I have been aware of the On brand for a while and was very interested in their shoes. I had the opportunity to try on a pair when I visited runners need in Exeter and resolved that when my Nike Vomero's finally needed to be retired I would splash out on a pair of Cloudsurfer's.… Continue reading On Cloudsurfer review
