The On Cloudflyer is often a shoe that you’ll see appearing in our lists as a go-to stability shoe. The new updates keep it firmly in that category to help with pronation and make it a great choice for those needing support while on their feet all day….but beware it’s not so plush as they promise.
Reviews for the On Cloudflyer 5 are all over the place. Some runners love them, while others find them a total miss.
I put them to the test on the treadmill, gravel trails, and even a few hours walking around to see if there’s a certain place where they really shine.
On’s shoes often wind up in the short easy run and casual shoe section of my closet (really need to get my hands on the Cloudboom Strike). Will the Cloudflyer 5 follow the same pattern? Keep reading to find out.
Who is it good for?
Who is the On Cloudflyer 5 a good fit for? Let’s break it down with some common categories:
- Wide Feet: It’s not a wide shoe, but plenty of room to wiggle your toes and you can even adjust the laces for a snug or loose fit.
- Heavier Runners: Probably not the most durable option out there.
- Long Runs: It could be a long run shoe, but you may find yourself opting for shorter…
