I have now bought three pairs of this shoe. Each pair has worn out in the heel, as shown below. They have only lasted me four months, roughly 150 miles, and I only walked in them and used them for everyday wear. I would strongly advise against buying this shoe if you are looking for a reliable, lasting shoe. Your money would be better spent on a different shoe from a different company
After needing a change in footwear from the original brand that I wear, I tried a lot of shoes and finally landed on these. I am a dog walker by profession and need stable shoes that can take pavement pounding. I've had foot injuries in the past so this is important. I also have narrow feet with high arches and each foot has specific needs. These were the only shoes out of a dozen I've tried that worked. They are soft with a sock-like feeling on the feet with a very stable, firm base, so the shoe doesn't hurt the bottom of my feet but the sole also doesn't collapse in. I've tried other brands that are squishy and this ended me in an injury. I learned the hard way. These shoes have really helped me. They have a wide toe box also which is important for my Morton's neuroma. They do fit slightly larger but I still ordered my usual half size up from my foot size to accommodate my metatarsal pads and they were perfect. The padding around the ankle as well. They are a great combo of firm but soft. The sole of the shoe lands stable and even on the pavement so my foot doesn't twist or turn. This helps with my varying foot needs and keeps my hips in line. My first experience with On and it's been great.
First time buying this brand and I absolutely love them. Super comfy. I usually am standing on my feet all day and they haven't bothered me.
After decades as a runner & walker, my feet deserve this OC shoe. It comfortable from the first wear and suits my heel, arch and Achilles.
A terrific sneaker, comfortable, supportive and plenty of cushion.
These shoes run a bit big. Nice and plush but my foot moved around too much while running. Felt great when I tried them on but not for my use of treadmill and gym training. I will be going back to the ON X3.
