Hi, Lars. What is the durability of the Cloudflow and Cloudultra like? Do you run in any On shoes?

Hey Wayne. Right now I am testing the Cloudeclipse, but have barely started, so yes I am running in On shoes at the moment. But the last time I got to test a pair was the first Cloudultra, maybe 1.5 years ago. I had no issues with the durability there, and I gave it a proper beating in the Norwegian mountains. When it comes to the Cloudflow 4, which is recently updated, the durability should be improved because of the new outsole with fewer individual cloud elements and a more incorporated design that also inhibits stones from getting stuck. As I go from shoe to shoe a lot, I don't get to test pairs of running shoes for longer periods, so I would really appreciate it if other people could give their opinions on this topic as well. Hope you are having a nice Black Friday! Lars

Cloudstratus 3

Thank you, Lars for your comments. How do the Cloudultra, with the open pods, cope with water and mud? Do they become heavy?@@RunningXpert

@@wayneharris1546 I didn't have any issues with this when I ran in them. Lars

I also rotate between the ghost and cloudflow.

Hey, thank you! Speed and Mach are just a bit different to what On makes, but I think the Cloudflow might be the closest thing there. It should be a bit firmer than both the Speed and the Mach, but I have heard good things about the upgrade to Cloudflow 4 (haven't been able to try it though). Lars

Hey MiracleWarrior! I have been off for the holidays, so I'm late at answering. I would say it is closer to a Adios than a Pegasus. Happy new year! Lars

Hey :D Thank you! Nei, Bryne er for langt sør, jeg er fra det flotte nordvestlandet.

As someone who’s been using On shoes for several years, I walk a lot in my job and highly recommend the Cloudstratus, Cloundnova Form and Cloudmonster models.

I recommend cloudtilt

Hey! There are many from On, and personally I really like walking and standing in On shoes. If it was up to me I would probably walk in a Cloudmonster or a Cloudstratus, as they have plenty of cushion, but aren't too soft. The Monster will have more breathability if you like that, and the stratus will have more space for your foot. If its a bit too epensive, then plder version are available on our site in some sizes, and the cloudrunner should also be a nice, stable and comfortable option with a lower price. Hope this helped. You are welcome to ask more questions :D Lars

Hey. The Cloud Stratus is a fantastic shoe for people who need extra cushion and comfort. Lars

Hei Ghost-br7ut, Det er jo ingen sko som helt ligner på Clifton 9, men den som er nermest er nok Cloudsurfer. Den er bare ikke så mye struktur og støtte i som Clifton 9. Cloudmonster er også en veldig god vei å gå. Her får du noe du kan løpe litt fortere i, men som fortsatt har litt demping. Men det er fint å fite at den nok ikke vil føles helt så myk som en Clifton 9 vil. Lars

@@RunningXpert Tusen takk for svar! super topp video du lager!

@@PsGetSid_ Takk. Godt å høre!

I’m in the same boat I’d like to know also, but it doesn’t look like he responds to comments much

Hey @orrireid4435, I hope you have had a great weekend. I would consider the Cloud 5 more a walking shoe than a running shoe, but it will have less support than the Cloudflow 4. So it all comes down to what kind of hold you want a around the midfoot. The Cloudflow 4 will have a stronger grip on your foot, support you more, and would probably be my shoe of choice between those two. But it's all about taste. Lars

Hey @gibreezy, I have answered the comment above so hopefully you'll get a notification as well. Hope you've had a great weekend! Lars

@@RunningXpert ahh gotcha. Most of my shoes are from Skechers, so I suppose Cloudflow 4 is a better choice if I want to adapt easier?

Well, that again depends on what shoe from Sketchers you've had. :D Overall I find the Cloudflow 4 to be a more preferable shoe for me, but if you look at sales numbers then most people use the Cloud 5 as a walking shoe. Lars

Hey. This is highly subjective, but I have tried the Cloud Eclipse and Cloudboom Echo 3, and find them alle a tad long compared to my pegasus 40 and my invincible 3. Not by much, but those shoes are at a spot where it might be worth it to size down. Lars

Hey :D Cloudrunner 2 should feel more firm and less comfy than the Cloudmonster 2. Hop eyou are having a great day! Lars

@@RunningXpert so for the comfort, monster is better than runner 2? and onemore, what have they upgrades from runner 1 to runner 2?

I believe the monster is more comfortable if you are seeking softness and bounce. Stay with monster if you like softness and bounce

Hey, That is a good point. It is a hard thing to suggest though, because some people like a softer shoe and some like it harder. Some want a very comfortable and plush shoe and some like it as breathable as possible. I would probably use a Cloudflow 4 for walking because it is light, breathable, and a little firmer. If you like a softer and more breathable one, Cloud Monster would be a great option, and if you want a soft and plush shoe, the Cloud Stratus should be a great possibility. Lars

Hey. The Cloud Monster really breathable and has a thin upper, but nice cushioning for daily use. Lars

Hej, Cloudflow 4 er nok en meget god til løbebånd og fitness generelt. Den er ikke så blød lidt lavere skumhøjde og et løbebånd giver noget blødhed. Hvis du vil have en sko der måske er lidt mere affjedring i, så ville jeg valgt Cloudmonster, da den har en tynd overdel, der ikke bliver for varm indendørs og lidt mere skum end Cloudflow. Lars

tunsen tak for jers feedback@@RunningXpert

Hey. It depends if you want a bit more plushness in the upper or a tighter fit. I think the Cloud flow 4 would be great if you want a shoe for walking and want a tighter fit around the midfoot. The Cloud stratus is a softer shoe with a softer upper and more space for your toes. I think both of them would be great for long day standing. Lars

