Good but not amazing

Anonymous runner · Jan 12, 2020

5/5

Overall

I absolutely love my On cloud flow shoes. I actually have about 6 pairs. The only downside to this shoe is the life. I am extremely hard on my feet and the sneaker will only get me about 200 miles making a very expensive training and racing sneaker. But since I am hooked on it I'll keep dishing it out because it's fast, comfortable and I love the colors

Great shoe but can be pricey

Anonymous runner · Jan 6, 2020

4/5

Overall

Light shoe which I've used for training runs and up to 10km races. Great in the dry but in the wet can be slippery. I've never had any issues with ankles or knees with these shoes. Not sure about the durability, some wear around the upper is already a bit visible @ 250kms.

Very comfortable lightweight shoe

Anonymous runner · Nov 24, 2019

5/5

Overall

Very comfortable lightweight shoe. Only reason I can’t give them a 10 is the occasional rock getting stuck in the treads. If you are looking for a neutral shoe for road, track and treadmill the Cloudflow is highly recommended.
