As someone who has worn these shoes before, I would also add that dirt and rocks repeatedly get stuck in the crevices and holes at the bottom of the shoe. May seem cool but is not as nice as it looks

[@BillyVisuals]

I did not think of that! interesting take, appreciate you sharing your experience

[@bikerguychris33]

One thing I love about my clouds is that dirt goes through the open channels(holes), makes getting them muddy even more fun for me 😁

I wouldn’t say that they’re generic looking. In fact it’s probably the least generic looking sneaker out there. Whether you like them or not you have to admit they’re quite unique.

[@curlyhairdudeify]

It is a generic design. Even the designer (runner) talked about how the prototype was a Nike shoe with rubber hoses as the sole. And they do look. The ones in the video like my Nike ah8141-03 Metcon from 08-28-18.

There are no other sneakers on the market that look like them.

[@snowwalker9999]

You are spot on. I’ve been wearing them for work. After a while they started becoming uncomfortable under my right arch and I have good arches. I went half a size up with an insole then it was perfect. For running and hiking they are great especially on dry non technical terrain.

[@bikerguychris33]

I absolutely love my cloud 5 waterproof's, they are the comfiest trainers (sneakers) I've ever had the pleasure of putting on my feet, and they're anything but generic looking, one thing I love about On Trainers(sneakers)is how unique and different they look from every other sneaker out there, I love the open channels in the soles too. The cloud 5 fits true to size, I'm a UK 10 and a UK 10 in the Cloud 5 fits me perfectly, I'd say go up half a size if they're a bit tight on you 👍 Just last month I walked 8-10 miles a day for two weeks in my cloud 5 waterproof and my feet never hurt once. The Cloudswift 3 runs a little small, so I have to go up half a size with that model. On trainers (sneakers) are amazing and some of my all time favourites, and that's coming from someone who is a boothead.

[@PeterListov]

How is the quality? I’m looking at On shoes now here in Switzerland, and from the looks they do not feel very sturdy. At least not what I expect from a 230 euro shoe 😅

[@bikerguychris33]

​@@PeterListov The Quality is honestly amazing in my experience 🥰 I've beaten the heck out of my On Cloud 5 Waterproof's since getting them back in March, and they've withstood it incredibly well and they're still going good and strong. I beat the heck out of my boots and sneakers and never clean them, as I prefer them dirty and well worn/beaten up, and think boots and sneakers look much better that way, and that it also gives them character too 😊. I do reluctantly protect my boots and sneakers once a year, but don't like doing as it takes away that look and character that I prefer, but I just get them dirty again the same day or the day after to restore that look I prefer. I'm actually planning on getting a pair of CloudSwift 3's next year I'm that impressed and Love my Cloud 5's that much. I definitely think On clouds are well worth the money and would highly recommend them, they're also ridiculously comfortable too, plus I love the unique midsoles with the open channels. My advice is, if you want a pair of On Cloud's, just treat yourself to a pair, you'll not regret it 😉😁

[@yuriyandreyev4842]

Got 2 pairs, would buy more, the most comfortable shoes ever

[@steph9123]

Same ! Not sure if it's the same ones as this video but I got the cloud 5 Waterproof version and wow they are the most comfortable shoes ever. Been wearing them for a year now and would buy again.

[@radicalbarrel2729]

I wear these for the hospital. Definitely not a standing shoe, way better when walking and it feels like it’s meant more for heel toe movements than actually mid foot running

[@Livingportals]

I work in the hospital as well. What Will you recommend?

[@vexystar3389]

@@Livingportalshonestly this comment here is the first negative one I read from hospital workers and I spent 3 days researching what shoes to buy now that Im starting nursing school. So I went with cloud 5 combo model that has in description that is an all day shoe. Pay attention on ordering go size up. I went only half size up they fit but I will need to either losen the shoe laces they got or change them all together with some other ones because in that are feels to tight. I do have to say as a person that has changed in 10 yrs over 50 pairs of sneakers ( yes Im that complicated and demanding) i haven’t had a pair like this yet and you do have specific feelings when walking there are cushioning bot back and front of the shoe for support

[@sjeffy5137]

It is not a running shoe. Don’t wear it as one.

