This Shoes is the WORST hello "influencer" Just stop misleading people with your lies to get few dollars from this company. STOP SPREADING LIES oncloud is the worst shoes I have every wore or bought in my life they started to be squeaky after 2 months what a shame, now they will be thrown as it is so embarrassing to wear them I emailed their customer services, they told me the floor is causing it. well, no they squeak on every floor this is the worst shoes I have ever bought in my life I bought it in the UK and cost me 160£ for this price I could have bought two from my favourite comfy brand clark or ecco never again, I will never buy from this company again. wat a shame, expensive shoes for rubbish quality. my feet are hurting me, now I have an expensive shoes in the garbage bin with no use. it caused me feet pain, bruises and more! it does not provide support, and it makes your feet boiling. this shoes does not allow your feet to breath and it become smelly after few days of wearing it. never again I am so disappointed. I wish I had read the comments, I am hopeful my review will make you think twice before wasting your money.

[@st4331]

Great review. I have the old Cloud (4?) and the X. You're spot on; the Cloud is incredibly comfortable for everyday wear, walking, and traveling, and fine for breaking into a short run; a superb convenience all-round shoe. But I use the X for exercise; gym work and running. I've done 20K runs in the X without problems, and even trail runs, only picking up stones a couple of times. Both are great shoes for their design purpose. Also worth mentioning ON customer support; it must be the best in the business. There was a (repairable) fault with my first pair of Clouds, and ON sent me a voucher for a new pair.

[@thatfitfriend]

Thank you! That’s awesome - super pumped these models work well for you and I appreciate you sharing your experiences 💪

[@jonbong007]

Great review Jake - your vid title says it all - great for travel and daily wear. I used to travel regionally for work, and it's great as a carry on due to it's light weight ( I would wear my business leathers on board and have this in my carry on) - and on the ground I use it for some light gym work, short runs and every other casual activity.

[@thatfitfriend]

Thank you! Stoked you’ve enjoyed them 💪

[@robtoe2]

Have had the Cloud 5 for a couple of months. Comfortable, but there are now 2 deal-breakers for me: (1) they now squeak with each step; (2) they collect gravel. If I just walk on gravel for 15 steps the soles will get rocks stuck in them. You feel and hear it as soon as you return to pavement. Several of their shoes share this platform so I'm surprised I hadn't read about this prior.

[@thatfitfriend]

@@robtoe2 yeah, that’s an issue fer sure. That’s because most reviewers, especially big media sites, get stupid kickbacks from On so they only hype them. It’s funny when you start recognizing how every review is so overtly positive of them 😂

[@NickVetter]

I've had a pair of new balances that i wore every day for almost 3 years, and I'm still wearing them. I just got a pair of these, and im excited to test them, but I doubt they will last long.

Keep me posted. Keen for your update!

[@richbreath_]

How have they lasted for you?

[@NickVetter]

@thatfitfriend I honestly haven't worn them long enough to let my feet adjust or determine durability. They were too breathable to wear in the winter.

Hey Jake - thanks for the review! I'm using your reviews to compare OnCloud 5 and Allbirds Tree Dasher. I have a nasty case of plantar fasciitis and need a shoe primarily for commuting. (I don't need it for training. Also if either has better arch support that'd be awesome to know.) You said both were good for daily wear - which is your go to?

[@thatfitfriend]

Hey! I think the Tree Dasher will be the better pick here. I think their midsole would work better for your context and ask here 💪

[@barbarapatterson6419]

Tried on Cloud 5 and it feels fabulous. Want to wear them for a month walking in Japan, so I love the quick lacing system. But reading the comments, I am concerned about durability - do you recommend any other great travel walking shoes with quick lacing and support?

[@thatfitfriend]

They should be okay, tbh. But other options to explore include a good pair of Altras if you want more width or the on cloud x 3 that can be a tad more durable!

