Wow! What a comfortable ride! I’m an occasional runner/jogger due to a torn meniscus and arthritis in my knee. Running without pain was considered impossible to me...well...today I put on my cloudsurfers and went out to test them. Ran a mile in the road. Wowowow no knee pain! They are light and bouncy. I cant wait to test them out on the track! I think I just found a new favorite brand for runners!

Since I found these shoes about 7-8 years ago, they are the #1 walking and running shoe in my closet. I have them in several colors. They wear better over time than any other Asics, Saucony or Nike shoe I've ever warn. As a long-time distance runner and hiker, I feel as if these shoes are the answer to comfort and reliability and support--all in one shoe! I now have a torn meniscus in my right knee that needs particularly good support and these shoes accommodate that need as well. Have bought and recommended these ON shoes to countless family members and friends and they are all hooked! Run don't walk to get yours!

Where have you been all my life? :). This is my 3rd style of On Cloud running shoes and by far my FAVE....just the right amount of cushion and support without being too much. Super comfy from my first run in them which was a 14 miler and still felt GREAT!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE them and highly recommend if you do much outdoor running!

The best running shoes I’ve had in years - I’m actually more motivated to work out because they’re so comfortable. My only complaint is that the first few times I wore them on wet pavement they were slippery. Over time this issue seems to have lessened, but it’s something to be aware of.

This is my 2nd pair of Cloudsurfers and I can't recommend them enough. As I have gotten older, I have had little nagging foot pain due to high arches, plantar fasciitis, stress fractures. The Cloudsurfers provide comfortable support, and the design has helped with foot alignment and gait so that I am pain free. Bonus: the shoes come in fun colors and are flattering.

This has been, by far, the best sneaker I have ever worn. I'm a light jogger (walk/run a couple of miles 5 day per week), with feet and knee problems - torn meniscus in one leg and a torn ligament on one other foot so no arch. I also used this shoe to walk for hours at amusement parks with no issues whatsoever. I love this shoe! This is why I am so disappointed that my size has been out of stock for a while. I tried the glow/glacier color and they are a bright neon in person so I just couldn't do it. I tried the Cloudflow but it is NOT the same. While a comfortable shoe once broken in, I did get blisters on the heal and I was missing the extra arch support that you get in the Cloudsurfer. PLEASE restock!

Love these..the orange is very bright and blends well with the grey. This is my second pair of CloudSurfers and I love the new design. Can't wait to run in them.

I love these shoes!! Full disclosure: I am not a runner because at age 65 after years of athletic abuse my knees are arthritic. I have extremely high arches and thus I use an Aetrex orthotic insole for extra arch support and cushioning to protect my knees. I use Cloudsurfers for my daily 90-120 minute workouts that include 60 minutes on an elliptical trainer, 30 minutes on a recumbent bike and 20-30 minutes of resistance training. I also use them on travel for hours of sightseeing. They are extremely lightweight and my feet stay cool even on hot sidewalks during the summer. My left foot is a half size larger than my right and I wear an 8.5 in most shoes. I initially tried a size 9, but it was too big. Because the size 8 M fits my larger foot well, I've been very comfy in the same pair for almost a year of daily use. The heel padding is starting to wear out (helped ever so little by a puppy one week) so I'm about to buy my 2nd pair. They machine wash very well and come out looking new-a good thing as last December and January I wore them to walk all over Buenos Aires, the Argentine and Chilean Patagonia, Valparaiso and Santiago (with a healing broken foot) and they collected lots of dust and dirt. I I read some Zappos reviews noting problems with tread loops that broke soon after use. I did not experience this, but the most outdoor wear and tear they received was 5-6 miles a day sightseeing, usually on pavement or hard packed dirt. Running off road with Cloudsurfers might be hazardous because the tread loops pick up sticks and other debris. On has an off-road version of this shoe that I tried on, but I did not find it is as well cushioned as the Cloudsurfer.

Just ordered my second pair in another color. These were comfortable right out of the box. I've worn them with zero problems. I work in the medical profession and I am on my feet all day. I have problem feet, bunions and multiple foot surgeries for other problems. These have no painful pressure spots and I can definitely recommend them. Saucily was the only other brand I ever could wear but I will add this to the list.

Love these shoes! I was trying to decide which type of Ons would work best for me and glad I went with the cloudsurfer. Very light but has support that I need. I have trouble with my ankle and my peroneal tendon with certain shoes but these have been great. So comfortable!

I love these shoes. Paired with orthotics, I can walk much longer and not be sore that day or the next.

These are the best fitting walking shoes I have purchased, and the most comfortable. The only thing I don't like, as someone else said, is that the to tongue comes up too high to wear low cut socks.

I'll start off by saying that I'm a CrossFitter and not a runner, per se. I do some sprint work but nothing that would justify a dedicated pair of running shoes. Regardless, I was intrigued by On's minimalist design combined with their unique approach to cushion. It seems to be the best of both worlds. I also love the aesthetic of this particular model so I bought them to try out for work. I'm an RN and needless to say spend a lot of time on my feet for 12+ hr shifts. These are seriously fantastic. Cute, super light, comfortable, promote foot strength but also provide cushion, and my feet never feel fatigued after work.

I was a diehard Brooks fan, but frustrated with a recent update they did to my preferred running shoe. I read numerous reviews and decided to give the Swiss company On a try. I loved them right out of the box! After a few months I even bought a second pair anticipating to be over the mileage on the first pair before my next half marathon. Then, to my dismay, at about 76 miles achieved the rear cloud-pillow is cracked from the inside. I contacted On, showed pictures of the damage & they are sending a new pair. They stand behind there shoes. I really like running in them. If I can't make it past the hundred mile mark before the shoes bust, I will update again.

These shoes are amazing! I have plantar fasciitis and these shoes have made a big difference on how I feel after I run. The impact upon landing is minimized by the "clouds" on the sole of the shoe. I'm a nurse and I'm looking at buying another pair to wear at work.

I received these as a gift from my husband. I’m a true 8.5 and the 8.5 in the Cloudsurfer 6 ran small. Also the tongue goes so high that it rubbed my ankle…not sure why they designed it that way. I’m returning for a 9 in hopes that’s the only bigger size I’ll need. I’m also hoping that the rubbing of the tongue issue will be corrected with the larger size. If not, I’ll be returning all together.

In my humble opinion these run small. I wear a 6.5-7. I ordered a 7.5 and I probably need an 8 but I’m going to live with the 7.5 bc I’m sure it will eventually stretch a bit and be fine.

The tongue is offset and attached on one side, sort of a cute design. But the top of the tongue is high, hitting the ankle. Also, the toe box is a bit too low. There's no room between the top of the toes and the inside of the shoe. Just not comfortable for me.

I loved the color but I usually wear a 10 and had to get a 10.5. They didn't have that size so I ordered a different color.

The shoe was very soft as far as cushioning, but felt a tiny bit too small. Very good looking.

I just started running but waited a few weeks to figure out if I could commit to doing the C25K program before investing in a new pair of running shoes. I ended up deciding on this particular On Cloud model based on the rave reviews here, and like others, I've been able to tell a big improvement in how my knees feel after running since switching to these shoes. The only thing is that I think they run a half size too small. I usually wear a 6 and had to get the 6.5 because my toes were hitting against the front on the 6. I also wish there were other color options: I'm not a pink/purple type of gal and bought the glacier (grey) color, but I imagine they'll get dirty soon!

I am a 7.5 or 8 and ordered the 7.5. It was much too small, and the style I wanted wasn’t in stock in the 8 so back these went.
