On Running earns polarized reviews: many say the shoes are comfortable, lightweight, and cushioned enough for walking, everyday wear, and even long races, while others report inconsistent support for running, half‑size‑small fits, and durability issues like heel and mesh tearing. Reviews praise styles like Cloud 5, Cloudmonster, Cloudrunner, and The Roger for sleek looks and versatile comfort, but flag pebble‑catching soles, flimsy or fussy laces, traction concerns on wet metal, and widely criticized customer service.

  • I really wanted to like these because they have a really cute look and look great on my foot but I went out on a run with them and they were not comfortable. I don’t know if the shoes didn’t hit my arch correctly but they started to hurt after about a mile and I didn’t really feel much support from them. It was almost as if this shoe was made for people with high arches.

    Maybe having an insole with more cushion would be beneficial or adjusting the shape of the insole entirely so that the shoe can be suitable to those who may not have as high of an arch as others.

  • I’m an avid runner with a history racing shorter sprinting races to now half marathons and marathons - I was introduced to On running shoes about a year ago and have not looked back - the shoes are stylish and I do not encounter problems with my knees or ankles that I was seeing with other running shoes. These shoes also give off a “if you know you know” feel in the running community given their cult like following but relative low profile.

    Feedback

    Price is point is very high - not very inclusive to the running community as a whole

  • Softest shoe I have ever worn. Walked around on steep hills, cobblestone roads, and grassy fields without a hitch. Highly recommend

    Small pebbles can get stuck in the sole of shoes and expanded color schemes
