7 Best On Cloud Shoes for Walking All Day Long

• Great cushion
• Easy to slip on

• One of the pricier options

The On Cloudtilt is everything we'd want in a shoe we're walking around in all day. It has a solid cushion with some response (so we don't feel like we're sucked down into the sidewalk) but not so much that we'd feel unstable. They are super soft and easy to slip on—an excellent detail for quick dressing.

• Great suede upper
• Look not as in-your-face as on some other options

• Pricey

This FKA Twigs x On collaboration is subtle and cool, not too obviously an On sneaker—not obvious what kind of sneaker it is at all. But once you look at it for a bit, you can see that signature midsole and quick-lace system. The lower profile and dynamic suede upper make it a stylish option.

• Water-repellent
• Quick-lace system

• Techy look not for everyone

Cloudaway 2 is a techy, water-repellent sneaker that can and will come in handy for rainy, slippery walking conditions. If you live in a city (or are traveling to one) with unpredictable weather, the water-repellent upper and grippy outsole will save the day. We like the undone, more casual upper with the standout stitching.

• Crazy-high cushion
• Great for tired feet

• Might feel too high or unstable for some

Cloudmonster is right, huh? The Cloudmonster Void has next-level bounce and cushion in that high midsole support. The stack height might be high, but the more reasonable 6mm drop makes it easy to wear. They are surprisingly lightweight, given the chunkier look. We love 'em.

• Aesthetic more for everyday wear
• Easy, low-profile shape

• Not as much support as some other options

These aren't technically walking shoes, but sometimes the situation calls for a low-profile sneaker that can be walked in. The Advantage is that it, of course, doesn't have the same kind of anatomical design as some other options, but it still has plenty of soft super-foam support.

• Big heel drop
• Great support

• Heel drop too high for some

The Cloudnova 2 is a great walking shoe for anyone with the foot anatomy or ailments (plantar fasciitis, achilles tendonitis, and the like) that need a big heel drop. This 14mm drop is a big one, protecting heels from harsh impact. The soft heel collar is soft enough to step on and into quickly.

• Lightweight
• Minimal but efficient

• Snug toe box

For a super-plush sneaker—one that feels like a cloud and might be less concerned with quick responsiveness—it's the Cloudsurfer all day long. It has a cushioned feeling in a surprisingly lightweight shoe. It's also a favorite style for one of our in-house marathon runners.

For Beginners: After you buy one, you won't ever turn back. For first-timers, we suggest going for the Cloudrunner. The Cloudrunner is great for beginners and is extremely lightweight and breathable. It will help you get out there and enjoy the great outdoors while protecting your feet.

For All-Weather Walkers: Unless you live somewhere like L.A., our experts suggest getting a pair of On Cloud shoes that are pros at battling the elements. The Cloudaway 2 is our water-repellent pick. For Long-Distance Walkers: The Cloudmonster and Cloudtilt. These styles are designed with special Speedboard technology, making every step feel faster than the one before.

The most cushioned option is the Cloudmonster for sure. This option pushes cushion to the max—our testers agree—and is great for runners and non-runners alike. It combines responsive CloudTec cushioning with an ultrapowerful Speedboard for comfy, cool landings and powerful, energetic takeoffs.
