Shoe Advice
On shoes are not slip-resistant. We have waterproof models and Trail Running shoes that have an emphasis on traction and performance, but we do not offer a nonslip model at this time.
The primary difference is that men's shoes are designed wider than women's. Customers are free to purchase shoes of any gender, though! Women's shoes are a 1.5 size larger than men's (so a men's size 7 is a women's 8.5 in US sizes).
If you're unsure which size you wear in our footwear or apparel, each product page has a size chart and fit recommendation. For Performance Running and Performance Outdoor models, the standard recommendation is one size bigger than your everyday shoe size.
On comes from Switzerland, so our products have been tested throughout different seasons and landscapes. We have Performance Running shoes for running city streets wherever you may be, and our Performance Outdoor collection will support you when you hit the trails. For On Apparel, each product's page indicates whether it is water-resistant, waterproof, or windproof.
It depends on many factors, such as running style, weight, and the surface you run on. But generally, shoes (not just On shoes) last up to 300 miles (approx. 482 km) depending on the model and materials used. For example, some of our styles, such as the Cloudboom Echo, are designed for high-performance racing, so naturally, they won't have the same durability as an all-day shoe like the Cloud 5.
