ON Cloudultra 3 Heren

The Quick & Dirty: With a wider platform, softer ride, and much-improved traction, the Cloudultra 3 finally feels like a complete trail shoe for those wanting max cushion. Just keep in mind the fit still favors narrower feet.

Just bought these, this is my first shoe of this brand. These shoes look cool. The metallic blue fade is unusual but subtle. These shoes were a little snug out of the box and the material they are made of is pretty stiff. This brings me to the material that they are made of. It’s not really cloth, there is absolutely nothing cozy or warm about these shoes. They’re more a mesh, resembling the mesh shopping bags that you use at REI in store. I knew these were not waterproof, but these look like I won’t be able to wear them in even the lightest weather. The fit and quality of these shoes seems excellent. I have to tie these very tight to keep my heel from slipping as the material inside the heel is slick. I love the fit of these shoes after wearing them on a few long dog walks but it looks like I will have to just store them for the winter.

Very comfortable and add a great spring to each step but I could not get over the squeakiness of these shoes! The worst I have ever encountered. I tried to give it some time thinking that they just needed to be broken in, but it never got better. The final straw was my mistake in wearing them to a museum, it was pretty embarrassing since everything else there was fairly quiet.

I've only logged a few 10k's on this shoe, but I have been happy with the fit and feel from the first footfalls, primarily on gravel and maintained trail. I write this review to point out something that wasn't apparent from the product description and pictures- the upper is all fairly large mesh.. so much so that your socks are visible through the screen. I bought the shoe thinking it looked like a trail runner for this fall/winter, as I usually don't go with waterproof options as they tend to be over-thick (IMO), and feet always end up wet anyway. This shoe is definitely a summer/desert shoe, and will be going back into the closet for the east coast fall/winter. I do plan on breaking it back out once the warm weather hits, though.

I was looking for a shoe for light trail running/walking. Reviews for this shoe was very positive. I liked the look so took the dive. They're keepers.
