Every suburbanite, yuppie I see wears these shoes. Male or female. Doesn't matter. Are these shoes that comfortable and durable, or, are they just another brand to go along with the Patagonia jacket, LuLu lemon pants, Starbucks in hand, while the golden doodle waits impatiently in the oversized SUV sitting in the Target or Whole Foods parking lot?

ETA: In all seriousness, I'm on my feet all day. I average about 5-8 miles a day jogging, but am loyal to Asics running shoes. Are these shoes that great, though?




onclouds are lit AF. they also seem to be a fan favorite of many healthcare types who spend all day on their feet.

The Roger is best OC shoe. Looks far less ridiculous.

At a minimum of $130/pair, sounds like they don’t need to change a thing. Why would you keep buying them?



Because they're perfect for what I use them for and I haven't found an alternative I like more.

I walk miles and miles a day at work and have always stuck with asics gel-nimbus. I found a pair of OCs I liked so I decided to try them. They basically started to fall apart after about 3 weeks so I’m back to the asics.

While were at it, let's discuss these and why they cost upwards of $500

I got them for working out but they turned into my everyday shoe. We normally go to Disney annually and walk 10 miles a day. This year was my first year my feet didnt kill at the end of each day.

My wife is 22 weeks preggers and now only wears here On CLouds 24/7 due to her hips hurting if she doesnt.

Are they the new "soccer mom/dad" shoe. Sure. But are they a comfy shoe? Yes.

I have the Rodgers on my christmas list this year.

Golden Gooses are in an entirely different category of stupid than OCs.

They look like bowling shoes and my wife is convinced that they're great to wear with dresses. The shittier they are the more expensive they are. It's an amazing business model.

I’m in the market for new running shoes and have never heard of this brand. Typically loyal to Brooks but maybe I’ll give them a look

I like them a lot. I only wear them to run and workout. The mesh seemed to split pretty quickly tho.

Mostly this. Have heard and read that they are awful running shoes.

On clouds are probably the most comfortable I’ve ever worn.

They are comfortable but my running friends say they’re not the best. Kids are starting to wear them now as well. If ON was a publicly traded company I would buy many shares.

If you want a good shoe for being on your feet all day, check out New Balance 1080v10 or v11.

I see them a lot as well but to me, they're no different than every guy on the water thinking a Huk or PFG shirt is the difference between a limit and a few keepers.

I have been wanting to try On Clouds but they don't make a wide enough shoe for me. I wear a 10.5 4E so my choices are limited. After 6 pairs of New Balance 990's I tried HOKA's and they are very comfortable shoes for walking or standing all day. I do not run so I can't speak to how good of a running show it is. I do have Achilles Tendonosis and two herniated discs in my back and these HOKA's help to make staying on my feet and walking bearable.

Another shoe that is very comfortable is the Under Armour Vault 2.0. They are not the most stylish shoe but you can buy them for less than $60 at Academy or Shoe Station and they come in a 4E wide.
