On Running Cloud 6 Running Shoe Men - Ash/Cinder

The On Cloud 6 in Ash | Cinder is the latest version of On’s signature all-day lifestyle trainer, combining the familiar minimalist Cloud look with upgraded comfort, cushioning and stability. Designed for everyday wear, walking, commuting and travel, it features Zero-Gravity CloudTec® cushioning, an all-day Speedboard®, improved geometry and an easier step-in construction.

A wider opening, new sockliner and improved heel construction make the shoe easier to put on and give a more supportive fit, while it keeps the lightweight, low-profile character that made the Cloud series a popular everyday choice. On also uses bio-attributed Zero-Gravity foam derived from renewable ISCC+ certified bio-feedstock in the midsole.

Sizing Advice

The updated construction accommodates a broader range of feet than earlier Cloud designs. Independent testing has also noted the roomier opening and improved toe-box space, although exceptionally wide feet may still benefit from trying the shoe before purchase.

Key Features

• Zero-Gravity CloudTec® cushioning – On’s signature cushioning for a comfortable everyday feel; the lightweight Zero-Gravity foam reduces unnecessary bulk and gives the distinctive Cloud underfoot sensation.
• Speedboard® for all-day performance – adds structure to the lightweight CloudTec® platform, encourages smooth transitions through each step and helps create a responsive feel while walking.
• Upgraded Cloud 6 geometry – updated shape and structure improve comfort, cushioning and stability while keeping the low-profile Cloud silhouette.
• Bio-attributed Zero-Gravity foam – the midsole uses renewable materials sourced from ISCC+ certified bio-feedstock, which can include sources such as waste cooking oil. On states that 50% of the Zero-Gravity foam is bio-attributed in the Cloud 6.
• Easy step-in sockliner – a new sockliner improves step-in comfort and makes the shoe easier to put on, with a comfortable interior feel.
• Wider opening – makes stepping into the Cloud 6 easier and creates a less restrictive entry around the foot.
• Improved heel construction – additional support and a secure everyday fit, working with the wider opening for easier step-in.
• Speed lacing system – quick-entry speed laces, with no traditional tying required for routine use. Some versions are also supplied with traditional laces for those who prefer a conventional fit.
• Lightweight 267g construction – easy to wear through busy days and practical to pack into luggage or a travel bag.
• 8mm heel-to-toe drop – a familiar heel-to-toe platform that complements the CloudTec® geometry for smooth walking transitions.
• Recycled polyester materials – recycled polyester in the shoe’s construction; manufactured in Vietnam.
• Ash | Cinder colourway – a neutral colour combination that is easy to match with casual and active clothing, for commutes, travel, everyday styling and year-round wear.

Performance Overview

The On Cloud 6 is built primarily as an everyday lifestyle and walking shoe rather than a dedicated high-mileage road running trainer. The lightweight Zero-Gravity CloudTec® cushioning gives a comfortable underfoot platform, while the Speedboard® adds structure and a smooth sense of progression through each step.

For the Cloud 6, On has refined the geometry, shape and structure of its signature shoe. The wider opening and redesigned sockliner make entry easier, and the improved heel construction adds support – useful for commuters, travellers and active users who take their shoes on and off frequently. The speed lacing system and low-profile 267g construction make it practical for city use, everyday errands and travel.

Independent assessments vary on whether its moderate cushioning is ideal for very long periods of standing, but testers consistently highlight its lightweight design, easy on-and-off construction and versatility for commuting and casual walking. It is best viewed as a sleek, flexible everyday shoe rather than a maximum-cushioned walking or running model; for serious running or maximum-cushioned all-day standing, a more specialised On model may be more appropriate. Further information on the Cloud 6’s bio-attributed Zero-Gravity foam, wider opening and speed-lacing construction is discussed in detailed field testing of the model.
