Are On-Cloud Shoes Worth the Investment?

Question

Considering their price tag, are On-Cloud shoes worth the money?

Answer 1

In evaluating On-Cloud shoes and trying to determine if they are worth the price, one important factor comes up first which is the customer’s preferences. The shoes are claimed to be comfortable and of good quality and have a ‘cloud’ feeling resulting to some users thinking that it is worth the unreasonable price. The gains, however, do not seem to be the same across the board as are the costs of getting these gains.

Was going to try and get some On Clouds many months back but have been hearing complaints about their foams bottoming out quickly and durability issues with their uppers, so went instead and got me Hokas.
Do think nowadays especially after On released the Cloud Monster 2 they're getting better and have been seeing a lot of them lately. Still have to pick up and try a pair. Cloud Surfer might be the one I'd pick.

I bouth a Clipse Cloud pair, and unfortunately I'm totally disappointed. I feel paint using this for a walk, I have used it just 1 days and I feel really bad after expending 200 dollars.

I don't know whats the issue, the only that I can think of is that these said to be for running, but it doesn't makes sense for me. However I can't return because they say it should be new, and obviously after 1 walk the shoe sole is not new.

Just make sure you are comfortable before spending this amount!

Great review.
I've never accepted the idea of wearing running shoes for the everyday activities. I started noticing the specific details of running shoes as I fell in love with the sport over the years. I saw the hype around these shoes in my country starting around 2 years ago. Personally, I believe this wave of ON shoes everywhere (even worn by people who don't do sports) has to do with consumerism and not the shoes themself.
Are ON shoes worth buying for the solo purpose of running?

I just ordered Cloud Flyers and will see. I have worn Mizuno WaveRider for over 10 years and they are as expensive as ON but do not last. They flatten out really quick even for me and I walk daily but cant run now. I got last season version of the Flyers so was under $100 with free shipping.   I am wondering how long the cushion lasts - that will be the deal sealer for me

do they last though? Heard that the durability isn't good. For the price, I'd expect close to the level of warranty and customer support as Nike, New Balance, Asics, or Brooks.
