On Women's Cloudmonster Sneakers ($170)
One of our editors trained for — and ran — a half-marathon in these sneakers, crushing her personal record. Not only do they turn heads with their unique design, but that's exactly why she's obsessed. In her detailed On Women's Cloudmonster Sneaker review, she raves about the stacked foam-pod design that she swears helped her pick up the pace.
Editor Quote: "Not to be dramatic, but I'm obsessed with these sneakers for training and racing. The first time I took off running in them, I couldn't believe how they propelled me forward thanks to their ultrahigh stacked CloudTech foam pods (which measure a tall 30 millimeters, by the way). And I enjoyed them just as much during a recent half-marathon (the epically beautiful St. Croix Crossing Race, to be exact). They have a bouncy responsiveness that I've never experienced with any other sneaker, and for that reason, I'm convinced they're partly due to why I shed a few minutes off my PR. After all, as the name implies, they're born to make you feel like you're running on clouds — and they master that sentiment in a way I didn't know possible." — Marisa Petrarca, contributing editor, Shopping
