Ambassador Spotlight: Nicky Booyens on Trail Adventures in On Shoes
Tifosi Sports, the official distributor of Swiss-engineered On products in South Africa, is proud to support our On Ambassadors as they continue to make their mark in the world of sport.
This month, we checked in with one of our On Ambassadors, Nicky Booyens, to hear her thoughts on the On experience. Her feedback is a testament to the performance, versatility, and style that define the brand.
1. What is it about the On Running brand that you absolutely love?
– They don't just look amazing, they are brilliant running shoes. They are practical, have loads of grip, are well cushioned, flexible and have plenty of support. I can run 500-odd kilometres in them and get no blisters! I have been running in On shoes for more than three years now, and they have taken me on the most amazing running adventures.
– The look – they are stylish, eye-catching and are available in a fabulous array of colours.
– On has a huge range for all types of terrain and distances.
2. Which On products do you use, and what do you love about them?
– The Cloudultra: Being a trail runner, the Cloudultra is my number-one trail shoe choice for any distance. The Missiongrip™ works well on all terrain, and the double CloudTec® technology provides plenty of cushioning and comfort.
– The Cloudventure: The Cloudventure was the very first On trail shoe I ran in, and I loved it. I ran my last 400km Munga Trail in them. I’ve also used them in all three of the Freedom Challenge runs, which range between 478km and 619km. When your feet swell, it’s great to have shoes that adjust comfortably.
– The Cloudventure Peak: I use these for shorter, less technical runs. They have a great tread, and are fast and light.
– The Cloudstratus: I don’t do a lot of road running, but when I do, I like the comfort and extra cushioning of the Cloudstratus. It’s perfect for any road running distance and provides excellent grip on the road.
3. What message have you got for those who want to try the On brand?
– Try them ON! Take advantage of the On Testing Zones, where you can take On shoes for test runs. You’ll love them! Everyone’s feet are different and not every shoe works for everyone, but you won’t know how awesome a pair of On shoes are unless you try them.