[@iconsult4usolutions644]

This was a very helpful video/review of this particular product in making an informed decision; I bought the sneakers and thus far they are what you described, I have to add that these are the most comfortable sneakers I have owned, next to my FJs that I use for golf…bought at Dick’s Sporting Goods 139.99 + tax

[@Ventuss95]

Hey there! I've been looking for a good shoe to wear at work (office setting) and just for casual wear. That being said... I am also looking for a shoe for my first trip to Disney in February. I've been looking heavily at these, as well as the waterproof version of these. I'm torn between the two. If you were to wear this in the rain, do your feet get wet with how breathable they are? With summer ending soon and fall/winter around the corner, I'm not sure if the breathability of the non waterproof shoes will make my feet too cold. Thoughts?

[@thatfitfriend]

Yeah, they'll get a big wet through the mesh. IMO, unless you have a heavy need for the waterproof then I'd go regular!

[@valeriepaige5826]

I wish I saw this video before ordering lol. I just bought these to wear to work because my feet and calf’s have been in so much pain from wearing my Nikes. I’m a waitress, do you think they will hold up for all the walking?

Would these be good for long walks (20,000+ steps/day) around cobblestone roads of Europe? What about for a person with lower back issues?

[@thatfitfriend]

I'd pass on them for that. Tread isn't the best on that terrain and their durability will be so so at that volume. What do you currently wear?

[@KrazyYas]

I just need to know , if I take this to school daily and run a bit like for playing tag or something will the shoes be good for that ?

[@thatfitfriend]

Eh, for tag - not the best. If you're cutting a ton and whatnot you'll likely tear up the CloudTec construction especially at the forefoot and this goes for most On shoes!

[@KrazyYas]

This is not good to hear I am supposed to get one tomorrow or today ? !

[@KrazyYas]

And sorry for asking all these questions like for a little bit of running in school to get from place to place what do you think ?

[@thatfitfriend]

@@KrazyYas it’s no worries! Don’t get me wrong, they should work for you - so you’ll likely be fine in them, but long-term you may see them break down quicker than other shoes! Worst comes to worst if you already have a pair on the way/don’t want to exchange, test them and see how they do! Keep me posted 💪

[@KrazyYas]

Ok thank you for all the help I have the shoes and these are my favourite shoes I’ve ever worn in my life

[@VolkerHelmich]

I'm 6'2" and 215. I walk about 4K per day and use the Hoka Gaviota 4 because of its stability features. I'm looking for a lighter travel shoe and was considering the Cloud 5 but after watching your review I see that it might not be stable enough for me for all day walks. What might you recommend for a lightweight, breathable, stability shoe? Primarily for travel.

[@thatfitfriend]

Based on this context, I also think the 5 would be a miss. I've been testing the Mount to Coast stability shoes and they've been solid - less bulk than HOKA. But do note, I'm a bit limited here with my picks as this isn't my exact forte of reviews!

[@VolkerHelmich]

@@thatfitfriend thx for the response 👍

[@karengazy5258]

Great review.I’ familiar with New Balance. I’m Looking for stability , arch support . I want for life style only, no training. Should I look at cloud x ( per comment on stability) or a different model?

[@thatfitfriend]

If you're looking at On Shoes, then yeah, I'd give the X/X 3 a try. You can try them on at most running stores/REI if you have any around you! Are you only considering On Shoes?

[@3of9bratski]

Hey Jake, I caddy for golf events, which ON shoe would you recommend - plantar fasciitis has been an issue for me in the past.

[@thatfitfriend]

Good question - what are you currently wearing for shoes? I want to say the On Cloud X because they're a bit more stable in nature. The 5 compresses pretty easily and I would guess you won't like how they'd start lacking support after a few months of trekking up and down hills depending on the courses you're caddying on!

Hello what do you think of these shoes compared to CLOUDGO or other models? I'm looking for a shoe that breathes the foot well and that supports my inner part of the foot that tends to give way

[@thatfitfriend]

CLOUDGO would likely give you more arch support if that's something you're after. These can collapse a bit more in that context!

