On Cloudnova - A Six(ish) Month Later Review

[@sashimifr]

Having had 3 successive pairs (both 3 had issues around the toebox), what I can say is : The futuristic design is nice if you like this kind of stuff, you really need to like heavy cushionning, my feet felt totally unstable in these shoes. They aren't that comfortable because of the kind of inside-out design (the shoe tong being on the outside of the shoe), and they are a fiddle to put on. Also, the sole is utter rubbish like all on-running shoes. The hollow design and the middle rift pick up dirt and stones, and the material itself become REALLY slippery in wet weather. (which is kinda ironic since it's supposed to be "swiss engineered"). Be sur to check how the inside layers are stuck together at the front of the shoe ; I had issue upon issue.

Wow that sucks

[@corentin8634]

Thanks for all those info

You had to run fast in the library to catch someone? Can you elaborate more on this?

[@papazfitness]

He said he works in the library and doesn’t need to run to catch someone

Nice review

[@tannerrowlands3936]

Do you recommend sizing up? I’ve heard that the band across the toe is a little tight

[@Willisthatgoproyguy]

I do recommend going a half size up if they feel tight. They feel fine on my feet now, but I cannot remember how tight they were initially.

@@Willisthatgoproyguyis yours like narrow at first but break in?

[@Insolation1]

Are these rocker soles?

[@Willisthatgoproyguy]

Yes, they are rocker soles.

[@doylejodi7502]

They could add a tight woven netting across that opening on the bottom to eliminate rocks & other debris. :)

[@A2Kaid]

That would be stupid as the woven netting would easily tear and actually trap dirt, small rocks, and dust over time.

[@Hutsul_]

a six months later review, does that mean you've being wearing them? or they just dusted on a shelf? The sole on these shoes wears in 3 to 5 months, while yours, on the other hand, remain brand new. how come brother?

[@Willisthatgoproyguy]

These shoes are in my rotation of shoes l wear throughout the week. They look better than other shoes l own because l took care of these better than the others due to On saying they were limited editions.

[@pauld2000]

I wore mine for 7 months now. Walking 2 miles per day with my dog, within 4 months the sole had worn smooth and became quite slippery in the wet which shocked me to be honest. Then at the 6 months mark both edges of fabric have split from the sole. Seems pretty poor durability for the price however they are so very comfortable I think ill buy another pair and give them another shot

[@Hutsul_]

Paul Denwood I feel the same. there’s certain magic in these that makes you disregard durability.

@@pauld2000 my shoes were cloudnovas and I also had the fabric tear on the opposite sides of my ankle. Was wondering if anyone else had this problem.
