Happy Friday! I've been branching out into other brands for footwear. I mentioned in a previous post I just don't think my Allbirds are cutting it anymore. Allbirds are more of a casual walking shoe. Anything over 10K, my feet start to hurt. I have tried Hokas, and they seem to be decent so far, I can walk 12K steps a day and haven't had issues. However, I am loving the On Cloudmoster Void even more!
For reference I typically wear size 5.5 in Allbirds which is my normal street size for sneakers and I am also wearing size 5.5 in On Cloudmonster Void.
On CloudMonster Void Ivory | Wolf Size 5.5
(Currently on sale for 20% off - $135)
I'm not a huge fan of logos on my shoes. I decided on this colorway because I love the light gray and lilac combo and it does have a big On logo, but it blends in nicely with the colors. It still has a minimalistic vibe.
This shoe has a 6mm heel to toe shoe drop. This is a good height if you're a heel to toe striker which I am. This is probably why I love this shoe for long walks. I walked over 15K in these on my second outing and I didn't have any pain in my feet at all! It has a wide toe box with plenty of room for my toes. Super comfortable and light weight.
The shoe opening at the ankle and tongue does not have a lot of give. This is the type of shoe where you need to lace them up every time. Not ideal, but I read that this is necessary for ankle stability. The shoe does come up a little high on my ankle bone, but by the second walk, there were no issues.

I don't love the sole, because it just looks like big messed up teeth, but maybe it'll grow on me. I think that's probably the main reason why I stayed away from On shoes for so long. I know they're an extremely popular brand right now, and I see them everywhere. I think they're more popular than Nikes at the moment.
These shoes have a lot of cushion. If you love the Cloudmonster shoe, you'll also love these. I also love the mesh upper. It feels very sturdy and high quality. They're are a bit pricey at $170. I am going to expect these to last me a long, long time.
Overall, I completely recommend these shoes. They're fantastic for walking, and true to size. I also want to try a pair of Brooks Ghost 16. I hear great things about this brand as well. Do you have a pair of On shoes?
That's it for me! I hope you all have a lovely weekend. 😊

I've never owned a pair of On shoes, but I really kind of like the look of the Cloudmonster Void. I laughed when you said the soles look like messed up teeth - I think they look like happy little honeycombs :). The fact that they come up a little high on the ankle, as you mentioned, would be a deal-breaker for me. I often have trouble with shoes rubbing on my ankle bones. I think it's a curse of having little feet!
ReplyDeleteAthleta is having a 25% of sale, so I caved and ordered the Wildberry With Ease Bubble Hem Tee, and the Apero Mesh Tank in Guava. Both colors are so pretty!
Hi Lola! Ha, I like your honeycomb visual better than mine lol. I have that problem with a lot of shoes too, when the shoe comes up too high on the ankle, I have a feeling it's because of small feet too, which is why I always stuck with Allbirds. I never had that issue. Ahhhh! I am trying not to look at Athleta, I have already spent a lot on them this year, so much more than Lulu!
DeleteThanks for telling me about what's cool these days - I'm a frumpy mom and want to give cool gifts. lol