[@tinyGiraffasaurus]

i know you mentioned it not being the best for people with wide feet, but is it enough f an issue to look elsewhere? my feet are slightly wider than i guess what’s considered to be standard, but i do notice my ties can feel squished in some pairs of shoes. i generally wear a 10.5(us), and would just be using these for casual walking and daily use; would these be a good choice?

[@thatfitfriend]

Eh, I would explore models that will fit your foot anatomy better especially if you plan to wear these all-day (comfort reasons). Their price is also high for having them potentially not fit your width!

Should loosen up after more use, but I also wouldn't be surprised if they were a smidge narrow. I think you'll be fine with them breaking in more as you wear them!

More, how conformable is it when it comes to the height on the front for fingers

[@thatfitfriend]

That’s the goal of the channel! Too many reviews just talking about specs and not actually using the products 🙄 In the context of UA, I have a bunch of reviews on their training shoes and a few on their running shoes. I really like the Vans UltraRange EXO, it’s comfy and has good grip (have a review on them). Plus, much better priced than the Cloud 5!

But i am wondering for more essential days off all your day standing and walking, hopefully you can get your hands on ua surge 3s or essential sportstyle UA

[@RobertOden5]

Honest question, would these be good for someone who is heavy-set weight wise, works for carmax and will just be on their feet for 8-9.5 hours a day multiple days a week with some decent amount of time walking ? Edit - I would enjoy to get your perspective on the Cloud 5 Terry shoe as well.

[@thatfitfriend]

Eh, I would prob pass on these and find something with a little more support, tbh!

[@sethroganlegend]

I was thinking of buying these for a city break to Rome where I plan to be walking a LOT , anyone think these would do the job for that ?

[@thatfitfriend]

They can work! There's a lot of variance in durability with these, though, and if you have wide feet you may find the toe box runs snug and breaks down faster. If you have narrower feet then you should be fine!

[@whit3bliss77]

Hi Jake! Just the review and comparison I was looking for. Say comfort-wise for someone who stands/walks all day with some stability issues, which of the two will you recommend? I've also seen others say that the cloud X is firmer than the cloud 5, does that mean it would be less comfortable too, if to be used all day?

[@thatfitfriend]

Awesome, stoked it helped! IMO, it's firmer than the On Cloud 5, relatively speaking, but likely would still be soft/comfortable enough for all-day wear. I rock mine for long travel days (where I only want one shoe for travel/training) for that reason and enjoy them!

[@whit3bliss77]

Whoa, I appreciate you getting back with me so soon. And my concern is clearly answered. I’ll be ordering the cloud X in my true size now. You rock Jake, thank you for helping prevent buyer’s remorse to the thousands of us who watched your reviews!

[@whit3bliss77]

By the way, am I right to assume that if you were to choose to keep just one shoe for all day wear and travel, you will choose the Cloud X versus the On cloud 5?

[@thatfitfriend]

@@whit3bliss77 welcome! Yeah, I would still probably go with the X due to its range of versatility - if I could only choose one. I do love the 5’s casual vibe and lacing system, but when the rubber hits the road it’s not going to be as useful in different contexts outside of daily wear!

[@wanderingambience799]

Hi, how is this for over pronation? I need to put inserts in for raising heel and arch support. Thanks 😊

[@thatfitfriend]

Nice! This is the “black/white” colorway 💪

[@24Mansfield]

@@thatfitfriend Thank you! Just ordered!

[@stevegarside5026]

Brilliant review!

[@thatfitfriend]

Thank you!!

[@easy368]

Do you have any reccomendation for insole replacements?

[@thatfitfriend]

SuperFeet are okay and also FP Footwear makes some really great insoles with solid shock absorption (that's the skater in me liking those!).

[@ttteslafanboi-torontorapto6785]

i wear a 14.5 mens us (yes i have big feet) so is it a good idea to go a half size up or half size down or just stay with my normal size?

[@thatfitfriend]

Half-size up would probably be a safe call!

[@nfba1508]

Do you know how these compare to ultra boosts?

