Absolutely not recommended. The Cloudboom Strike is a full-carbon racing shoe. At 200g it demands excellent ankle stability. The 32mm/38mm platform with low stability rating is risky for new runners. Choose the Cloudrunner series instead.

The On Cloudboom Strike (2026) is the brand's flagship carbon-plate racing super-shoe, pairing Helion HF supercritical foam with a full-length carbon fiber Speedboard for a race-ready 32mm/38mm (6mm drop) platform. At just 200g (US9) and NT$7,980, it's On's lightest and most responsive race-day weapon. The single-layer mesh upper keeps weight minimal, while the hollow-pod midsole works in harmony with the carbon plate for explosive toe-offs and a firm, propulsive ride. Designed for advanced runners targeting sub-3:30 marathon or sub-1:30 half marathon.
