Rob permiers his On shoes at a long distance Triathlon

August 30th, 2010

I bought my On running shoe just the day before the competition. I tried the shoes for 20 seconds only. Enough for me to take the quick decision to run the Ironman Marathon in the Ons. Stupid everybody would say! – But it was my best decision I could take. The shoes felt very comfortable on the entire 42.2km of the run. No blisters and good for my joints and muscles. This running shoe is the best I have ever had. This shoe will make a lot of runners very happy!

I did not even notice I was running so nicely..then I started thinking that I have not been running all summer and I am already here and NOTHING hurts.  The On running shoes made me have  good posture as I ran they force me to run correctly. - WOWO, I am impressed these shoes are GREAT – better than great!”

It looks great, feels smooth and is ideal for runners who are after a high level of cushioning across the whole shoe, while still achieving that natural running aspect and a high level of performance.” writes John Marsh of Northside Runners.
