Certain ones they make are definitely worth it (in my opinion). I'm on my feet a lot for work and have had two pairs of them. The first pair was great and one of the best pair of shoes I've owned. Second pair is a step down in quality. They got popular fast, so not sure if they're experiencing some quality control issues.

Why are they laced like that? It looks stupid.

I’m not sure who would think On Clouds were status shoes but I did get a good laugh

They don’t come close to asics. They are somehow both super thin and super rigid. Not to mention ugly.

They’re popular in my city. Nothing against them, just not something I’d wear. Wife has two pairs, one for work and another for casual wear.

I personally think the sole design is ugly and wouldn't wear them... but to each their own

I will never buy another pair. I use them as an everyday shoe and my feet have never felt so uncomfortable. I get compliments on them all the time but can’t recommend them. Will go with another brand when these wear put.

Comfortable, but they last maybe a year or so.

The pair I bought has like a lip or something right under the very back of my heel. It’s almost comical how uncomfortable it is.

Wouldn't use them for running and they won't last a year


Wrong. I've worn them since they came out when I switched from Brooks Ravenna to the Cloudsurfer. Changed to the Cloudflow a couple years later and have never looked back. No running shoes will last a year, they're only good for about 350-400 miles before they are broken down. They last as long as any other shoe I have run in and I've been running nearly 40 years.

but they're the most comfortable shoe for walking and standing



I don't find them to be anything special as far as comfort goes, but they're perfect for running. I prefer Asics Nimbus for comfort. But that's the thing, every person is different and what works for one doesn't always work for another.

They basically look like knockoffs of the Reebok Realflex (came out like a decade ago). They were also incredibly comfortable.

Huge flexible pieces of cushiony foam as the sole of the shoe = comfortable.

Are they worth the hype?


define worth it?

Would I pay $100 for on clouds or Nike? Gimme the On Cloud.

Now I did buy a pair for running, and I went back to my Brooks running shoes very quickly.

I wear the On Cloud for everyday type wear and comfort.

Incredibly comfortable but fall apart within a few months.

Sounds like I wont be getting them. I like to buy the cheap NIKE running shoes and not worrying about it for 2-3 years

I use to always think these ugly things were a Payless type shoe until someone schooled me on how much they are.

People looking for ultimate walking/standing comfort should go buy some Nike ZoomX Invincibles on sale right now. Feel like moonshoes underfoot.

As much as nurses have to be on their feet, this is a huge recommendation in my opinion.

P.S: the other popular shoe by nurses is the shoe I recommend for comfort just over OC though - Hoka

I go to Disney every year and end up walking 10 miles a day.

Every night back in the room my feet would kill me.

This past trip is the first trip where I wore On Clouds and this is the first trip where my feet did not hurt after walking the normal 10 miles.

I understand people wanting to get exercise, but for you it just seems like torture walking that far. Lose weight or try an Uber or rental car, fatty.

Same, I go through 2-3 pair a year. But I keep buying them, they're comfortable and convenient.