[@jyotidas8874]

First of all, I do not consider this a running shoe. I have wide feet too, but this fits me very well. The best thing about the on shoes in general is their upper material and the looks. Whenever I go out for groceries or general chores, I grab this. I am on my second pair now. One of the best lifestyle shoes I have ever had.

[@raed7769]

@@jyotidas8874 how have they held up?

[@Quantum_Physics123]

Finally an honest shoe review. Most ppl lie and overhype certain shoe brands such as Hoka (overhyped but not good). So, this review was very refreshing to see.

[@macmovieman1]

I am running in this now and when I run through water it will squeak until it’s dry. Won’t be buying any new pairs and I buy a new pair of shoes every month now.

[@Damndrrtyapes]

I also bought the Cloud 5 two weeks ago just for work, and would recommend this model for people who are on their feet all day: flight attendants, cashiers and store clerks, waiters, nurses and aides, and package delivery like UPS. I don’t expect to buy another pair of shoes for 5 years minimum 👟👟

[@henninguns458]

What cloud shoe did you buy? I work at a place where i mostly stand for 8 hours so I'm curious. Did you buy the regular "Cloud 5"?, as i have seen there are different types of the cloud 5.

[@vicm6561]

They won’t last that long ! they are comfy but the quality of fabrics especially the interior at the heel is subpar.

[@sjeffy5137]

First off- You have had this shoe for two weeks. On shoes are not known for great durability, and if you’re wearing this even only a few days a week, 5 years is a fever dream. Secondly, this shoe is stiff as hell. For people on their feet all day, we usually recommend higher cushioned, softer shoes. The Cloud 5 has all the cushioning of a 2x4. What shoes have you used in the past for you to determine these as the cream of the crop for everyday workers?

[@Damndrrtyapes]

@@sjeffy5137 Before I answer any questions in this so-called interrogation, I want to know: who's asking? Did I hit a nerve with you?

[@sjeffy5137]

@@Damndrrtyapes It’s a question lol. You can answer it or not. What I think probably happened in your process of deciding this was the best shoe for you was that you looked around online for a shoe (or maybe got an On advertisement), ordered the Cloud 5’s, and found that they performed fine for you or didn’t hurt your feet. Did I get any step of that wrong?

[@yddubbud8229]

if you prefer wide, on has specific for this like the cloudflyer 4

[@just4me476]

Just bought this today for my upcoming 1-month travel in Europe. I will be doing lots of walking and city-exploring. Hopefully it will be a great experience for my feet. Btw, I'm usually a 7.5 or 8 US women size. For this one I had to go for 9!!! Never expected that!! So make sure to size up when you order them.

[@staceyclemons9128]

I bought my first pair and used them only for work. After a month I got a hole on the top at the seam of my toes where the fabric starts a week later I got a smaller hole in the same spot on the opposite shoe. Don’t think I’ll buy another pair it was a waste of money.

[@USMC-1911]

I have one pair for a couple years the bottom souls are made of crappy material they wore down quick and are very slippery the soles have come apart in 4 spots and I had to glue them this is my third pair and will be the last .

[@sjeffy5137]

Just an fyi that is probably due to your choice in sizing or just the geometry of your foot. I am not a proponent by any means of the Cloud 5, but you would likely experience the same issue in other athletic shoes. What I sometimes recommend is if you take a shoe like this to a cobbler or shoe tech, they can put a little moleskin under the patch where your toe repeatedly pushes through. Helps the durability.

[@perpetuummobile100]

I own 2 pairs of these: they are very comfortable for walking. the only con I have with them is that after a short while the sole start to screech.

