On Men's Cloud X 5

Women's On® Cloud X 5: The Women's On Cloud X 5 is a neutral cross-training shoe built for the gym, the weight room, and everything in between. If your workouts shift from squats and lunges to cardio and bodyweight circuits, this shoe moves with you. The Helion™ midsole keeps the ride grounded and responsive without feeling stiff, and the CloudTec® cushioning softens impact while still giving you a stable base to push from. It's the kind of training shoe that doesn't get in the way - it just works.

A few details make the Cloud X 5 especially well-suited for gym training. Deeper flex grooves through the forefoot let your foot move naturally through dynamic movements, so you're not fighting the shoe during a squat or a lateral step. The sculpted footbed adds a comfortable, stable feel underfoot - useful when you're loading weight or holding a position. The upper is built from 100% recycled polyester mesh, which keeps things light and breathable during longer sessions. CleanCloud® technology incorporates a midsole component made from transformed carbon emissions, so the shoe carries a lighter environmental footprint alongside its performance credentials. The rubber outsole holds up reliably on gym floors and training surfaces.

Why Our Fit Experts Love This Shoe

I wore the Cloud X 5 through a full circuit session - kettlebells, box jumps, the works - and what stood out was how flexible the forefoot felt during the lower-body movements. It didn't feel like I was fighting the shoe at all. The cushioning is there when you need it, but the base still feels solid enough for strength work. - Sabrina, Road Runner Sports Fit Expert, San Diego, CA
