  • I am 35 and wear them as my primary walk around the city. They are comfortable. I wouldn’t run in any because feel like all models have too much bottom/tread/whatever. - By harbaughdyssey September 18, 2026 at 11:41:33 AM

  • I’ve heard of And One but not On Cloud. Sounds Chinese like Super Dry.* - By Lodz September 18, 2026 at 10:24:10 AM
  • they are popular and high end. I splurged. 200 is too much for casual running shoes but I'm not 18 anymore and they are comfortable* - By chiwalker September 18, 2026 at 10:14:04 AM
    • Is it like the All Birds craze from a while back? Assuming it’s another shoe fad that will collapse but then again I know nothing about shoes* - By LS&Play September 18, 2026 at 10:19:55 AM
      • don't think so. I liked all birds but they were ugly. Comfortable at first but then just like any other shoe. All birds was massively aided by 1 NYT article - By chiwalker September 18, 2026 at 10:34:08 AM
