Overall

A very solid, supportive shoe for the slight pronator. Like many On shoes, it is light in the cushioning, but despite this I enjoy the shoe on a variety of distances and paces. The shoe also has the On characteristic style, so the shoe looks great for street wear. I would recommend this shoe to someone who typically runs between 3-8 miles per day, needs a bit more support than you would find in a neutral shoe, and who doesn't want a shoe with a ridiculous color scheme.
