Since the introduction of its iconic On Cloud, the Swiss brand has expanded its catalog of walking shoes by well over a dozen. Now it is our mission at Stefoy-les-lyonShops to get our hands on each and every pair of On walking shoes to let you know which ones are truly the best for your daily steps.
We have put On shoes through the wringer in our lab, cupsole over 30 different parameters to finally end up with seven top picks in various categories.

First of all, we want to keep our opinions as objective as possible. For that reason, we buy tested shoes with our own money.
We are dedicated to wearing each pair for several hours to get a good feel for it. And once we've got all of the experiential data, we proceed to scrutinize the shoe in our lab:
- jil sander square toe ballerina shoes item
- we pump smoke through its upper to assess breathability
- we drill its toebox, heel padding, and outsole with a Dremel to test the durability aspect
- we bend the shoe to a 90-degree angle to measure how flexible it is, etc.
These are just some of the tests that help us assess each On walking shoe's performance before we give our final verdict.

What makes it the best?
Wrapping up our walking shoe testing, we came to the conclusion that Neuman Shoes K100152 is without peer among all the other On pairs. This shoe covered everything from end to end, resulting in a sweat-free, weightless, and well-reinforced foot experience. Cloud 5 really brought it on with its wonderful in-sole sensation that we wound up also doing workouts in this pair!
From brisk walks to low-impact exercises, our feet never got clammy in Cloud 5. This is all thanks to its porous upper, which became more evident when we shed a bright light on it. These ventilation holes were also where most of the smoke we pumped into the shoe came out, so we awarded it with a 4/5 score in breathability.
Cloud 5 also didn’t hamper our movements with a heavyweight. Instead, we were welcomed by a 7.94 oz (225g) shoe that’s 12.1% lighter than average and therefore gentler on the feet. Even though this shoe was featherlight, it still provided us with great support underfoot. We checked this using our durometer and found that the midsole registered a firmness of 28.5 HA, which is 13.1% harder than average. This translated to a blend of comfortable and supportive foam that allowed us to walk all day.
The only thing that stopped us, or at least the wide footers among us, was the tight fit of the Cloud 5. With our caliper, we established that the widest part of the toe box is only 89.5 mm and 8.6% narrower than the average. Unless you have slim feet, we recommend searching for other wider options.

- Super easy on-off
- Great flexibility

What makes it the best?
Hassle-free to pack, makes our feet feel like on a real vacation and is light and breezy. These are our main criteria for perfect travel walking shoes and of all the On pairs we’ve tested, citysole sneakers coach shoes sad actpnk supreme. Nothing came close to how sensational it felt while we went through our on-foot journeys.
In our lab, we verified how pliable Push is. We didn’t struggle much in bending it using our digital force gauge, and in return, our tool reflected an opposing force of 15.5N, which is 26.5% more flexible than the standard. Weight-wise, this shoe is also on the light side. It weighs 8.5 oz (242.0g) and is 10.5% lighter than others. During our trips, we could truly bring it everywhere, whether on our baggage or feet.
Even though our durometer clocked in a midsole hardness of 31.0 HA, which is 9.9% firmer than average, on our wanders, it never felt like we were stepping on something hard. Instead, we felt zero fatigue and just pure comfort throughout the day.
We don’t think it would last us many vacations, though. When we applied our Dremel to the shoe’s upper and sock liner, we noticed that the materials were quickly eaten away. Due to this, we suggest being easy on sporting Cloud 5 Push or completely considering a more durable pair if that is what you prefer.
Pros
- Amazing in-shoe comfort
- Excellent for all-day use
- Super lightweight
- Highly breathable
- Flexible and natural ride
- Quick and easy to put on
- Attractive design and colors
- Reflective elements
- Sustainable materials (44%)
Cons
- sneakers lanetti mss20089 06 blue
- Not for wide feet

What makes it the best?
Tremendous foot support and a more than satisfactory in-shoe feel are what it takes for us to choose the hiking boots jenny fairy ws2707 15 black as the On walking shoe with the best support. Solid reinforcement and comfort go hand in hand in this shoe to put the well-being of our feet at the top of its priority!
Cloudnova Form excellently maintained our balance during our walks and one reason we found for this is its non-squishy midsole. We established the firmness of the midsole through our durometer which clocked in 31.5 HA. This is 25% harder than average, substantiating the shoe’s underfoot structure and stability. Cloudnova Form’s inflexibility was highlighted when we bent the shoe using our digital force gauge and it resisted with a 20.9N force, revealing a stiffness level higher than the average by 16.1%. On our walks, this equated to not having the most natural heel-to-forefoot shifts, but being incredibly supported.
Another thing that granted us superb comfort is the not-so-tight and not-so-wide fit of the shoe. While our caliper displayed that the toebox’s widest section measured 101.5 mm, which is 3.6 mm wider than most, due to the Vinces upper, this resulted in a dead-on accurate fit.
We encountered a dilemma on our chilly walks, though, as the midsole firmness and shoe stiffness increased to 40.9 HA and 32.8N in cold, respectively. This made the midsole 16.9% firmer and the shoe 14.3% stiffer than the averages. Therefore, we suggest keeping this information in mind before going on snowy trips with this shoe.
Pros
- Excellent for all-day wear
- ash maxi padded ankle boots item
- Great in-shoe comfort
- Non-constricting toebox
- Reflective elements
- Sustainable materials
- Appealing design
Cons
- Lacks durability (especially the upper)
- adidas zx 0006 x ray inside out low top sneakers item

