I have had them for about 2 years and still in great shape.

4/5

Overall

I don't like how dirty they gets so fast since I got the color white. I like the comfort and how its so comfortable to run, workout, and etc. Usually my feet hurt after wearing other shoes and I get blisters but my OnClouds I haven't got an blister or my feet hurting from them definitely recommend!
