On - Cloudflow 5

I like On and Brooks (both work well for my feet). Typically with the On shoes, I get about 500 miles per pair (I use Cloud Monster for easy days and Cloudflow for more aggressive runs). However, I can’t emphasize enough the other suggestions to go to a running store and have them help you find shoes that work for you. Most places will watch you walk and run, some will have you stand on a device that measures all sorts of stuff about your feet. However, it seems they all will bring out several models that *should* work for you and have you run around a bit in each trying to decide which feels best to you. I look at buying a new pair of running shoes like it is a little self pampering treat.

1. Endorphin Elite 2 (best racer i have ever tried and it isnt even close) 2. Metaspeed Sky Paris (so light and responsive but too firm for marathon) 3. Cloudmonster Hyper (comfy, speedy when needed, lasted 700 miles) 4. Nimbus 27 (new daily, so good for easy pace) 5. Nimbus 26 (comfy but slightly firmer) 6. Evo SL (not lived up to the hype but can do most things pretty well) 7. 1080 v14 (comfy but dull) 8. Superblast 2 (not as good as the hype for me) 9. Cloudflow 5 (got it for free and 230 miles later they still feel like running on bricks)

I became a HUGE fan of ONs after trying several different types. I tried Hoka, NB, ASICS, and Nike. Ended up with ONs. My go to running shoe is the cloudflow. Started wearing them in 2020 and haven’t had any other running shoe since.

Neither because I’ve tried both for running and they don’t work well for me. You need to go to a store and try stuff out.

On Cloud! It’s the only show that works for me. I also have a wide midfoot. Hoka’s run too narrow.

they have gotten expensive apparently... I have a few pairs of On running Cloud.. Ran a few marathons in them... Best shoes I have had

I'm currently running with On Clouds. My feet often get wet during nearly every run, so I'm now exploring waterproof Hoka shoes. I haven't tried Hoka before, but if anyone has experience with the Transport or GTX models, I’d appreciate their insights.

Which endorphin speeds are the best to buy? I just ran my first half marathon recently I run about 2:20 and I run daily in on clouds but I just feel like after running in them for a few weeks they slreasy start to feel worn. I want a good race day shoe since as I’m getting better I want to improve. I saw the 4s and 5s but for some reason they show the 4 to be more expensive. What do u recommend?

I try to buy my shoes from REI whenever possible. You can return them up to a year, even worn, if you're a member. It's well worth it to be able to actually do some runs in them before making the call. They resell the used returns in store at a discount. If I am buying from my local running store, I try to test them on a treadmill, even though I loathe treadmill running. So far, the only shoes in my collection that I don't like are the on clouds I bought online without being able to test them.
