On Running Just Marked Down 12 Best-selling Styles in an Early Fourth of July Sale—Save Up to 40% Right Now
As someone who's spent a majority of her career writing about health and fitness, I know a thing or two about what makes a good sneaker. It all comes down to design, which is something On has mastered. From their cushiony midsoles to grippy outsoles, all On sneakers are built to be supportive and stable, and more importantly, to feel comfortable. They quite literally do make you feel like you're walking on a cloud, which makes them ideal for long travel days or trips where you'll be getting a lot of movement in. Some On shoes can be quite a splurge, though, which is why we're excited about On's early Fourth of July sale where you can grab some of the brand's bestsellers for up to 40 percent off. From hiking shoes to walking shoes, there are a ton of discounts on top-rated styles across Zappos, REI, and the sneaker brand's website. If you're looking for comfy sneakers that won't clash with your trip 'fits, I've got you covered. Here are the 12 best On shoe deals right now. $170 $128 at Zappos $170 $135 at If you love a bouncy shoe, you'll be a fan of the Cloudmonster's forward-rolling sole. The sneaker is one of On's most cushioned shoes, and is designed with a rocker shape that delivers energy return with each step (a springiness that lets you go longer before feeling fatigued while running). Despite its thick, cushioned sole, the sneaker is light and breathable with a soft sockliner that makes it comfy to wear on daily runs or long travel days. The Cloudmonster is a solid shoe, whether you prefer running slow or fast, since its proprietary CloudTec cushioning helps propel you forward with each step. $160 $120 at REI $160 $110 at Designed with a similar cushioned design as the Cloudmonster, but made for the trails, the Cloudsurfer Trail can handle all the terrain you'll be encountering on your next adventure. Its grippy sole offers traction and durability on both wet and dry surfaces, allowing you to run with more confidence, even during rainy weather. The sneaker's 'Helion' superfoam midsole also delivers shock absorption, keeping your feet comfortable through the duration of your run. Its flexible, soft-mesh upper also makes it a breathable and lightweight option that helps keep your feet in a natural path of motion (it won't feel like you're dragging your feet towards their next step). $160 $120 at Zappos $160 $110 at Perfect for running through the terminal to catch your next flight, On's Cloudnova 2 delivers a smooth ride, thanks to its wide middle bootie and stable heel pillow. These allow the sneaker to feel comfortable for longer periods of time, and help you move faster, too. The shoe never feels too stiff, either. That's because it's designed with On's Speedboard, a supportive and flexible plate in the midsole that delivers energy return and better speed. Right now, these sneakers are at the lowest price they've been in 30 days. One of On's bestsellers, the Cloudstratus 3, is more cushiony and comfortable than its predecessors. A great option for walking tours or trips where you'll be racking up your steps, its foam midsole allows for plush landings, and its collar and tongue design provide all-day comfort. The sneakers are also made with a rubber outsole that allows the shoe to remain grippy on all surfaces, a plus if you're traversing through shiny museum floors or wet city streets. Currently down 40 percent, this is one of the best deals on this list. If you never skip a training day, even while traveling, the On Cloudpulse is a great sneaker to pack along with your other trip essentials. It's designed with a Speedboard that's thick in the middle and thinner in the front. This keeps the shoe flexible but supportive enough to offer stability during HIIT workouts and circuit training. Its sweat-wicking mesh upper keeps airflow going, so your feet don't overheat during tough workouts. Even better, despite being so supportive, the shoe is a lightweight option perfect for cardio and sprints, too. Designed with a sleeker silhouette than some of On's other shoes, the Cloud X 4 AD is a great option for pairing with your casual vacation outfits, including those cute summer dresses, but you can take them to the gym, too. The sneaker's star-shaped lacing keeps it secure on your feet, and its roomy toe box and breathable mesh upper keep it comfy and dry all day. The white colorway option can make a great addition to your arsenal of white sneakers. Whether you're training for your next race or plan on running to make tight connections, the Cloudsurfer Next can help get you there faster. The lightweight and cushioned shoe is designed with a rocker shape silhouette that propels you forward with less effort. Its flexible midsole collapses with every step, making for smooth heel-to-toe transitions. You'll also love that the shoe provides great traction. The rubber pads on its outsole makes the sneaker super grippy no matter how fast you're moving. The Cloudsurfer Next is also at the lowest price it's been in 30 days. $170 $127 at REI $170 $100 at Made to tackle moderate terrain and perfect for long walks, the On Cloudhorizon shoe is designed with a pillowy, plush feel that