I’m on my second pair of these shoes in 8 months and both have broken down. These last pairs are the worse the shoe string holes ripped the toes are coming apart and a tear on my right shoe. Very poorly made
I really wanted to love these shoes but the quality is not there. I wear them during the work week when I walk/jog and they are very comfortable. I walk/jog about 2-4 miles a day and I have about 15 day or 30+- miles. The problem is the tread is almost gone on parts of the sole. These shoes will not last a month. At a $180 I should get more than a month’s use from them.
You can't go wrong with the OnCloud Cloudmonster 2. I had to give up running. But not comfort and great fit. These shoes are very comfortable and fit well. So, I use them for walking, working in my woodworking shop, and everyday wear. The Cloudmonster 2 offers great arch support and stability. I highly recommend these shoes. I also purchased two pair for my partner, and she can't say enough good things about their comfort and good looks. The REI staff, who assisted us at the Rancho Cucamonga store was so helpful in making our purchases. Thank you REI for hiring great and friendly staff!
I came from a long history of Brooks Ghost and these were quite a change but overall I love them. They do not have a lot of lateral support and the side fabric is thin but has held up well. I love the internal spring plate and did notice a slight increase in my pace especially when landing mid to front foot. Over all the support and roll these offer are fantastic. I have run roughly 400 miles in these over the last 6 months including a max of 5 mile stints. I started noticing support wear out around 300 miles in.
I bought this about a month ago, already put in 120+ miles in and they’re still like new (unlike other reviews suggest). Most comfortable shoe that I’ve ever owned, even though I’ve been a hardcore fan of Adidas for decades. Highly recommended. It runs wide, but not necessarily long.
I know a lot of people who love the On shoes, especially the clouds. I was wearing a Fresh Foam 1080 prior to going to these cloud monsters and the Fresh Foams were an actually a little better. The Cloud Monsters have zero water protection, I've had water shoes that keep out more water than these. I walked through some wet grass and my feet were soaked in minutes. The fit is a bit roomy but the cushion just isn't as good as my fresh foams, couples with being 30% more expensive means they just don't cut it compared to the competition.
Lots of cushioning that made my joints happier but they lack stability. Upper doesn't adjust to my foot and make it unstable when turning, also causing a weird wrinkling, Outsole started to wear out after only 30 miles. Very comfortable but not durable and lacking stability, for a high price. Had to return them.
Great shoe to wear for work. Work requires standing up and moving around all day long. Very comfortable at the end of the day without any pain on the legs. Material is good too no signs of any wear and tears yet.
I had bought two pairs of these shoes . I am diabetic, so my feet do intend to hurt . These shoes did the job .. they were so comfortable . Only reason we returned the lighter color , was , as , i was walking , my heel would slip out as if there were big for me .. the black pair i had no problem … just a fluke .. i would Highly recommend these shoes , especially if you like comfort
Was looking mainly for walking and found the best shoes I've ever owne.
