The Cloudventure isn't high on support if you want a good trail running shoe whether for trail running or those attributes fit your needs try the Saloman S/Lab Ultra 3. If the price is more than you want to pay you may be able to find some 2s still in stock in your size online somewhere.

I bought them. Light and comfortable BUT if you have any bit of an Achilles, be careful. I wear the crap out of the back where it touches my Achilles and it has started to rub away the material. I likely won’t be buying again

They’re the GOAT for running to the store or walking the dog or any semi-athletic recreation.

They wear out quickly, I go through a pair in about 4 months with only moderate use and no serious running.

I'm loyal to Altra Lone Peaks for life. Best running shoes I've ever worn.

I did try on Saloman's and they just didn't fit my feet well. May have just been my really high arches.

The aesthetics are pure tball dad chic but they look much better than your average Hokas or Brooks etc.

They make dudes with wide feet look normal and not Sasquatch

They are comfortable. Serious runners don’t like them.

I have about 10 pairs

Very comfortable and great for working out

Only thing that sucks is that they can become rock and stick traps if you wear them outside.


The truth^

Seems like everyone in Dallas wears them. I just have the "pull-ons 'to walk dogs, run errands. Love them. Haven't tried the running shoes yet but will eventually.

Have a pair and they give me blisters. They slip and slide on my heel no matter sock, insole, whatever they rub a blister. Guess my heel is weird.

Went to a neighbor's house for a small cookout a couple of weekends ago and every guy there except me was wearing them, and one girl was. All in their mid to late 40's.

I was wearing Adidas Sambas like I'm 20 or something.

For the price, they just don’t hold up. They’re nice for walking around running errands, but that’s it.


I had the same experience. I run probably 20-25 miles a week and they just did not hold up well at all. Ended up getting blisters as the heels and sole wore out, then the sides busted for some reason and now they are unwearable.

They're also not very cushiony and are pretty rigid.

Well, they are only made for walking across Academy/Target/Hobby Lobby parking lots and to the sideline of youth soccer games. They also provide better accelerator grip on your Range Rover Discovery Sport.

Around the house, weekend, anything casual. You wear with no socks. Yard work. They keep your toes nice and cool. I put laces on mine. I would not run in them you will tear them up so fast. You can clean them very easily.

I loved my first pairs and I think I had like three of the same model even same color over a few years. I ran like 8 miles in them out of the box the first time I bought a pair.

Then the models changed as they do. Those made the balls of my feet burn like crazy when running.

Went back to Brooks as I’m gun shy now.


Edit: on my original pair the “thing” at the bottom cane undone and I almost tripped and busted my arse. They weren’t old. Contacted ON and they sent a replacement pair after I sent pics.
