I bought the @On Cloudtilt running shoes and I love them! They not only feel good, but look good as well. I couldn’t get over the fact that I looked a little funny in the other shoes, so I had to get me a new pair! I tested the shoes out for a 3 mile run and it felt good. My feet didn’t hurt at all and I felt like I had a lot of support!View post H

They’re good for walking. How long they last depends on how often you wear them and how you deem something to be run down. I’ve had one for 6 months and can still wear them for a year or so in my books, just that they’re not as comfortable as it was in the last 3 months. They’ll also squeak if you get them wet. Not always guaranteed to squeak but they most likely will.Read thread G
The top part where the laces sit felt really tight, especially when I was sitting still after a walk like in the car. Strangely enough, while walking, I barely noticed the tightness. But once I stopped, there was this weird tingling almost like my foot was being squeezed too much in one spot.Watch H
