I have "messy" feet (flat, narrow heel, currently nursing Morton's Neuroma in my left) and these are awesome! They handle my custom orthotic and provide plenty of arch support and comfort too. I've bought and returned a lot of shoes over the past 6 months from Zappos and these are a keeper. It's got pretty unique styling which even my teenage son approved of.

I am a surgeon and have found that I can stand all day in these and not have pain. I have plantar fasciitis and my feet don't hurt after a day wearing these. They are lightweight and comfortable. People also say they look good.

Just finished a 3 mile run in these and felt a need to give them the rating they deserve. They are incredibly comfortable and well constructed. Once bonus, that was difficult to see some the photos is the mesh constructed side panels. That made them feel great in this hot, humid NYC weather. I've tried many shoe styles and brands for running, these are definitely in my most liked list. You won't be disappointed. -Mike NYC

Got one orange and gray shoe as well as a navy and orange shoe. Had to return ASAP for Xmas—they made a mistake!

Very springy shoe. Feels great during a run or walk. It takes some getting used to at first. If you notice on the picture, the heel of the shoe is angled. Most shoes have a thick heel. This one creates an angle that causes a comfortable forward rolling motion. It's almost like you can jog or walk with less effort. Really glad I got the shoes.

I bought these for work when my employer remodeled the hospital where I work, including tiled floors. I began having significant foot and back pain, which also resulted in headaches from walking on the harder floors. After switching to the On Cloudsurfers, the pain I was experiencing disappeared completely. This is amazing considering I work 12 hour shifts and am on my feet constantly. I also receive numerous compliments from coworkers about my cool looking shoes and they want to know what brand they are and where I got them. I sport the dark/flame colored model. They seem to attract positive attention without being outlandishly bright and go with almost any color scrubs.

Very low quality interior material around interior heel. It wears down very quickly. Surprising for a Swiss-made product. I’ve bought two shoes from this company but decided to go back to Adidas shoes which last a lot longer and are made with better, more durable material. I would only buy On again if I verify that they are using reinforced and tougher materials. It’s a shame because they are very comfortable, and the style and look is very nice (when new and only for a couple of months). As a consumer, I expect better quality at this price point. And again, Swiss-made products are usually of much higher quality. The rubber sole also ripped. Wish I could have my money back.

Third pair for my husband. He wants to replace every 6 months for workout shoe. Loves this shoe. He is diabetic, this shoe has relieved some of the comfort issues and plantar fasciitis issues. Age 55, normal arches medium width foot. He just trades out for peace of mind that he has the support and not wrecking feet. Small cost for shoe when compared to ability to walk. I’m also an On shoe purchaser for me. Age 56, Female foot, high arches, medium width, main women’s size is 9, men’s 7.5, plantar fasciitis. On is the only show so far that has relieved this foot issue. I haven’t tried CloudSurfer yet, but favorite is CloudFlyer (2 pairs Black/White) Men’s 7.5 and Women’s 9. This is the only shoe that I ever put on in my life that was immediate comfort from the try on! Next fav is Cloudventure Peak. Men’s 7.5 (one Black/Rock and one White/Black). Peak needs a shoe horn to put foot into, will pull sock, there are no laces to open to help with putting foot into shoe. Comfort! This isn’t my first fave only because I need to take time to put on. White is stunning on and I’m not a white shoe person! This is listed as a trail runner, but there is no way I am wearing this beautiful white shoe in the mud! ANYBODY MUDDIED UP THIS SHOE AND CLEANED IT? HOW? Next, Cloudventure, Men’s 7.5 (Sand/Shadow) great fit, great color! Next, Cloudventure Waterproof men’s 7.5 two pairs (Fir, Black Graphit). A bit stiff at the start but I love that my feet stay warm and don’t get wet. They seem to mold to my feet with time. Cloud X, women’s 9, Black/Pearl, beautiful shoe! Isn’t the same cushion as others when I put on. (arch and padding) but I have only worn once. These shoes have been purchased over the past 2 years. Expensive, yes but they hold up! I ask for On Shoes for Xmas, birthday, Valentine’s Day etc.... people at work pitch in on Zappos cards because they know I want On shoes! Lucky to have friends and family to gift me! Again, small cost to keep walking. I am wearing all pairs throughout the year still; and don’t feel like any have broken down. I buy different On shoes so I can trade off shoes all week and my foot isn’t in the same exact shoe. I work out, but I’m a walker, weights, yoga; not a runner. Job has concrete floors, but I’m only on my feet approximately half the work day. Long review, these are fabulous shoes, worth the money! Top notch style!

