Shoes strarted squeaking loudly when walking or running in them about a month after purchasing. Contacted On customer service and they said that is not covered under warranty. For the Ben price there are much better quality shoes out there.
These shoes offer a really sleek design that in my opinion makes them great for both running and cross-training. The foam makes them feel lighter and more responsive than the Boston Marathons I wore prior to them. The traction pattern provides better grip on different surfaces, but especially on concrete. This shoe is really flexible gives me a lot support during my runs and training.
I love these shoes. Comfortable, lightweight, durable enough for the trail
Great fitting shoes. Very comfortable. I went back and bought a second pair
I bought these shoes for casual wear and light running during business trips. However, they caused pain in my forefoot while running, so I ended up using them only for walking and going out. While they were initially comfortable, they quickly began to fall apart. The heel padding ripped, and the front soles wore down rapidly. After just five months, I had to recycle them. For $150, the quality is disappointing—you can definitely find better options.
Got these shoes to use for exercise and so far they are holding up. They do however, carry a smell with them. I have to use talcum powder to help ease that so I’m not clearing out the space around me but they won’t shake it. I’m not sure if it’s a material thing but my other shoes don’t smell like these and these are my newest shoes. Outside of that, comfy to wear for walking, biking, lifting weights and everyday use. I would recommend this to a friend.
I found a great solution with the help of a wonderful sales person at REI to a running shoe for a women’s wide foot. He suggested I try a men’s shoe which was a little bit wider so I sized it down one size and it’s perfect. I am beyond excited not only about the shoes, but that someone took enough time to help me solve a problem. I walk and or run and unknown about 3 to 4 miles 6 times a week so a comfortable and well fitting trainer is critical.
I purchased the On Cloud X about two months ago. In store, they immediately caught my eye due to how attractive the shoe was. I put them on and tested them out and they felt very comfortable and super light weight! So I decided to go ahead with the purchase as I was starting to get into running. The past two months I have used them nearly everyday for walks, urban hikes, and on running trails. They were super comfortable for longer walks and going up urban hills but for running was a different story. With every running step my ankles started to hurt and didn’t feel a lot of cushion or support while on a run. I’ve ran a few times with them, thinking I just need to break them in but that was not the case as the pain kept reoccurring, even after two months of use. If you are looking for an everyday shoe that looks good, this is definitely for you. But if you are looking for a running shoe, might want to choose something else.
I’ve had these for about eight months. Mostly used them for walks and runs on the treadmill and outside. By about month five, the inside heels began to fray. I started wearing taller socks to keep it from rubbing on my heels. Even with insoles for extra cushioning and support, these weren’t very comfortable.
