Customer Reviews On Cloudvista Waterproof

The Cloudvista Waterproof is a good looking shoe, and the cushioning is certainly comfortable, but I had two problems that are worth flagging. First, the shoe squeaks a fair bit. I ordered two different sizes, and one squeaked a lot, while the other did not. In the past, I've used a file to hone the insides of the cloud gaps in the sole of the shoe. Roughing them up got rid of the squeak, even if it took a while to address. Either way, it's certainly annoying. I'd be willing to overlook that were it not for the fact that . . . Second, I couldn't find the right size. I'm typically a 12, in On Running shoes and other brands. I sized 0.5 up, as On suggested on its own site, and found that the 12.5 sized shoes were just too big; the heel slipped with most steps. The 12, on the other hand, was too tight. The toe box is narrower than most shoes, so I really squeezed in. No dice. If I could find the right size, I'd be thrilled.

The fit and sizing seemed right on with a pretty roomy toe box. I typically straddle men's sizes 12.5 to 13 (usually the latter because 12.5 is not too common) and these Cloudvista Waterproof shoes were perfect at size 12.5. They seemed like they would be waterproof, and they were not really stiff (a common complaint of waterproof shoes). However, I could feel all of the bumps of the tread underneath the ball of my foot which was very uncomfortable. I had also purchased On Cloud 5 Waterproof shoes. The Cloud 5 shoes were far more comfortable and I am looking forward to keeping those ones. I would recommend you check out both because you might not notice the tread bumps as much as I did.

Makes odd noise as the fabric flexes, due to the waterproogf Gortex membrane! I do not expect this noise to stop after break-in period, therefore returning. Overall the comfort was not great in the toe box. The transition from the thinner sneaker fabric to the rubber (above your toes) is beefed up and firmer, as this is a trail jogger, but it creates an uncomfortable "rub" point during foot-flex.

The front of both shoes were irregular. The fabric was to be creased on both shoes. Returned for this reason. Comfortable, though.

I have purchased many ON shoes. I love them. However, this pair was very poorly made. The material on the top of the shoe was wrinkled. They did not look like the ON shoes I am accustomed to.
