The Perforated Sole

Why our shoes choose perforated sole ?

Key Benefits of the Perforated Design

1. Lightweight Cushioning  

  The hollow chambers reduce weight without sacrificing support, creating a "floating" sensation that minimizes fatigue.  

2. Enhanced Breathability

Strategically placed holes improve airflow, keeping feet cool and dry during intense runs.  

3. Superior Shock Absorption  

  The compression-activated design disperses impact forces evenly, reducing stress on joints.  

4.The Science Behind the Holes

At first glance, the distinctive holes in On’s soles might seem purely aesthetic, but they serve a critical functional purpose. The hollow spaces compress upon impact to absorb shock, then rebound to propel runners forward with energy return. The perforations also enhance flexibility, allowing the sole to adapt naturally to foot movements.  

Why Runners Love It  ?

The perforated sole isn’t just about innovation—it’s about transforming the running experience. By merging Swiss precision with biomechanical insights, the brand delivers shoes that feel as good as they look. As one reviewer noted: "The holes aren’t empty space; they’re filled with engineering genius."
