Customer Reviews On Cloudflow

I bought these shoes based on reccomendations of friends. I usually wear Adidas Boost. These are nice shoes, for well and look nice. But they aren't as comfortable as Adidas, for me. But a solid pair of shoes overall!

These are very stylish shoes but felt narrower and shorter than I would have expected.

Love the color!

Returned them. Wasn't what I was expecting. Only posting this so Zappos stops emailing me for a review

I liked them but ultimately had to return them because my heel would lift from the sole. Otherwise, the fit was fine.

I’m writing this review based on the 11 women’s On Cloudflows. I’m a woman who typically wears 11 women’s sneakers. The reviews about sizing being all over the place are 100% true. The women’s 11s were about 1/2 size too small. Generally 11 women’s and 9.5 men’s are equivalent, so I went to a men’s 10, which was gigantic. I dropped down to a men’s 9.5 and it was still slightly larger than what I would typical experience, but it worked. I think they have manufacturing quality issues where sizing is different based on the color you get, but also women’s sizing run anywhere from .5-1 size smaller, while the men’s run .5-1 size larger than what you’d typically expect. I’m on the top end of women’s 11, hence the frustration. If you are on the small side of a size, you may be ok. So take this into consideration when purchasing, honestly just buy 2 sizes if you are unsure and return one - you’ll save time and the extra trip to UPS.

As for the rest of the review, I moved from Brooks when they discontinued their Pureflows. I need a low differential sneaker and that has gone out of favor, there aren’t many sneakers out there with less than 8mm drop. These fit the bill. There is minimal arch support - the perfect amount where the shoe isn’t completely flimsy, but low arches don’t get rubbed against a plastic frame. There have been other reviews about the tongue digging in, and I can see why those reviews exist, the tongue doesn’t curl up and is completely flat and thin. It may bother you, especially if you use the super lo-pro socks. Hasn’t been an issue for me. The laces are complete garbage. Replace them immediately. They are super thin, which isn’t great for dispersing pressure when you lace up, but more frustrating is they loosen up, even when you lace lock them. You’ll also need brand new laces as the holes are very tight, so old beat up laces won’t go through them. Seriously though, replace the laces. I have narrow, long feet, they fit well, that probably means it’s going to be slightly narrow for normal feet. The toe box is definitely not as roomy as other sneakers either (Brooks for example). These are minor concerns and not hugely divergent from what you’d expect for a normal width. If you are the wider side of normal or need a big toe box, you might want to look elsewhere. With all that said, I run about 15-20 miles a week, and these are working well. I haven’t been able to review how well the material holds up, as some reviewers complained the upper break down very fast. When I get a few more runs in, I’ll update this review.

Nice fit

I'm on my 3rd pair of the Cloudflow, so they work well for me. I wear them everyday, and use them for running and general activity. They have a good mix of cushion/impact reduction, traction (street use only). Had some pre-existing knee pain and I feel like these have really helped. They look great. I love the lace loops - I never have to retie. The fit has been about 95% consistent between the different pair. I get about 500 miles of use total before they are too worn out for running.

I was expecting more substantial cushioning from my Asics Nimbus but they felt about the same.

These are super cute and light. I had to ding them on comfort because I pronate and after going for a true walk in these my feet were aching and my back hurt. If you normally need significant arch support, these may not be the best for distance. They’re a great shoe for casual use. That said, my husband loves these shoes. They are super light, comfortable and provide enough support for running and walking.

The Cloudflow is a very nice looking shoe. It's marketed as a comfort road running shoe, but I intend on using it more as a casual/everyday shoe. For my purposes its great. It has a very European look that is simple and streamlined. The comfort is decent enough for my intended use, but I don't think I'd like running in them (I usually wear Brooks Ghost and Saucony Ride for running). Overall I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

1st Experience with ON brand...love so far.

Love the look, not the fit.

In just under a year the heals have broken down and can not be worn anymore. They were my favorite running shoes up to that point. I will try another pair though.

Good fit, slightly large. Would have ordered the same size irrespective. They feel a little stiff on runs, not a “cushy” ride.

I like my athletic/running shoes to be snug, and I usually wear an 8.5. I had to exchange these for a size 8, so they run about a half size larger, possibly more. Love the design and look. Very light shoe for the amount of cushion it offers. One downside is the amount of rocks/debris that get stuck in the bottom of the shoe. Most definitely best used for paved roads. Overall, solid shoe for the price.

Love the look and style of these shoes. Most shoes take awhile to get the comfort that these offered me right out of the box. Only downside so far has been 3 days in, the laces have started to thread for no apparent reason. They can always be replaced, but the colour will certainly be hard to match.

Shoes were comfortable and light way, just didn't fit the same as nike, brooks, adidas etc

I’m in love with these shoes! I’ve had them for two weeks and have put 20 miles on them, including a half marathon. The support is good, the cushion they provide is like running on springs. The only cons I’ve found so far is small rocks do tend to get stuck in the lugs of the sole but they don’t stay there for long (at least in my experience). Also, the foot bed has beveled edges all the way around and rubbed slightly on my big toe.. I have a callous there so that may have attributed to it but a little glide on my toe solved the problem... Overall these are incredible running shoes!

I wear 11.5 in Nike and 11 is same for this shoe. A little narrow but not too bad. Very comfortable.

I was expecting a lot more cushion. These are kind of hard at the insole. I use them for running only (I’m only a 5k guy). They’re super lightweight. But not the most comfortable running shoe I’ve ever worn. But they are definitely very high quality and well put-together.

I was trying to decide between the On Cloud 2.0 and the On Cloudflow. Originally just tried the On Cloud 2.0 and got my normal 11 US size but found that it ran big. Returned and reordered at a 10.5 US which fit perfectly. In addition I ordered the Cloudflow 10.5 US size. When wearing one shoe on alternative feet, the Cloudflow had a bit more cushion compared to the firmer Cloud 2.0. The Cloud 2.0 had a slightly taller/wider upper which would be more comfortable with those with a wider foot or prefer a bit more toe splay, but in the end I'm using these for road running and would prefer to have the snugger upper fit of the Cloudflow. I can't comment on the longevity of the Cloudflow but did immediately find a bit of a spring on my initial jog.

Generally a quality running shoe that feels more durable than it looks. Cushion is nothing special and nothing to complain about. Runs a half size larger than nike and newton. Took more blisters on my back ankle than I have when switching to other brands or models. May buy again, tbd.

Amazing shoes they really feel like cloud walking. In fact wifey got hers too.