makes it comfy for extended wear. The sneakers are made with On's CloudTec Phase, which reduces foot fatigue by making weight transfer from heel to toe a lot smoother. Its Missiongrip rubber outsole can also handle wet and dry surfaces, so that you feel secure even in wet weather. Best of all, the shoe is both supportive and durable, so its construction remains intact no matter how often you pack it. Designed for walking, On's Cloudtilt sneaker is the perfect everyday walking shoe. It's designed with an elastic lacing system, which allows you to simply slip these on, though you can toy around with the laces to get a tighter fit, if needed. The shoe's ultra-cushioned midsole prevents hard landings and makes energy return a priority, keeping foot fatigue at bay for longer. It's the perfect shoe for city adventures or long days on your feet. The Cloudswift 3 is designed to be comfy on an array of foot shapes. Its forward-rolling design delivers energy return to make it easier to move forward. Though cushioned, this shoe is a little stiffer than other options on the list, but it provides a comfortable and secure fit. Its stiffer fit makes it a lot more stable, though, so it's a great everyday choice for those looking for a more supportive shoe. You can wear this one on your runs, too, since the rocker-shaped forefront can help you move faster. If you're looking for a shoe that can do it all, the On Cloudpulse is your perfect fit. Just like the men's option, the women's Cloudpulse is a light and bouncy shoe that'll keep your feet supported through everything from walking to weightlifting. It's made with a reinforced mesh upper that gives the shoe structure and stability, while keeping it breathable. Plus, at least 20 percent of the shoe is made from recycled material, so this shoe gets a few bonus points for keeping sustainability in mind, too. While the On The Roger Advantage 1 shoes are technically made for tennis, the tenniscore fashion trend is still a thing, making this pair a stylish choice whether you plan on playing a match or not. They're made with thick soles and repositioned grooves that make the shoe flexible, meaning they bend along with your feet. The forefront of the shoe is also made with extra cushioning to keep it comfortable on long walks and beyond. Its polished look will make it a good complement to your vacation wardrobe.

Katherine LaNasa was always cast in 'sexual' roles. She's happy to ditch makeup on 'The Pitt.'
As a teen ballet dancer turned actress with a list of credits (including Two and a Half Men and Big Love) as long as her arm, Katherine LaNasa has spent most of her life in the spotlight. But starring as emergency-room nurse Dana on the hit HBO Max medical drama The Pitt has launched the 58-year-old into a new level of fame. It's coming just at the right time, she says. 'I saw an [article] yesterday on GQ about these men that are finding success in their 50s — like Pedro Pascal, Colman Domingo and Walt Goggins — and how they already have a well-established self-identity,' LaNasa tells me during our conversation for Yahoo Life's Unapologetically series. 'It's really nice to feel really settled in myself and to have done what I do with very relatively little praise. So getting praise now, it's a nice ride. You see kids get that, and they start thinking they need to adopt some other jaded or cool persona. I already am my grown-up cool/uncool self. This is just career stability and nicer accommodations and clothing.' LaNasa has a lot of self-acceptance when it comes to the subject of aging, and her confidence is infectious. 'I was walking on the street in Atlanta, and [this guy said], 'Your dog almost walked into my dog,'' she recalls. 'I was like, 'Were you inconvenienced?' And he goes, 'You look old.' I said, 'I am old!' [But] I feel like I'm in really good shape; I feel really strong.' Having an 11-year-old daughter, with her husband, '90s heartthrob Grant Show of Melrose Place fame, also keeps her young. But motherhood is hardly a new experience; LaNasa was in her early 20s when she and then-husband Dennis Hopper (30 years her senior) welcomed their son Henry, who is now in his 30s. What has LaNasa learned from her relationships, and why is she happy to let go of playing sexual characters? Here's what she told me during our candid conversation on aging, catcalling and not wearing makeup on TV. I'd always wanted to work for [The Pitt executive producer] John Wells, and I thought, If I could get in front of [casting], if they ever see my tape, I have a feeling I know what they want. And it just worked out. [As for] the success — it's kind of like if you loved making coffee, and you made coffee for someone every day, and you put a beautiful heart on it or different designs every day, and you did that for 30 years or so, and that was your job, and you got paid well, and you liked [it], and then, one day someone looked at you and said, "This is such great coffee. I really love your coffee." That's kind of what it feels like. Getting approval and praise I didn't think was ever coming my way — that I wasn't looking for and I didn't really need — is all just a bonus, and it feels like a nice warm bath. It's very enjoyable. I always played such sexual characters, and