If you’ve spent more than a minute in an airport recently, you might’ve noticed everyone wearing these curved running shoes strapped with weird hole-y outsoles under them. Those ubiquitous sneakers are by a Swiss brand called On Running, and if you don’t already own a pair, you should know that they’re only getting trendier by the second. “An amazon walking shoe,” reviewer skysoblue said about a pair she scored from REI. “I recently took these shoes down for an adventure through miles of walking the Disney parks, and my feet were happy campers at the end of the day.”
If you’re already an On diehard, good news: the popular On Cloudswift 3 is secretly on sale at REI! You can nab a pair of these comfy daily walking shoes right now in men’s and women’s sizes for 25% off.
The On Cloudswift 3 is defined by the brand as a forward-rolling road shoe, meaning it has a curved outsole from the heel to toe that easily propels your toe-off when running and walking. In other words, your stride in these should feel like autopilot. They’re especially comfy for leisurely strolls, though some reviewers say they’ve taken their pairs out on 10-mile runs. You can nab a pair in women’s sizes 6-11 and men’s sizes 8-13.
“This shoe is the best performance and aesthetic shoe I’ve ever worn. It has a great distribution of support for weight training and then soft enough to go on a 2-3 mile run without your joints hurting the next day. I’ve owned many different versions of this show and other ones that ON makes, but this is my favorite without a doubt. I weigh 240 pounds throughout the year and this shoe so far has been the one that holds up the best with all the different styles of training I do. Can’t wait to try the new versions they are coming out with.” — Jose M
“The most comfortable work shoes! I am on my feet all day for my job (Registered Nurse) and my feet don’t hurt after a 13 hour shift. It truly feels like you’re walking on a cloud!” — Laura B
“Finally!! An answer for my hard to fit feet. Let’s just be frank….I have deformed feet (a.k.a. hammer toe that refuses to comply with standard shoes) These kicks allow me to use my own orthodics. They fit like a glove…ample room in the “toe box”. Their name is on spot – feels like I’m walking on clouds. And the fact that their quite stylish doesn’t hurt. Yay.” — Cindy
“I’ve had these for a few weeks and have been taking these on 10 mile runs and they perform great. I do not like super padded shoes for running, and these are lightweight and responsive while still providing very decent support. I have flat feet and generally like more support, and these really worked for me. The laces need to be double knotted while running, but not a big deal.” — jjvl
“These are my first pair of Ons and they’re extremely comfortable. I have very flat feet and was surprised how little pain my feet were in after walking 10+ miles in Vegas. Would definitely recommend!” — aweisman
“I love being outside…..and as much as I tell myself I’m going to run this review will not help with how they do on a run, but if you know how it is to walk miles around a theme park, then this is your review. I recently took these shoes down for an adventure thru miles upon miles of walking the multiple Disney parks and my feet were happy campers at the end of the day. So even though I’m not a huge fan of the price I’ll take that over the tired feet I usually have after a 10 mile day in a park.” — skysoblue
