The white On Cloudtilt, the clean essential for your wardrobe
Thick sole, a silhouette that doesn't go unnoticed: yet the Cloudtilt can be worn with almost anything. The secret lies in one color. In white, this technical volume lightens up: the shoe keeps its running aesthetic but slips under raw denim just as easily as it does under wide-leg trousers. It’s the everyday pair, the one you grab in the morning without a second thought (and one of the major urban fashion trends).
At The Last Step, the white On Cloudtilt is for everyone. Women’s models make up the bulk of the selection, alongside men’s shoes that offer the same sense of comfort. For the CloudTec technology and the details of the sole, everything is explained on the page that brings together all On Cloudtilt shoes. Here, we're talking about white: its nuances, its care, its sizing.
The shades of white available
At On, the word white covers several very distinct shades. Here are the colors in stock, along with what truly sets these shoes apart.
Cloudtilt Pearl Ice
The brightest white in the range, pearlescent like a pearl, with an icy touch on the sole. Breathable mesh upper, sock-like effect, tone-on-tone finishes. Available in both men’s and women’s versions, it’s the safe choice when you’re unsure.
Cloudtilt Arctic Ice
A cold white, almost bluish depending on the light. Offered only in the women’s version, the Cloudtilt Arctic Ice is all about freshness: it goes well with grey, light denim, or pastel tones.
Cloudtilt Lime Ivory and Black Ivory
Here, the base shifts to ivory, a warmer off-white. The Lime Ivory adds a subtle citrus touch, for those who want a bit of color. The Black Ivory plays with contrast: it’s the right pick if you are looking for a black and white On Cloudtilt without opting for a total dark look.
Cloudtilt Moon White
The most neutral of the lot. A soft white, slightly muted, which shows dirt less than an optical white. It is found in both men’s and women’s cuts. Perfect for the office as well as the weekend.

White or ivory: what the difference means
A question that comes up often in the shop. A stark white picks up the slightest mark but remains brilliant if you stay on top of it. Ivory is more forgiving (dust blends in better) and develops a patina over time that suits it quite well.

How to care for a white On Cloudtilt
Good news: well-cared-for white shoes stay white for a long time. The Cloudtilt upper is made of mesh, a fine knit that does not like the washing machine or a stiff brush. The routine that works:
-
Remove the laces and take out the insole if it is removable.
-
Brush dry to remove dust.
-
Clean the mesh with lukewarm water using mild soap and a soft brush, dabbing rather than scrubbing. A damp sponge is enough for the outsole.
-
Let air dry, away from radiators, with paper towels inside to keep the shape of both the front and back.
Avoid on your shoes:
-
bleach, which yellows synthetic materials
-
washing machines and tumble dryers
-
stripping agents on the inserts
The real secret is speed. A fresh stain comes out in two minutes. Once embedded, it requires much more patience.
How do On Cloudtilt shoes fit
The Cloudtilt fits standard, like most On shoes. Thanks to its mesh, the sneaker hugs the foot and the quick-lacing adjusts the fit without pressure points. The advice applied in-store, identical to that on the Cloudtilt model page:
-
standard foot: your usual size
-
wide foot or between two sizes: half a size up
-
narrow foot: same as above, the lacing will do the rest
The women's case deserves a clarification. Four of our white references are W models, built on a shape that is narrower at the heel and the forefoot. A customer with a wide foot can certainly choose a men's version, and a man with a narrow foot will often find their match in a women's Cloudtilt in a smaller size. The size guide for each product page provides the exact conversion, and our customer service is there to help based on your preferences.
Cloudtilt or Cloud 5: which one to choose
This is the question we are asked most often about the Swiss brand On Running. Both shoes share CloudTec technology, but not the same use: the On Cloud 5 is barely felt on the foot, while the Cloudtilt provides more cushioning and is meant to be noticed. It all depends on your needs.
