"The On Cloudboom Volt is built for race day. Designed for speed over the road, it pairs a high-performance foam with a full-length carbon plate to create an aggressive, forward-driving ride.

Helion HF midsole foam delivers a responsive and energetic feel underfoot, while the carbon Speedboard adds stiffness and propulsion. The geometry encourages quick turnover and efficient toe-offs, making it ideal for everything from 5K efforts to the marathon. Lightweight and performance-focused, this is a true racing shoe - not a daily trainer."

Foam Technology

  • Helion HF - Pebax-based superfoam. Helion HF sits at the top of On’s performance hierarchy and is reserved for race models. It is lighter, softer, and more responsive than standard Helion compounds. Underfoot, it feels energetic and highly efficient, prioritizing propulsion and speed over long-wear durability or walking comfort.

How This Shoe Compares

Compared to Compared to Nike Vaporfly

The Vaporfly offers a softer, more aggressive rocker sensation with a highly bouncy ZoomX midsole. The Cloudboom Volt feels slightly firmer and more controlled, with a smoother transition through the forefoot. Both are elite-level marathon racers, but the Volt offers a more stable and grounded feel.

Compared to Compared to Adidas Adizero Adios Pro

The Adios Pro delivers a highly energetic ride with EnergyRods that create a snappy toe-off. The Cloudboom Volt relies on a more traditional full carbon plate and smooth rolling geometry. The Volt feels slightly more predictable, while the Adios Pro feels more explosive under load.
