I have previously tried many different running shoes, those including different styles of brooks. However, I often found myself having issues with my ankles when running in them. With these, however, I am yet to experience that issue. I have been wearing these shoes every single day since I bought them because they are that good. They give me the ability to push myself further fitness wise, rather than being limited on if my shoes become uncomfortable. I could not recommend more. I am usually a size 5 and I bought a size 5 and they fit perfectly. Many people are saying to go a size and a half bigger, however, the shoes do fit to your feet after several wears so I wouldn’t recommend that.

I bought these shoes during the Covid lockdown, so I didn't wear them for quite a while. I am an 8.5 in dress shoes, and ordered a size 9. I do not have a wide foot. My loves on these shoes: NOT ultra memory-type foam cushy. Those types of sneaks make me feel off-balance. Heel box secures the foot nicely. The arches are not high, as other reviewers have indicated. They are a normal arch. The biggest plus for me is that they actually fit in my arch. So many have the arch pressing in at the beginning of the sole of my foot. You can feel the breathability. The tongue does not come up and rub your ankle, as other brands can. I am out with our very active Vizsla on gravel and often times muddy trails 5-6 X/ week. Shoes look lalm8st new, inside, outside, soles.

Never had to break them in. What's a break-in on an athletic shoe, anyway? Should not happen.

Lots of rave reviews about ON shoes. I’ve been running for 20 years and have tried everything. So, I was eager to try out this ON technology. My final assessment…eh, they’re okay. Although aesthetically they’re stylish and they do have some shock absorption, everything else is disappointing. The laces are cheap, there is not a lot of arch support for normal size arch, and the back rests low on the Achilles heel. My Hokas and older Asics are better.

I have owned dozens of On running shoes over the years and always have a few in rotation since I wear them to work, run, weight training, ect. I decided to try the cloudswift since I love the look and colors. I was soo disappointed . Within minutes on the treadmill my feet went numb. I’ve never had to break in a pair of on’s. I had to cut my workout short and take them off. I sized up when I purchased (always do 1/2 size up) so thought maybe it was the socks I was wearing. So I gave the shoe another try and Couldn’t even stand wearing it around the house .I’m not giving up on onrunning shoes. They have done good for me and my bunions over the years otherwise ha ;)Sad to say I’ll be returning .
I purchased these shoes because I needed a new pair of runners, but also because I needed comfortable shoes to walk in during my Euro trip. I was short on time and I ordered them on Thursday and they arrived for the next day without issue - impressive!While I can't speak to how they perform for their intended purpose - running - they are excellent for the walking I did on my trip, on which there are days I did ~38km of walking. Previously I've had a lot of knee soreness with my other runners when I walk long distances, but I really had little to none with these.They do fit small - I'm typically a 35 or 35.5 in shoes, and the 6 fit me perfectly. I have a very narrow foot and I found that these were a good width for running/walking.

I have a very narrow foot and I found that these were a good width for running/walking. They have a ton of support, and in fact, I think it was too much support for walking. If you're going to purchase these for just running though I imagine they'll feel amazing for a 5-8km run. For a walk though, it was overkill and I did feel a bit of a 'rocking' sensation given the shape of the sole.These were a great buyand I plan on buying again from the brand.
This model has more padding than the $139 models. Very much worth the extra $10. I tried them on in the store and was glad I did. First time ever sizing up from my normal 7.5 in all shoe types to an 8. Not sure if it’s just this model or not. But 8 is perfect.This one does not come with elastic laces as an addition. (Wish they’d make this more obvious on all styles, there are so many!)Super cushy and comfortable. I have a semi wide foot at ball of foot but skinny ankles. These are perfect. The tongue is fixed. No issues with that, still easy to slip into. Laces are thinner and nicer than on other brands of sneakers. Will buy black eventually. I bought the gray/white color. Soles are just very very light lavender. Pretty!
These shoes are wonderful. I am 76 years old and still work 20 hrs a week on my feet, so I need shoes that are comforable. Prior to the cloudswifts my back hurt every day, but now it does not. I feel more balanced, stronger and more energetic. There is plenty of room in the toe box, great support and I feel a boost with each step. Did I mention how cute and stylish they are! And yes, even at my age, I do not want to wear "old lady" shoes. I love how the tounge is attached to rest of the shoe so that they always stay in place. These are well worth the money.
I tried these sneakers in store prior to purchase. I really liked how they looked and it felt comfortable when I first tried them on. I didn’t take them out of the box until the following year and wore them out to a theme park. I walked in the shoes for about 10 minutes and stood in line for about another 5 before realizing that all my toes went numb. It was similar to the feeling of wearing a pair of 6 inch open-toe Louboutin pumps where the front portion of the shoe is so narrow that all your toes are squished together. I was in pain. I have never had this problem with any pair of high end running shoes I’ve purchased. I don’t wear wide width shoes. And I’ve never had to break-in a pair of sneakers either. I was so disappointed with my purchase. Looks cool but ... MoreI tried these sneakers in store prior to purchase. I really liked how they looked and it felt comfortable when I first tried them on.

I was excited to try On running shoes. I ordered the Cloudswift and Cloud X. The way the swift fits, it’s hard to believe they are the same brand. First, the swift was hard to get on my foot, even with the laces loose. The swift is oddly tight and uncomfortable in the toe box. They also feel stiff and uncomfortable even without standing. If this was the only pair of On I had tried, I would have no further interest in the brand.The Cloud X are fine. They are more aligned with my expectations for On. I will likely keep the Cloud X. The Cloudswift are going straight back to my local store.
I have been wearing these sneakers for three months with my own orthotics. They are pure heaven for me!I wear a women’s 9 or 9.5. Originally I ordered a 9.5 but they were too small, so I tried a size 10. Perfect fit! Keep in mind I am putting my own orthotics in them.I tried 3 other styles same brand and none were as cushiony and comfortable as these for me. Nothing close. I am going to get these in another color.BTW I don’t run in these shoes. I walk A LOT and use them for gym workouts and around town. Perfect for a vacation where lots of city walking is necessary.
