I bought these shoes because I enjoyed the pair I bought the prior year. They are very lightweight and comfortable. Interestingly, I had to buy a half-size larger this year. They also felt a little more narrow, but that might be that I've widened the earlier pair. I liked the tighter width.I find that bark chips gets stuck in the tread, so I need to check them before entering the house (I walk in the bark chips in my yard). My prior (2022) shoes have not worn out yet. I bought the paid just in case, or for when I need to replace the prior.

I always have issue with regular shoes squishing my toes. My foot size is 8.5 E and I typically order a size 9D for regular shoes. I have a couple of On shoes which I sized up to 9.5 but for this model size 9 suffice.Have worn this shoe for about a month now with about 50k in mileage and my feet absolutely love them. Couple of people don't like the firm feel but for me it's firm in the right places. Might buy another one next season

I’ve worn these shoes pretty much daily for the last two months since I purchased them. Disclaimer - I am not a runner and bought this shoes more as cross trainers, as I’m very active in the gym, outside, etc. They’re extremely comfortable, lightweight, and fashion forward; however, the shoes have some major flaws that don’t exactly make them the most practical as a “lifestyle” shoe. The main issue is the tread. EVERYTHING will get stuck in those little holes and cracks in the tread! Including gravel, rocks, dirt, mud, you name it. If you have dogs and regular wear these shoes in your yard, forget about it. I’ve stepped in dog doo multiple times on accident and these shoes are a nightmare to clean - even if you were to step in mud while you were actually running, ... MoreI’ve worn these shoes pretty much daily for the last two months since I purchased them.

You will never be able to get all of the crud out of the little holes and crevices in the tread, making them honestly pretty gross and unsanitary to think about wearing anywhere else, especially in a house. I’m only saying this because I’ve practically performed surgery trying to get the crud out of the tread on these shoes. I’ve bought special brushes from hardware store that you’d normally use for grout and old knives I don’t mind ruining to scrape them out. Chopsticks from takeout food also work well to push mud/crud out of the little holes on the tread. I’ve run these shoes though the washer, hosed them down multiple times, and they still are far from immune from getting filthy hours later. None of this information might be relevant to others, but honestly - it’s something I wish I had considered before I put down the money to buy them and one of my considerations for possibly returning them. Comfort wise, I have no complaints but I have a few doubts as to whether or not that would hold up for long term wearing.

I've been wearing these shoes for 8 months and they're my favorite. I officially made the switch from Brooks to On Running forever. I have a history of a stress fracture and Morton's neuroma on my right foot and these shoes have never hurt my feet. I don't even use my orthotic insoles anymore. When I work at the hospital, I wear them with compression socks and my feet can't even tell I worked 12 hours. I like a little bit of extra wiggle room so I bought 0.5 size up, normally I am a size 6. I weigh 118 lbs. and I'm 5'2" for reference.
I feel like I am a snob when it comes to running shoes. I know my stuff. Grew up with Nike. Asics had more support for my feet. Tried HOKA's and no support. I saw this CLOUDFLOW shoe in the lighter colorful combinations and heard the cloud! Bought my first pair and getting my second. These shoes are great for running or walking. I have run my whole life and in my 50's now! These are worth every penny!!!
First of all, I love the look of this pair of shoes, the clouds on the soles are so cute. The rock/rose color combo is also super pretty. Unfortunately, this pair of shoes did not work for me. The first time I ran in them, I thought "Wow, this is so lightweight!" and I was in love. Then after the second mile in, the balls of my feet started becoming numb, which hasn't happened to me when I wear my other running sneakers (Nike Free, Winflo, Adidas Ultraboost 19, etc.). I thought it was just due to my feet not being used to them. After my run, the feeling started to return to my feet. The next day, ran with this pair of shoes again and then same thing happened again. Tried them for a total of a week and same thing. I can feel the out-soles' indent of the cloud ... MoreFirst of all, I love the look of this pair of shoes, the clouds on the soles are so cute. The rock/rose color combo is also super pretty.

The next day, ran with this pair of shoes again and then same thing happened again. Tried them for a total of a week and same thing. I can feel the out-soles' indent of the cloud cut-outs while running. I think the insoles are just too thin but if I were to replace the insoles, I don't see the point of keeping this pair of shoes. There's simply no support or cushioning between the outsoles and the insoles part.I decided to give this another chance and wore them to work instead of using them as my running shoes. I work in a office so I was sitting mostly and also stood up throughout the day since I have a standup desk as well. Did some walking around the office. By 3PM (9AM - 5PM job), the balls of my feet started feeling numb, AGAIN. So no, I can't even use these as my walking shoes. Bye cute shoes, I'll have to unfortunately return these.
I've worn this shoe for the past 3 years- I was so happy that the fit didn't change with the redesign. They are THE most comfortable shoe I own. I have arthritis in both my feet from broken bones and it has always been hard to find that right balance of firm support and cushy comfort, and these hit the mark. I wear them to work out in, hike, walk, and work in. I'm on my feet all day, every day, and until I bought these I didn't realize how much of my hip and knee pain was from the wrong shoes (I'm 29 but have had a lot of sports injuries).My only complaint is that they wear out relatively quickly. Granted I wear them every day, but I do have 3 pairs I rotate through so I'm not wearing the same pair day after day. That said, I still have to buy a new pair every 4 ... MoreI've worn this shoe for the past 3 years- I was so happy that the fit didn't change with the redesign.

That said, I still have to buy a new pair every 4 months and the cost really adds up. I still give them 5 stars with 0 hesitation, though- they really are the best!** I also have the CloudRunner, and those are a bit more durable and supportive, but these are still my faves! Those are a close second. If you can't wear Hokas because they're too squishy, but are looking for something super comfy, give these a shot. You won't regret it.
I have bought this shoe (now in green and white) twice. The first pair (green and purple colours) are still my 'lucky shoes' but I bought a second pair so I can transition into them before my first pair get completely worn out.I really like them for parkruns because:- excellent grip on the downhills compared to most flat-soled road shoes- not too spongy like many road shoes, so, perfect for 5k but I wouldn't use them for longer than 10km. Definitely not for long distance runs. I think the lack of excessive sponginess means that a final sprint is really possible.- excellent as trail shoes involving gravel paths, tarmac. I suppose coming down a mountain some people might want a stiffer middle but I find that makes shoes heavy. These are super light.- Really nice ... MoreI have bought this shoe (now in green and white) twice.

On Women’s Cloudflow: I got a size 9, and I initially didn’t like how the shoe felt after the first use. It felt like my foot was sliding around a bit, but the 8.5 was too small when I tried it on in the store. After a couple of uses it became my favorite pair (worn for a year now). I mostly use them for walking or as an everyday use shoe.I suffered from arch pain and planter fasciitis, and I had been wearing Hoka shoes. Initially, I was worried these wouldn’t be as cushy as the Hokas and I would feel more pain, but I think the smaller base has helped my feet. If I switch back to my Hokas I start getting arch pain again.
I had no intention on buying into the hype and not willing to order online without trying on first BUT I found this exact pair at my local Nordstrom Rack (no Nordstrom's within 1 1/2 hours of me). They are actually worth the hype! I have wide feet and while they are not catered toward wide feet they still have enough room for my super side toes. It literally felt like I wasn't wearing a shoe at times. Luckily I got them at a good discount and couldn't believe I even found this exact shoe already discounted. I have a lot of athletic shoes already and still felt that I needed these. They are my go-to sneaker.