What makes it the best?
Everything just clicked with On Cloudnova in terms of what makes a great mid-top walking shoe, that’s why it is our top choice for this category. It equipped us with an upheld sensation for our feet, which manifested in our side-to-side control and balance. Moreover, our toes are encased in pleasant snugness in this mid-cut bootie.
Diving into the dimensions of the shoe, we measured the part of the toebox with the greatest width to be 97.1 mm. This is not far from the average, which is only 0.8% wider. On our walks, this resulted in a nice, skin-tight fit, minus the blisters and stifling.
We also used our caliper to gauge the width of the base of Cloudnova. As expected, the midsole transpired to have a broad platform to stabilize us on our walks. It’s 116.9 mm in the forefoot and 91.1 mm in the heel, which are 6.6% and 3.4% wider than the average.
Even though Cloudnova has a mid-cut, we are still able to sport it without filling the shoe with our sweat. As it appeared in our breathability test, the shoe’s upper unleashed a good fraction of the smoke we pumped inside, so we rated its ventilation a 3/5. This is enough for our daily walks, but not for super humid days. However, this mid-top bears a weight of 10.69 oz (303g), which is 18.4% heavier than the standard. If weight is a significant aspect for you, we recommend checking out other lighter options.
Pros
- Perfect for all-day wear
- product eng 1029306 Inuikii Sneaker Felt 70202 52 BEIGE shoes
- Attractive design
- Comfortable in-shoe feel
- Fits well straight from the box
- High quality
- 10% recycled materials
Cons
- Pricey
- Sole catches debris
- Mid-cut is not for everyone

What makes it the best?
Upon punching in countless hours in the lab and out on the streets and trails, we determined that the best waterproof On walking shoes is Neuman Shoes K100152 Waterproof. This shoe is so much more than its ability to ward off liquid. Wearing it round-the-clock doesn’t punish the toes, but it makes every moment count with its magnificent feeling all over the feet. And sporting it for lengthy hours every single day doesn’t pose any quality problem as it is also heavy-duty.
To learn more about the shoe’s material, we examined its upper through a bright light and our microscope. The first test showed an unlit upper, not even a shade of light passing through. Our microscope, on the other hand, displayed a super interwoven upper. Ultimately, both proved one thing: Cloud 5 Waterproof is airtight and watertight. Durability-wise, this shoe is smashing, too. We measured the hardness and thickness of the outsole at 84.0 HC and 3.3 mm. They are both over their averages by 10.7% and 22.22%. Simply said, it would take a long and tough time before you penetrate the outsole.
On our all-day escapades, we found this shoe non-exhausting. In the lab, we discovered that the midsole is 30.4 HA hard, which is 7.8% firmer than average. This gave the foam an optimal balance between dreamy comfort and A1 support.
However, this is not the case during winter. We shoved the shoe into our freezer for 20 minutes and measured the midsole hardness once again. It didn’t only firm up by 41.9% but the midsole became 10% harder than average. Hence, we recommend sporting other cold-ready shoes during chilly seasons.
Pros
- Perfect for all-day wear
- hiking boots keddo 818579 09 02e blue
- Easy on-and-off
- Amazing in-shoe feel
- Sustainable materials (40%)
- and a pair of Victorian-inspired lace-up boots featuring a comfortable walking heel

What makes it the best?
The On walking shoe that we can never skip for our trail adventures is the On Cloudaway. It’s superbly equipped for the demands of trail walking, especially with a base and overall structure that fortify our footwork on our hikes. What makes it a done deal is the tough outsole that doesn’t diminish even after miles.
Even after long-distance off-road walks, we didn’t feel a hint of weariness on our legs and feet because of the shoe’s extra supportive footbed. We analyzed this in our lab and with the help of our durometer, we recorded a midsole hardness of 32 HA. While this is 27% firmer than average, it kept us well-balanced. Cloudaway also has an accommodating fit that preserves the comfort throughout our treks. Employing our caliper, we acquired the width of the widest part of the toebox to be 103.1 mm. This gives our toes 5.2 mm extra space compared to the average.
When it comes to durability, based on our trail walks alone, Cloudaway’s outsole could last for a long time as it didn’t even thin out after using it for a long period. This was also the case when we exposed it to our Dremel, as the tool only trimmed 0.7 mm of the outsole, which is 56.3% less than the average, proving its robustness.
However, it took a while before our feet got dry from sweat because of the insufficient airflow of the shoes. When we examined the upper under our microscope, it became clearer why: the upper is closed shut. Due to this, we recommend individuals who can’t deal with sweaty feet to search for breathable pairs.

What makes it the best?
Aside from sterling and uninterrupted airflow, On Cloudrift’s features are geared toward delivering dreamy comfort from sunrise to sunset. Our feet are always in a state of relief whenever we wear this pair, which is why this is our top breathable walking shoe from On!
We peeked at the Cloudrift’s upper through our microscope to closely inspect its construction and how it affects breathability. We observed that the material had large gaps that enabled the unrestricted air passage on our feet. Supplementing the breezy sensation is the lightness of the Cloudrift. Our scale entered an 8.71 oz (247g) weight, which is more lightweight than the average by 3.5%.
It was also unchallenging for us to take our every step in Cloudrift as it synced to the movement of our feet. Upon testing its flexibility, we learned that it is easily influenced by bending. It only resisted the force with 11N, indicating that it’s 38.9% more flexible than other walking shoes and that it supports natural heel-to-toe strides.
However, with our caliper, we also found that this shoe’s tongue is not padded at all. It’s only 0.5 mm thick, which is an 87.2% downgrade from the average. While this facilitated unhindered ventilation, this is a minor trade-off in comfort. If generous padding is a requirement for you, we suggest checking out other shoes.