I think I always identified myself so much with my sexuality. I thought that if I became less sexually desirable as I got older or if I felt less interested in sex, I would lose a big part of my identity, and it would be terrible. And I find that I just really don't care. You know, this thing about older women being invisible? I'll take a step back. I used to get catcalled all the time, and it's a relief, and it's nice [to not have to deal with that anymore]. I also think [now is] a time in life — if you can let go of this feminine ideal of our physical beauty — it's really a time in life for deeper things, to think about the meaning of your life, to think about your own mortality, to think about what kind of legacy you want to leave and who you are. I really appreciate this season of life. I also appreciate feeling really seasoned in my craft. So often that's the thing I like the most about a day. It's like, 'I really knew how to make that scene work. I knew how to get the guest star to speed up with me. And then I stopped for the camera just so, and I can handle a lot of camera moves, choreography, notes at once, and it feels really easy.' There's a lot of technical aspects about acting that people don't think about, and it's nice to feel at a certain point that you have some mastery over them. I think we are flipping the script on that. I have to say, I think there've been some really incredible, brave women out there that have always portrayed real women — you know, the Allison Janneys and the Patricia Arquettes. And then you get these sex symbols like Pamela Anderson going [on the red carpet] with like almost no makeup. John Wells is a maverick at putting real, complex, imperfect-looking women on television and celebrating them, way before it was cool. So to work for him, it just really feels like I'm getting to step into that. I have to tell you: To play a part like Dana and to wear no makeup, it was really very freeing. It's also really freeing working for a mostly female writing crew. Feeling like I don't have to live up to that ridiculous, feminine, sexual ideal has freed up my acting. And I think it's why the acting's good on the show. Women can feel like they can just relax into being themselves. Yeah, I love clothes and style in general. I used to have an interior design business, and I'm sort of an amateur interior designer now. I'm very visual. I also love ceramics. I feel like I'm in really good shape. Like, I feel really strong. I do yoga every day. I like mixing the hot yoga with the regular yoga. I play a little tiny bit of pickleball. I hike. I really appreciate that my body is still really strong — [something] you take for granted when you're young. I'm glad I can still do all this. The one thing that was really hard was [the doctors] wanting to give me a C-section right away. They wanted to plan a C-section. Because of my age, they were worried. I grew up in a family of doctors, so I'm used to just listening to the doctor. But I wanted to push back a lot. I didn't want to incise my body if I didn't have to. If I had needed one, I definitely would have, but I didn't want to plan for it months early just because I was 47. I had some kind of pre-preeclampsia signs. I went in for some testing, and they kept me in the hospital, and they induced labor with Pitocin. But then I didn't want to have an epidural, because I didn't want to slow [labor] down. I was worried about too many drugs. So I had a natural childbirth on Pitocin, and I don't recommend it. It was super hard. I feel really powerful because I got through that, but it was really, really intense. [And] I fortunately got a doctor who helped me advocate for what I wanted. Don't get married at 22! I think if you marry someone that is so far apart in age, at least for me, there wasn't a lot of intimacy in that. It's nice to have someone that you can grow with — more of a friend as opposed to them being the successful teacher one, and you being the student, less successful, more dependent one. I would opt now for a relationship with more equality. The thing we have between us really is our craft. He wants to audition for a musical, so I'm gonna help him with the choreography. I've helped him with the choreography before when he had to dance on Dynasty. He helps me with all my self-tapes. We have a very artistic home. We're always singing, or he plays the piano, and it's a very creative space. That's the thing I like most. We have the same aesthetic; we like the same things. We move a lot, and he really trusts how I'm going to put together a home. [Despite] my longevity in the business and what I've done and the people that I've worked with already, like Billy Bob Thornton and Will Ferrell and Jay Roach, I never really got that kind of name recognition. I'm hoping that The Pitt will sort of catapult me into getting to work with some more artists that I really want to work with. Slow down, trust your instincts, and say what you mean — [but] don't say it mean. I [also] wish I appreciated that my skin wasn't wrinkly. To all the 30-year-olds out there, wear all the crop tops, wear all the short shorts. Love yourself. Love your body. Enjoy your body. This conversation has been edited for length and clarity.

