On Cloudvista 3 Trail Running Shoe - Women's Oyster/Barberry, 10.0

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I've logged a lot of miles in On's Cloudvista 3 on trails that switch between hardpack and rocky climbs without much warning, and the extra cushioning has made a real difference on the descents. The outsole grabs onto wet rock better than any trail shoe I've owned before.""A trail rarely stays predictable for long, one stretch is smooth and fast, the next is loose gravel angling downhill, and On's Cloudvista 3 Trail Running Shoe handles that shift without missing a beat. Footing stays confident through the transition, so a downhill scramble turns into just another part of the run instead of a moment to brace for. That confidence comes from the Helion superfoam midsole, tuned with a slightly higher stack for extra cushioning underfoot, paired with a two-prong Speedboard that adds a springy push-off on each stride. The Missiongrip outsole holds tight on wet rock and loose dirt alike, while the breathable, minimalist upper stays true to size and light enough to forget it's even there."
