Cloudswift Kids

The On Cloudswift Kids is a versatile road shoe designed for kids who stay active from playground to pavement. Adapted from the adult Cloudswift, this youth version focuses on lightweight cushioning, breathability, and ease of wear rather than performance racing. The CloudTec® midsole delivers smooth, cushioned landings with a flexible ride that feels natural for both running and walking, while the lack of a Speedboard makes the shoe soft and pliable underfoot. A breathable engineered mesh upper and TPU support panels give a secure fit, and easy slip-on construction with elastic laces helps kids get going quickly. Durable rubber inserts at the heel and forefoot provide reliable traction for daily adventures. Whether they’re logging miles around the neighborhood or heading to school, the Cloudswift Kids blends comfort, grip, and playful performance in a kid-ready package.

Foam Technology

CloudTec® with Helion midsole foam On’s CloudTec® system paired with Helion foam provides balanced cushioning that prioritizes comfort and smooth impact absorption over aggressive energy return. In the Cloudswift Kids, this combo creates a soft, flexible underfoot feel that’s forgiving and accessible for kids’ varying stride patterns. Designed below On’s performance foams, Helion emphasizes durability and everyday comfort appropriate for road running and walking.


Comfort & Fit Notes

Breathable, engineered mesh upper with TPU support for secure fit. Easy slip-on, bootie construction with elasticated laces reduces frustration at the door. Balanced cushioning feels soft but stable underfoot for mixed activity. Flexible, natural ride – great for play, walking, and running.

How This Shoe Compares

Compared to Compared to Hoka Clifton Kids

The Clifton Kids delivers a softer, more plush cushion feel suited for longer walks and recovery play. The Cloudswift Kids feels firmer underfoot and more flexible, encouraging natural movement and quick activity bursts. Both are comfortable daily shoes, but the Hoka leans more cushioned while the On is lighter and nimble.

Compared to Compared to ASICS Novablast Kids

The Novablast Kids emphasizes a bouncier, more energetic ride with a softer foam feel. The Cloudswift Kids trades that bounciness for a more controlled, everyday comfort that’s versatile for running and walking. The On feels more grounded and less energetic, making it better for varying activity across a school day.

Pairs Well With

Cushioned kids running socks for comfort and blister prevention / Light athletic shorts and tees for play and PE / A lightweight rain jacket for all-weather activity / An everyday backpack for school and activity days
