Back in June 2016, I did a google search for "running shoes wide forefeet", and I discovered the On-Running shoes that day. I literally went to Lexington, MA, to buy this pair of shoes, because that's the only place around here that stocks this shoe. That pair was 10.5, and I wear 10 on the Brannock. Anyways, that shoe was very good, and it was also the best looking shoe ever for me.

I then bought another almost identical pair to the shoe from June 2016. This time, I increased the size to 11, and that was even better. I've always had problems with contusions in my toe nails (i.e. my toe nails becoming constricted), but ever since I went up half a size, I've had NO problems.

With my size 11 shoes, I ran a few half marathons, and recently, I ran the Cambridge Second Annual Half Marathon on November 19th in the rain. I also take them to the gym, and best of all, I CAN PUT THEM ON LIKE A SLIPPER.

First the not-so-good: Cloud version 1 picks up rocks in the tread sometimes. End of that list.
Now the good. Light, responsive, excellent cushioning, long-lasting, great road feel, yet after my first marathon, my feet felt no different than had I run an easy recovery run.
The feel is like the shoes aren't there or they are part of you. They reward effort - the harder you run, the more responsive they become. Snappy quick. Despite the light weight and quick feel, they're the perfect half marathon and marathon shoe. On my first speed workout, I shed an aggregate 26s from a 4 x 1k effort. Fastest 1k, 1 mi, 5k, 10k, 8 mi, half and full (BQ) have come wearing these shoes. Usually I expect 250k from a pair of shoes that provides this performance. At 500+k, I finally decided to retire them... and pulled my next pair of Clouds from the box.

The best running shoes ever. I have ran with them throughout 2017 and have achieved PBs at 5k, 10k, half marathon and marathon. Great fit, comfortable and lightweight. All this and injury free, cannot recommend enough as the title says FANTASTIC!!
