Expert Review Sources

  • RoadTrailRun : 83.1 / 100 — « Built by On around the CloudTec + Helion midsole, the Cloudflow 4 pairs a fluid forefoot roll with leg-saving CloudTec + Helion cushioning (245 g). A smart choice for runners looking for a 7.9 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
  • Believe in the Run : 83.1 / 100 — « Calibrated with a 7.9 mm drop and weighing 245 g, the On Cloudflow 4 delivers an engaging, lively ride powered by its CloudTec + Helion bounce (245 g). Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at €170. »
  • RunRepeat : 83.6 / 100 — « The On Cloudflow 4.0 emerges as an impressive evolution from its predecessor, albeit catering to a niche audience with its firm midsole and form-fitting upper, sidelining a significant number of runners. Priced steeply at $160, we think it excels as a versatile neutral shoe for those it fits, delivering stability and a responsive, rockered run. Furthermore, the fact that it's one of the lightest daily trainers on the market enhances its attractiveness, in our view. »