In essence, whichever fits you. But some people with flat feet like a bit of support around the arch, and then the Cloudrunner would be the best option. If you want to be in a neutral shoe, then I would suggest the Cloudstratus as a stable and good shoe with a wider fit, and the Cloudmonster if you want a more tight fit. Lars

Hey Shyraman4506, On shoes are great running shoes with a very distinct look and a bit firmer feel. Nike Alphafly is a great marathon racing shoe, and the closest thing On has, is the Cloudboom Echo 3. Do you use Alphafly as you main running shoe or as a racing shoe? Lars

@@RunningXpert I use them for when I go out running on the streets for a normal run but when I go to the gym I use the Nike air zoom tempo next %

Yeah, Well, most of the shoes that I show in this video are quite different from the shoes you use. Alphafly is a pure marathon racer and the tempo next% is a tempo trainer. In general these on shoes are made to last longer and will feel a lot closer to daily trainers from Nike than the racing shoes. They will not be as springy, and in general more stable when landing. Lars

Hey :D I would suggest the Cloudrunner or the Cloudflyer if you are a overpronator. But If you want a bit of extra cushion as well, then the Cloudstratus is a very stable neutral shoe. Lars

Hey. Both Cloudstratus or Cloudeclipse give some space for the foot. But they are both the standard "D" width and not "E2" if that makes sense. Lars

Hey Supersonic! The CloudTilt is first and foremost a comfortable walking shoe, and not a running shoe. It does have Helion Superfoam, but we haven't tested it ourselves, and must then trust On's own judgement when they are calling this a walking shoe. Lars

Hey :D You are always welcome to ask any question if you still feel unsure about which shoe you should get. Lars

I'm even more lost now

Can I refer you?

Yes, two very different shoes you talk about there. I think people will in general like one or the other, and not both :D We also think the Cloudsurfer is more of a jogger type of shoe, more comfort and softness, and less speed and agility. Thanks for your insights. Lars

Hey Silversurfer. These are two very different companies that make very different shoes, so a direct conversion is quite hard :D. We think the Invincible and the CloudEclipse could be compared, but there is a difference in the softness, with Nike a lot softer. The shoe that resembles the Pegasus the most might be the CloudGo. But again, they are quite different. If you want a shoe that has some cushion, but that also can turn up the pace, then the CloudMonster could also be an option. Lars

For everyday casual use, I recommend On Cloud 5. It’s good looking and popular walking shoes.

Hey Haiderabbas, Can you help us make better videos? What could we have done to make it less confusing? We have recently started making comparison graphics as well, but it sure isn't easy to differentiate shoes from brands nowadays. We will try our best to make even better content in the future. Lars

I walk 15 miles a day on a 12 hour shift making semiconductors chips, not a gimmick at all. I wear the Cloudsurfer which was engineered for energy return.

​@@survivalistcookbook9625You can probably walk in a pair Nike Motiva or New Balance classic like 996, 574 all day and feeling comfortable. Walking is mechanically different movement compare to running, I think

Hey Kindface, We are always trying to improve. Can you help with making some examples of what benefits you think we should focus on? Lars

@@RunningXpert In the brave new world of the internet, there’s no reason why you can’t find something meaningful if you Google for sales training. I find it hard to believe that you can’t differentiate between talking features and talking benefits when you obviously think you’re ready to start a YT channel

We are here to learn and get better, but we are also aware of a lot of false information in the running world, especially in regards to running shoes and benefits. That's why we wanted to know what benefits you think we should have focused on. But it seems you are not here to have a discourse, so we'll just hope you'll have a good day. Lars

@@RunningXpert Have a conversation? I don’t owe you my time. If you’re from my boomer generation, you would first do some digging on the back of the tip i just gave you about features vs benefit, especially when the Internet is at your finger tips. But, no, instead you prefer to be lazy and for someone to spoonfeed you - that’s what you mean by ‘a conversation’. Oh, sure, the world owes you conversations. Good luck to you.

Hey Kindface :D Thanks again for your answer! Having conversations on this channel helps spread the video to even more people. I am very aware of the different benefits of running shoes, which could easily be boiled down to comfort, stability, and speed. All aspects that we are talking about in this video. In this lineup video, we take care not to go too deep into each shoe and make use of the features as a guide to show the differences between shoes, that in some cases, are very similar. If you think we are doing a bad job, then it's okay. We won't suffer for it, and all we can do is try to improve and get better. When it comes to you not owing us your time, that is okay. Remember, we are just answering your first inquiry. We still hope you are having a great day. Keep running, and I hope you figure out which shoe you need with your own research. If you have any questions about On running shoes. Feel free to ask. Lars

Ehh guess it depends what you're comparing them too...

​@@robbiecleighmarks3088compared to the production cost which is about 25$. 😅 But yes, it's the same for other brands.

I’m personally a Jordan guy so for me these are average price and they are worth every penny

They are expensive but they are amazing shoes

@@BronnerGunter-mc5vu people have different opinions here... i know some that gave them away

That's crazy. Where are you shoe shopping? Cause you're getting ripped off. These shoes don't go $300+ At least not within the U.S.

I paid under $200, where are you shopping?
