For the longest time, I assumed that supportive, comfortable running shoes built to withstand long distances and trail runs also had to be a bit clunky, heavy, and more closely resembling dad sneakers than sleek athletic shoes. But the new Cloudflow running shoes from popular Swiss brand On completely changed my mind.
RELATED: The 20 Most Comfortable Sneakers, According to Customer Reviews
First released in 2016, the On Cloudflow sneaker has since been given a total upgrade. The new-and-improved model—the Cloudflow 2.0—is better than ever. In order to revamp the already-supportive shoe, On used feedback from professional athletes to design the optimized 2.0 version, and the result is a lightweight, fully-cushioned sneaker that’s ideal for training and racing (though it’s also great for walking around a city or going for a casual jog).
To buy: On Cloudflow Running Shoe, $140; nordstrom.com
What differentiates this sneaker from the rest is a special foam cushioning element dubbed Helion, which helps your feet rebound upon impact. It’s light, responsive, and resistant to changes in temperature, so you’ll feel like you’re running on a cloud all year round.
The sole of the shoe is also ergonomically-designed to support the rolling motion of your foot for softer landings that feel natural. Even the laces were thoughtfully configured for ultimate comfort and support with the weaves covering a larger section of the sneaker and featuring an elasticated lace holder. And after testing the sneakers out for myself both indoors and outdoors—on a treadmill in an intense Precision Run class and outside in the park on my usual route—I can confidently say that these are the comfiest running shoes I’ve ever worn.

I had just changed out of my go-to ASICS running shoes when I first put on a pair of the Cloudflow sneakers, and the immediate difference in how light my feet felt was startling. It was almost like being barefoot, only with the added support and cushioning of a shoe that molded perfectly to my high arches. My skepticism of such a light and airy shoe disappeared after just a few sprints on the treadmill when I realized that they still offered all the stability and support I needed, despite the barely-there feel.
Now, these are the only sneakers I want to grab when I’m packing up my gym bag. As of this week, they’re finally available (in seven stylish colorways!) at Nordstrom—so if you’ve been thinking about upgrading your running shoes, now’s the perfect time to grab the newly-launched comfy sneaks.

The body of a 22-year-old woman was found in her bedroom in Reitspark, Welkom, on Sunday, with a note next to her body reading: “Stop assaulting inmates.”
According to police spokesperson Brigadier Motantsi Makhele, her hands were tied up and she had strangled marks around her neck.
“An open wallet with cards [and a] driver’s license was found next to her body.”
It is unclear what the motive of the killing was, but ” the police are investigating a case of murder”, Makhele said.
Anyone with information leading to the arrest of the suspect can contact Detective Warrant Officer Jerry Lenyane of Welkom detective services on 083 426 8343.
It seems the ANC is just as surprised as most people by news reports that former president Jacob Zuma had taken ill and is undergoing treatment in Cuba.
The party’s national spokesperson, Pule Mabe, told journalists on the sidelines of the last national executive committee (NEC) meeting of the year, taking place in Benoni on Sunday, the party had no knowledge of the news.
“Well, like yourselves, we’ve seen media reports that suggest the health of the former president of the ANC might be ailing. If that was to be true, we of course wish him well and a speedy recovery,” said Mabe.
According to weekly newspaper Sunday World, Zuma was in Cuba seeking treatment for an illness linked to an alleged poison plot from 2014.
This despite the National Prosecuting Authority declining in September to investigate claims of him being poisoned, saying there was no evidence such an act had taken place.
The former ANC leader and South African head of state is also said to be struggling with memory loss.
Zuma also missed a scheduled appearance at the Zondo commission of inquiry into state capture in November, claiming he was sick.
It was also reported last month he was hospitalised for a week in November for an unknown ailment.
Zuma, who often attends the ANC’s NEC meetings in his capacity as former leader, was not present.
He was also not present when the High Court in Pietermaritzburg dismissed his and French company Thales’ bid for a permanent stay of prosecution in a corruption case relating to the arms deal.
Issues of national importance
While the ANC refused to give exact details on the NEC’s agenda, Mabe said the state of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and happenings at local governments across the country would form part of the debates.
The NEC meets on the back of the national carrier SAA undergoing voluntary business rescue, Eskom struggling to keep the lights on, the ANC winning back control of the City of Johannesburg, while the Gauteng province has placed the City of Tshwane under partial administration as well as seeking legislation to tighten how coalitions run municipalities in the country.
“It’s the political overview, already given by the president of the ANC … looking at a number of topical issues of national and international interests, whether it’s the state of our SOEs and our relations with other countries, whether it’s in the region or beyond the region,” said Mabe on Sunday.
He said the NEC’s views on such matters would be communicated on Wednesday when the party shares its NEC outcomes.
Mabe added the NEC would also discuss how it managed coalitions.
“All of our members are looking at this gathering and want us to communicate the outcomes of this gathering with a level of certainty.”
A variant of a common herpes virus may play a role in the development of multiple sclerosis (MS), Swedish researchers say.
They analysed the blood of about 8 700 MS patients and a control group of more than 7 200 people without MS. They were looking for antibodies against proteins of two variants (A and B) of human herpes virus 6 (HHV-6), which has been linked with MS.
MS patients were 55% more likely to have antibodies against the HHV-6A protein than the control group.
The researchers also looked a sub-group of almost 500 people who did not have MS. The risk of developing MS more than doubled for those who’d had a HHV-6A infection. The younger they were when the virus was found in their blood, the greater their future MS risk.
The findings suggest that HHV-6A may play a role in the development of MS, according to the authors of the study published in the journal Frontiers in Immunology.
MS is an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system, causing weakness, movement problems and tremors. Its cause is unclear, but one theory is that a virus tricks the immune system to attack the body’s own tissue.
Though previous research linked HHV-6 with MS, it couldn’t distinguish between the 6A and 6B variants. Researchers in this new study were able to do that.
“This is a big breakthrough for both the MS and herpes virus research,” said study co-senior author Anna Fogdell-Hahn, an associate professor of clinical neuroscience at Karolinska Institute in Stockholm.
“For one, it supports the theory that HHV-6A could be a contributing factor to the development of MS,” Fogdell-Hahn said in an institute news release. “On top of that, we are now able, with this new method, to find out how common these two different types of HHV-6 are, something we haven’t been able to do previously.”
It’s believed that as many as 80% of children are infected with the HHV-6 virus before they’re 2 years old, and many have antibodies against it for the rest of their lives.
“Both HHV-6A and 6B can infect our brain cells, but they do it in slightly different ways. Therefore, it is now interesting to go forward and attempt to map out exactly how the viruses could affect the onset of MS,” Fogdell-Hahn said.
