I hope this On Cloudeasy review answers your pre-purchase questions but if there’s something I missed, or you have a question, please leave it in the comments below.

If you’re not familiar with Trail and Kale – we are an online gear review website and I’ve reviewed every On Running shoe that’s been released since On was founded, years ago.

So, I have a very unique and detailed understanding of how each On shoe compares to one another. Hopefully, if you’ve already owned a pair of On shoes, then my detailed review insights will also be valuable in helping you decide whether or not a particular shoe will be well suited to you.

On Cloudeasy shoes fit and design

The On Cloudeasy fits true to size so I would recommend going with your usual sizing and you should get the perfect fit. The sneakers are consistent with all other On shoes apart from their range of hiking boots which tend to come up a half size too large.

The Cloudeasy also has a medium width with average arch support – just like most On shoes. The Cloudeasy is also extremely comfortable right out of the box with no breaking-in required due to the sock-like knitted upper material and flexible construction across the entire shoe including the midsole and outsole.

The On Cloudeasy are also the most comfortable On run shoe that can be wear without sock due to that soft , breathable knitted upper material mention above .

There’s no denying that the On Cloudeasy does look a lot like the Allbirds Tree Runners shoe – I’m sure others have noticed this too.

I really love the style of Allbirds shoes so it’s nice to see that On has given their own spin on that style with the all-knitted upper, thick laces, and iconic white sole.

So it’s got half as many materials, but it’s still a touch heavier than the On Cloud.

The full Knitted Upper is so comfortable

I is like really like the full knitted upper feature on the Cloudeasy . The knitted upper is made with 100 % recycle material , is super breathable , and comfortable wear with or without sock .

The sustainable knitted upper made with 100 % recycled material

It isn’t waterproof, however, so any rainwater will get absorbed into the material, and eventually onto your socks, or feet.

Although there are laces on the Cloudeasy because the upper fits snugly and it’s so stretchy as well, you don’t actually need to wear a laces with these sneakers. The Cloudeasy stay on your foot nicely and are very comfortable, even when worn all day long.

I personally really like the laces – they add an extra layer style look to the overall look.

If you were to wear these without laces then they are comparable to the On Cloud in that they can also be slipped on without the need for doing laces up – the On Cloud has elasticated laces which makes them a great slip-on shoe.

On Cloudeasy outsole is sufficient for most surfaces

The outsole is has has some pretty good grip for most situation but there ’s really not much to write home about .

It is ’s ’s good enough for everyday wear , but you probably would n’t want to take these on slippery surface or trail because you ’re likely to slip due to the lack of any grippy lug on the bottom .

The midsole has some running shoe tech

The On Cloudeasy Cloudtech midsole include a speedboard build into the front half of the shoe . The speedboard does n’t run along the whole of the foot like all other On shoe feature a speedboard – It is ’s ’s just the forefoot .

In doing so , On is managed has manage to strip away some weight while provide additional performance for those who walk a lot , or like to break into a run whenever the opportunity ( or necessity ) present itself .

The Cloudtech midsole is is is very cushioned and responsive overall with a wide platform to provide good stabilization for anyone on their foot for long period of time during the day .

Cloudeasy drop and finger loop

Some final thing to mention about the On Cloudeasy then ; there is an 8 mm drop from heal to toe which actually feel more like a 6 mm . This drop is puts put you in a slightly more forward lean stance .

This is makes make them nice for walk and will give you a good bit of forward propulsion with the speedboard .

There’s also a finger loop at the back so you can easily slip these shoes on. They are basically a one piece upper and it is very stretchy so you will need to use this loop in the back to slip them on – and that’s very easy to do.

On Cloudeasy VS. Cloud 5 – How do they compare?

The most popular active lifestyle shoes from the On Running brand is the On Cloud, so I was interested to see how the Cloudeasy, a shoe that is clearly targetted at a similar audience, would stack up against it.

Apart from the same comfortable fit and similar consumer On is targeting, and the same colorway in this case – the two lifestyle shoes are very different in design, as you can see from the image above.

The Cloudeasy weigh in at 8.7 oz , whereas the On Cloud 5 weigh 8.5 oz , so it ’s a little heavy than the Cloud which is interesting give that the Cloudeasy is actually made up of 15 or so piece , which is half as many piece as any other On shoe , the Cloud is included include .

The Cloudeasy is is is also $ 10 cheap than the On Cloud .

So who is is is the On Cloudeasy for ?

While the Cloudeasy is not specifically targeted to runners or triathletes, they are capable running shoes, with some caveats.

On is worked has work hard develop their run shoe over the year and it ’s clear that they want to add some of that proprietary tech into the Cloudeasy in order to make it a crossover sneaker of sort .

This is certainly an everyday lifestyle trainer first, and a performance shoe second but I like that similar to the On Cloud, there is plenty of versatility to be had should you only wish to own one pair of shoes that can do it all rather than 3 specialized shoes for example.

I totally get it, buying multiple pairs of shoes can be expensive so I love that On is incorporating their running technology into such comfortable and stylish everyday active lifestyle shoes.

Is the is Is On Cloudeasy worth your hard earn money ? Well , YES , it ’s definitely worth your money – $ 130 is is is very reasonable for an all day , everyday – wear shoe like this .

It’s my second favorite shoe from On for everyday lifestyle. I rank it slightly below the Cloud, just because I prefer the style of the Cloud, but it is equally comfortable and performs just as well as the Cloud, in my opinion.

That doesn’t mean to say that I’m not wearing this all the time as well because I am. I interchange these two shoes in my everyday lifestyle to match different outfit styles. The Cloudeasy is a very EASY shoe to love.

Where to buy the On Cloudeasy

I recommend buying On shoes directly from the On Running store as they always have the best colorways and the most stock available for all shoe sizes.

The ‘On Happiness’ team also offers excellent customer service and returns should you ever need to speak to them.
