‘fits, I’ve got you covered. Here are the 12 best On shoe deals right now.
Best On Running Early 4th of July Sales
On Women’s Cloudmonster
Zappos
If you love a bouncy shoe, you’ll be a fan of the Cloudmonster’s forward-rolling sole. The sneaker is one of On’s most cushioned shoes, and is designed with a rocker shape that delivers energy return with each step (a springiness that lets you go longer before feeling fatigued while running). Despite its thick, cushioned sole, the sneaker is light and breathable with a soft sockliner that makes it comfy to wear on daily runs or long travel days. The Cloudmonster is a solid shoe, whether you prefer running slow or fast, since its proprietary CloudTec cushioning helps propel you forward with each step.
On Women’s Cloudsurfer Trail
REI
Designed with a similar cushioned design as the Cloudmonster, but made for the trails, the Cloudsurfer Trail can handle all the terrain you’ll be encountering on your next adventure. Its grippy sole offers traction and durability on both wet and dry surfaces, allowing you to run with more confidence, even during rainy weather. The sneaker’s ‘Helion’ superfoam midsole also delivers shock absorption, keeping your feet comfortable through the duration of your run. Its flexible, soft-mesh upper also makes it a breathable and lightweight option that helps keep your feet in a natural path of motion (it won’t feel like you’re dragging your feet towards their next step).
On Women’s Cloudnova 2
ON
Perfect for running through the terminal to catch your next flight, On’s Cloudnova 2 delivers a smooth ride, thanks to its wide middle bootie and stable heel pillow. These allow the sneaker to feel comfortable for longer periods of time, and help you move faster, too. The shoe never feels too stiff, either. That’s because it’s designed with On’s Speedboard, a supportive and flexible plate in the midsole that delivers energy return and better speed. Right now, these sneakers are at the lowest price they’ve been in 30 days.
On Men’s Cloudstratus 3
ON
One of On’s bestsellers, the Cloudstratus 3, is more cushiony and comfortable than its predecessors. A great option for walking tours or trips where you’ll be racking up your steps, its foam midsole allows for plush landings, and its collar and tongue design provide all-day comfort. The sneakers are also made with a rubber outsole that allows the shoe to remain grippy on all surfaces, a plus if you’re traversing through shiny museum floors or wet city streets. Currently down 40 percent, this is one of the best deals on this list.
On Men’s Cloudpulse
Zappos
If you never skip a training day, even while traveling, the On Cloudpulse is a great sneaker to pack along with your other trip essentials. It’s designed with a Speedboard that’s thick in the middle and thinner in the front. This keeps the shoe flexible but supportive enough to offer stability during HIIT workouts and circuit training. Its sweat-wicking mesh upper keeps airflow going, so your feet don’t overheat during tough workouts. Even better, despite being so supportive, the shoe is a lightweight option perfect for cardio and sprints, too.
On Women’s Cloud X 4 AD
Zappos
Designed with a sleeker silhouette than some of On’s other shoes, the Cloud X 4 AD is a great option for pairing with your casual vacation outfits, including those cute summer dresses, but you can take them to the gym, too. The sneaker’s star-shaped lacing keeps it secure on your feet, and its roomy toe box and breathable mesh upper keep it comfy and dry all day. The white colorway option can make a great addition to your arsenal of white sneakers.
On Men’s Cloudsurfer Next
Zappos
Whether you’re training for your next race or plan on running to make tight connections, the Cloudsurfer Next can help get you there faster. The lightweight and cushioned shoe is designed with a rocker shape silhouette that propels you forward with less effort. Its flexible midsole collapses with every step, making for smooth heel-to-toe transitions. You’ll also love that the shoe provides great traction. The rubber pads on its outsole makes the sneaker super grippy no matter how fast you’re moving. The Cloudsurfer Next is also at the lowest price it’s been in 30 days.
On Women’s Cloudhorizon Hiking Shoes
ON
Made to tackle moderate terrain and perfect for long walks, the On Cloudhorizon shoe is designed with a pillowy, plush feel that makes it comfy for extended wear. The sneakers are made with On’s CloudTec Phase, which reduces foot fatigue by making weight transfer from heel to toe a lot smoother. Its Missiongrip rubber outsole can also handle wet and dry surfaces, so that you feel secure even in wet weather. Best of all, the shoe is both supportive and durable, so its construction remains intact no matter how often you pack it.
On Women’s Cloudtilt
Zappos
Designed for walking, On’s Cloudtilt sneaker is the perfect everyday walking shoe. It’s designed with an elastic lacing system, which allows you to simply slip these on, though you can toy around with the laces to get a tighter fit, if needed. The shoe’s ultra-cushioned midsole prevents hard landings and makes energy return a priority, keeping foot fatigue at bay for longer. It’s the perfect shoe for city adventures or long days on your feet.
On Women’s Cloudswift 3
Zappos
The Cloudswift 3 is designed to be comfy on an array of foot shapes. Its forward-rolling design delivers energy return to make it easier to move forward. Though cushioned, this shoe is a little stiffer than other options on the list, but it provides a comfortable and secure fit. Its stiffer fit makes it a lot more stable, though, so it’s a great everyday choice for those looking for a more supportive shoe. You can wear this one on your runs, too, since the rocker-shaped forefront can help you move faster.
On Women’s Cloudpulse
Zappos
If you’re looking for a shoe that can do it all, the On Cloudpulse is your perfect fit. Just like the men’s option, the women’s Cloudpulse is a light and bouncy shoe that’ll keep your feet supported through everything from walking to weightlifting. It’s made with a reinforced mesh upper that gives the shoe structure and stability, while keeping it breathable. Plus, at least 20 percent of the shoe is made from recycled material, so this shoe gets a few bonus points for keeping sustainability in mind, too.
On The Roger Advantage 1
Zappos
While the On The Roger Advantage 1 shoes are technically made for tennis, the tenniscore fashion trend is still a thing, making this pair a stylish choice whether you plan on playing a match or not. They’re made with thick soles and repositioned grooves that make the shoe flexible, meaning they bend along with your feet. The forefront of the shoe is also made with extra cushioning to keep it comfortable on long walks and beyond. Its polished look will make it a good complement to your vacation wardrobe.