[@thanaphonchittalarn1261]

Should buy the true size or plus 0.5 or 1 size ? Thanks

[@vicm6561]

Size up

[@jedilady4485]

So what is a better On shoes for comfort and safety ( from tripping sideways)??

[@poktangju]

is this the all white colorway?

[@aspunkyyacker6850]

The 3rd reason seems the opposite to me as if when running in mud the design should grip more as theres less surface area so they'd penetrate more for grip. A typical flatter soul should of similar composition, like say under armour are absolutely lethal in mud!

[@alainbrouillaud484]

So your foot isn’t a good fit… that doesn’t mean it’s a bad shoe!

[@andrewnguyen2656]

Durability is another con. Expect holes in the outsole within a few months, maybe even a few weeks

[@PeterListov]

Right. I’m choosing new training shoes right now, and these On sneakers look a bit cheap for that price. And I’m in Switzerland where these shoes are just everywhere 😅

[@c137glass4]

Negative I have a wider foot and these feel way better then the Nike 720c witch I think is way to thin in front

[@maritzacalle5907]

About this shoe I would say that the material is also not breathable. The waterproof version at least will make your feet sweat like crazy

[@sjeffy5137]

Well yeah waterproof shoes can’t have holes in them so they can’t really be breathable lol, or at least not as breathable as a non-Gore-Tex version

Which one you suggest for walking?

[@vicm6561]

I have 2 pairs of these both the on cloud 5 one waterproof & one just like these . Why I am here . I am not a runner ( unless being chased lol) I use these primarily for dog walking and everyday wear ( do yoga no shoe needed ). My first beef is the white pair yellows second is the fabric at the heel will fail which is unusual never had shoes do that. The waterproof on cloud 5 I have are not near as comfortable and therefore I hardly wear them even though same style. I also, for those wondering about sizing, normally wear 7.5-8 women’s in most shoes and I wear a 8.5 in these, so they run a tad small and my feet are narrow with high arch . Hope that helps. Right now I’m looking for new white sneakers and won’t by on cloud 5 again.

One persons opinion but we’re all individual. I’ve had plenty of uncomfortable Nike, Addidas etc trainers / sneakers over the years including over high foot arches from Nike. The On Cloud 5 I’ve had no issues with.

[@turk4082]

As someone with a narrow foot, the shoe being narrow isn't a con, it just doesn't fit you. Don't make it seem bad for everyone just because it isn't tailored for you, sounds unprofessional as an outlet of information.

[@thatbeardedguy87]

Hmm… those shoes look as if they haven’t even been worn outside yet. High quality products will generally feel snug at first because the material is tougher and needs to form to your foot. Better traction and comfort DEFINITELY comes after 1-2 days of wearing these. I love my Cloud 5s

But with hovrs, i was like, it was exactly there, like it was touching the front. And with 46 i just had barely room to be comfortable, I'd probably go for a 46.5

To each their on, I guess. Just returned from a store where I tried various HOKA, Brooks and On running shoes. For me, On felt the least comfortable of those three. Plus, I’m not convinced by their quality for that price (170-250 here in Swiss)

@@PeterListov I also tried some Hoka's on the other week out of curiosity, and absolutely hated them, they're far too springy underfoot and no energy return when walking like you get in On's either.

[@liammcmahon8881]

[@sjeffy5137]

As someone who has sold a lot of these (and gotten a lot of returns) here are the real cons: 1. This is not a running shoe. It is a walking shoe. As such, it’s relatively stiff underfoot, and lacks the cushion or support of a trainer. If you want something for running, standing, or walking, you are better off in a different model or brand. 2. Price- The cloud 5 is essentially a converse with a fancy upper and some interesting foam tooling. $140 is a lot for a walking shoe compared to the other options on the market, and the Cloud 5 is not notably exceptional in any category. ---- On has made some terrific shoes recently. The Cloud 5 is not one of them. It’s overly stiff, unresponsive, and expensive. If you want my advice, go to a running store and try on a bunch of shoes, and figure out which you like best.
