Pros
Great cushion
Easy to slip on
Cons
One of the pricier options
The On Cloudtilt is everything we’d want in a shoe we’re walking around in all day. It has a solid cushion with some response (so we don’t feel like we’re sucked down into the sidewalk) but not so much that we feel unstable. They are super soft and easy to slip on—an excellent detail for quick dressing.

Cloudaway 2 is a techy, water-repellent sneaker that can and will come in handy for rainy, slippery walking conditions. If you live in a city (or are traveling to one) with unpredictable weather, the water-repellent upper and grippy outsole will save the day. We like the undone, more casual upper with the standout stitching.

Pros
Big heel drop
Great support
Cons
Heel drop may be too high for some
The Cloudnova 2 is a great walking shoe for anyone with foot anatomy or ailments (plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and the like) that need a big heel drop. This 14mm drop is a big one, protecting heels from harsh impact. The soft heel collar is soft enough to step on and into quickly.

Cloudmonster is right, huh? The Cloudmonster Void has next-level bounce and cushion in that high midsole support. The stack height might be high, but the more reasonable 6mm drop makes it easy to wear. They are surprisingly lightweight, given the chunkier look. We love ’em.

Pros
Lightweight
Minimal but efficient
Cons
Snug toe box
For a super-plush sneaker—one that feels like a cloud and might be less concerned with quick responsiveness—it’s the Cloudsurfer all day long. It has a cushioned feeling in a surprisingly lightweight shoe. It’s also a favorite style for one of our in-house marathon runners.

How to Choose the Right On Cloud Shoe
For Beginners: After you buy one, you won’t ever turn back. For first-timers, we suggest going for the Cloudrunner. The Cloudrunner is great for beginners and is extremely lightweight and breathable. It will help you get out there and enjoy the great outdoors while protecting your feet.
For All-Weather Walkers: Unless you live somewhere like L.A., our experts suggest getting a pair of On Cloud shoes that are pros at battling the elements. The Cloudaway 2 is our water-repellent pick.
For Long-Distance Walkers: The Cloudmonster and Cloudtilt. These styles are designed with special Speedboard technology, making every step feel faster than the one before.

Which One Is the Most Cushioned?
The most cushioned option is the Cloudmonster for sure. This option pushes cushion to the max—our testers agree—and is great for runners and non-runners alike. It combines responsive CloudTec cushioning with an ultrapowerful Speedboard for comfy, cool landings and powerful, energetic takeoffs.