Between Elgin and Sleepy Hollow, Fourth of July fun goes all weekend
There can be no complaints that there's nothing to do this Fourth of July weekend given the full slate of activities planned by the city of Elgin and the Sleepy Hollow Service Club. Elgin's celebration gets underway at 9 a.m. Friday with the city's traditional parade, featuring 90 floats, marching bands, dance troupes and other participants working their way through the streets of downtown. This year's parade grand marshal is the Elgin Symphony Orchestra. The two-hour procession steps off at Douglas and Slade avenues, and follows a route south down North Grove Avenue to its end at Grove and Division Street, near the Elgin City Hall. Simultaneously, Elgin's pet parade will be stepping off from the NorthEast Neighborhood Association's Butterfly Garden near the intersection of Douglas Avenue and Ann Street. Participants will end up on the same route as the main parade, officials said. Following the pageant, festivities resume in the afternoon at Festival Park, 132 S. Grove Ave., where there will be food trucks, children's activities, games and live music. The onstage concert lineup starts at 5 p.m. with old school R&B act The Moods taking the stage, followed by Ritchie Valens tribute act The LaBamba Show at 6:30 p.m. and Shawn Klush's 'The Ultimate Elvis Experience' at 8 p.m. Between 7:30 and 8 p.m., there will be a pie-eating contest. Elgin's big fireworks show is scheduled to begin about 9:20 p.m. and will last 15 to 20 minutes. 'Each year there are between 8,000 and 10,000 people watching the Fourth of July parade,' said Amanda Harris, the city's director of arts and cultural events. 'The Fourth of July celebration in the park brings between 12,000 to 15,000 people, with a few thousand more watching the fireworks across the Fox River on the west side.' While the park activities are free, there's also an option to pay for a $25 ticket to get access to a VIP Lounge Area set up in Festival Park. It includes a bar, lawn seating, restrooms and an elevated viewing deck with umbrellas, ambient lighting, and great views of the stage and fireworks. Tickets are required for anyone 12 or older. Each paying adult can bring in two children under the age of 12 for free. Chairs are not provided, so guests will need to bring their own seating. The VIP area will be open from 5 to 10 p.m. To purchase tickets, go to Both events will require street closures and some parking restrictions so attendees are encourage to leave extra time to get around. There will be plenty of places to park; a map of downtown parking is available at The fun is not limited to just Elgin. The Sleepy Hollow Service Club will be holding its annual Fourth of July fest from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday in Sabatino Park, 1 Thorobred Lane. Club Vice President John Florance said they've been hosting Independence Day events and fireworks pretty much from its inception back in 1973. This year things get underway at 8 a.m. with a 1-mile fun run starting at Sleepy Hollow Elementary School, followed at 9 a.m. by the Bob Zdenek Memorial Fishing Derby at Lake Sharon, according to the village's website. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., there will be a free car show. People who want to enter a vehicle will pay a $15 fee, with proceeds going to the Illinois Special Olympics. Food and beverage stands open at 10:30 a.m., just before the Bill Ritchie Memorial Parade steps off at 11:30. A fire truck from the Sleepy Hollow Fire Department leads the show, followed by floats, tractors, children on bikes and skateboards, and other participants. Entertainment is available from noon to 4 p.m., with live music from pop and rock cover band The Lennys and kid-friendly games open from 1 to 3 p.m. The club also stages a pie-eating contest, a tradition that started one year when there were a lot of pies left over from a bake sale, Florance said. The competition begins at 2:30 p.m. 'It's like watching World Wrestling (Entertainment),' Florance said. 'I shouldn't like it, but I do.' The day will wind down with the pulling of winning raffle tickets, he said. Sunday night is when the service club stages the village's fireworks display at Sabatino Park. Parking costs $20 and opens at 7 p.m. for a lower-to-the-ground display that starts about 9:30 p.m. and lasts 22 to 25 minutes. The per-car fee helps offset the cost of the fireworks, Florance said. Holding the show on a Sunday night is more affordable and easier to schedule given that most towns are wanting to hold their displays on July 4 or 5, he said. Plus, they won't be competing with bigger shows in other towns, Florance said. The timing also helps because club members are working all day on the Friday events and this provides a break in between activities, he said. The club holds fundraisers to make sure they have enough money for the Fourth of July fest and fireworks and its annual Halloween in the Hallow event, which always culminates with a ride by the village's 'Headless Horseman,' he said.