[@thatfitfriend]

Softer in feel. Ultraboost give you more of a "bounce", too.

[@richardb7093]

A limited usage shoe for $140 doesnt sound like a shoe I need.. thanks for the great info.

really great review.

[@jasondraisma9515]

Are they good for working a 12 hour work day

[@thatfitfriend]

If it's indoors they're not bad. Outdoors their durability can be more variable!

[@lizl.6874]

Is it a good stability shoes?

[@thatfitfriend]

No, not great for that ask

[@zosimosanjuan1950]

Are these ok for slightly wide feet?

[@thatfitfriend]

Eh, you might feel that these snug in the toe box. What do you currently wear?

[@renatocariani4130]

i just bought it, its durable?

[@thatfitfriend]

Ehhhh. Not the best

[@Samsterdude1]

Can you recommend me shoes for walking?

[@thatfitfriend]

For sure! Do you want more or less cushion?

[@vadimchernov7577]

More cushion for walking. What's the best ?

[@thatfitfriend]

@@vadimchernov7577 I’d look into some of the Altra models, they have some really stellar shoes! The Cloud 5 is decent, but could be more durable.

@@thatfitfriend I'm always on my feet 10+ hours a day. What model would you recommend for ultimate comfort?

Great review!

Thank you!

[@Portugeemoose]

I like the socks. Do you know what brand they are??

[@thatfitfriend]

Some randoms off Amazon, I believe. I prefer Mottee & Zconia no-show socks these days!

[@JustinMilliken]

Great review, thank you! What if I like everything about this shoe but want something with a little more potential durability, but still in the ON line up? What would you recommend? Plan to use these shoes for travel where I'll be walking all day. Think Disneyland, theme parks, zoos or even 5 days seeing the sights in NYC/Manhattan.

[@thatfitfriend]

Thanks for checking it out! I’d go with the On Cloud X if you can find a pair. Cloud X 3 is okay, but it’s predecessor was stronger, imo. Keep me posted on what you go with 🤝

[@joshgill1701]

I actually bought these shoes based on what I learned from this review. They should arrive tomorrow so I don't have them yet, but I've already picked out a pile of dog shit to step in so hopefully it stays fresh until then. Thanks so much for the review.

[@thatfitfriend]

I’m so confused by this comment.

[@milostamajka55]

They are not so great. I own 2 pairs of Cloud 5, and both make disturbing noise when the road is wet after rain. It is noisy and really disturbing me. Therefore I think will change it for HOKA.

[@batistuda3084]

Is it suitable for gym training? Has anyone tried it?

Pass on them for that context!

[@TheLauren1113]

I am looking at this for a trip to Disney World and for walking around. I think these will be perfect because I am lazy to lace up shoes but need more support.

[@j0nnyvids]

Did you get them for Disney? @thelauren1113

[@D-Breezy94]

Are these training shoes exclusive

[@thatfitfriend]

These are more for daily wear. I've been rocking them most for long dog walks, errands, and I rocked them on my recent road trip. They're "meh" for training due to durability issues, IMO.

[@frankb5693]

Hey Jake, I am impressed with this model, but a bit cautious. I had two pairs of an earlier model a few years ago. I was impressed with the technology and wide range of colors, although 159.00 was a bit steep. My problem was that both pairs developed squeaks that drove me nuts! Anyway I like this new model with the speed lacing and that they seemed to have fixed sizing issues. I always loved your Barbend reviews and really value your expert opinions.

[@thatfitfriend]

Yeah, I agree - this is definitely the best On Cloud shoe to date in this shoe line! I don't think the squeak will be an issue in this model and the sizing is much better. Thank you - I appreciate that!

[@Budvb]

3:27 don’t wear them they will break quickly.. to me nice design but look as a $20 material they are built on. They are a $60 shoe at most, not worth the amount they are purchased for. Know football/ soccer she would be a better purchased.

[@thatfitfriend]

Feel you! On durability has been an issue I've run into with most of their models.