My third pair of these shoes. No squeak so far with wet soles. I feel like they make the toe box a smidge narrower this time around. Fit snug which is fine but older pairs had just a bit more room across the “knuckles” of the foot. Awesome shoe though.

Great shoe company, decided to go with a different model this time to try it out and wasn't disappointed. This shoe seems to a little smaller, so you may want to go up a half. Most of my On's are 12's but this shoe made me jump to a 13.

I would say it felt a quarter of a size larger, but I like that because when I go on long runs, my feet swell. The shoe is very comfortable, and the cushion is excellent. It did not take long to break these in. They are a little bit heavier then I expected, even though it does say the weight of them.

My second pair of ONs. They are really light and comfortable. I am a 220lb guy and they have heald up to day to day and 10 miles of running a week. The spice color was a little brighter then I expected out of the box, but I’m used to it.

Really like these shoes. Some may be a bit suspicious of the treads with the holes. I've often tried shoes like this and been disappointed but these are very well constructed and strong. I am overweight and starting to run again and I find it to be a very supportive stable shoe. The lacing is pretty firm and contours very well to the foot. One thing I really like is the tongue is not too chubby and hot, so as other reviewers said the shoes breathe well.

I'm new to running, and I'm a fairly large guy (240 lbs). After a few weeks of regularly taking uneventful 2-5 mile jogs in Reebok Zig shoes, I thought I'd up the ante to 10 miles. After that, my right knee began crying out for mercy. Running with the On Cloudsurfer is like night and day. My knee pain is virtually non-existent in these shoes. The cushion feels wonderful. The cannoli-like cushions do their job well, but there are a couple of quirks. They make a slight crunching sound that some may find irritating. I also wish there was another row of cushions in the toe of the shoe, as I sprint on my toes. The thin, vinyl-like shoes strings seem durable, but are prone to coming undone unless you tie them very tightly. A drawstring would be a great improvement. Overall, though, I love these shoes. They are the only quality running shoes I could find that didn't look like a rainbow threw up all over them. Time will tell how well the cannoli cushions hold up against my weight, but so far so good.

I finally found a shoe that will protect my delicate feet! I have broken my feet numerous times while running and these shoes are so comfortable it is like running on clouds. I would have given five stars for style if they had more options in women's size 11. Overall fantastic shoe!

I am in a quandary on size rating; bought a size 10.5, have a full thumb width between toe & shoe, unlike my 10.5 Brooks, Newton, & Asics which run a little shy of the full width thumb measurement. The toe box is more rounded than my other shoes - a little more room. All in all I prefer the fit on the Cloudsurfer. The shoes are lightweight, uppers are a mesh (I can see through them); therefore, nicely vented. I am no longer a runner (I walk) due to significant spinal damage which affect my legs & feet. Shoes are super important to me as spinal stenosis has greatly reduced the amount of time I can be on feet & using my legs, therefore weight of shoe is a huge priority in terms of muscle exhaustion. These shoes fit that bill (as my other shoes do too), but more than that, and unlike the other shoes, they actually put spring in my step - I can feel the energy return. They do allow me to be on my legs & feet for a longer period of time. On first blush I thought the price was a little steep, I still kind of do on one hand, but to be able to be mobile for a little longer in my day & walk longer... By the way, arch support is pretty good, not excellent. In my opinion these shoes would be best on a neutral runner.

I have had these for a while and finally broke them out to wear now that my other pair wore out finally. They were great up until a few weeks in when they started making a squishing sound every time I take a step like they have water in them but I have not been in any water?

Was not the fit I needed. Way too small and narrow. Also the sole is thin. You will easily wear through the tread. Returned.

I really wanted to like these. They look like they would be cloud-like, but no not at all. The bottom of the shoe is hard as a rock, and even sounds like I'm walking in golf shoes. Returning.

I wanted to like these but not worth what I paid. The shoes were not a "neutral" strike support for me. After single short use, the shoes had little heel-strike stability & support. Quickly repackaged & returned.

Love these shoes. On Cloud needs to add more shoes with pre-tied laces so slip-on is easy.
