Looking for a new pair of On Shoes and not sure which size to get? Check out our guide to find the perfect size On Shoe for you, and shop with confidence! And check out our On Shoe Size Chart to figure out the exact size.
On Cloud Shoes come in a lot of different styles, supports, and sizes.
It’s not always easy to find your exact size in a new shoe. So, find the right fit using these tips and tricks.
- Figure out the activities and environments you’re going to use your On Clouds in.
If you’re running, exercising, or hiking, that’ll make a difference in the fit you need. If you’re wearing them out and about, with casual or work wear, you’ll have different needs from the fit.
Take your shoe measurements.
The easiest way to get your foot measured is heading out to one of our stores, but you can do it at home too. Measuring your foot is super easy. Check out this guide from WikiHow to get your foot measurements. Now, you can compare that measurement to the shoe’s size in Centimeters. Use our On Size Chart to find the perfect fit!
- Do you need additional support for pronation or injuries?
Pronation is simply the natural roll of your foot to the left or right. Sometimes you need more support to counteract the long-term effects of it. You can find more info here.
Now that you know your activity, support needs, and foot measurements, let’s check out some On-Clouds! A general rule of thumb with On-Cloud’s is that they fit like most running shoes, with a few exceptions.
For runners who need a cushioned, lightning-fast shoe:
If we just described you, look for a solid heel lock and forefoot strike for controlled and explosive takeoffs. On’s running options include daily trainers like the Cloudswift and the Cloudrunner. These running styles feature a classic fit and match your normal size, most of the time. Although, you should go a half-size smaller from your size in Nike Flyknit or Asics shoes.
If you’re used to running in more cushioned shoes like Brooks, ASICS, or Hoka, you want a shoe with space. Go for a more supportive shoe like the Cloudmonster for road-running, and the Cloudultra for trail-running. These shoes feature a roomy fit with enhanced midsole support. So, they’re perfect for flat-footed runners who need extra toebox space.
For everyday wear, so you can stay comfortable and stylish:
Comfortable and stylish, in other words, the iconic and updated Cloud 5 is a great choice. This updated style is easy to fit as the updated style is true to size. This makes them great for everyday wear and travel. Usually, your best bet is to go with your regular size. If you jump between half-sizes often though, it’s better to go with the half-size up.
Wider feet struggle to find the perfect fit since the Cloud features a narrow toebox and a roomier heel. If your size in Nike or Asics feels slightly tight or takes some breaking in, try a half-size down in the Clouds. *Insider tip: some women with a wider foot find success in the men’s style as it is naturally a wider profile.
Overall, it’s simple to find your size in On-Cloud running shoes. Look at your normal shoe sizes and know the basic shape and needs of your foot. Knowing this, as well as the ideal fit and performance for your activities, is crucial. That way, you can get your next pair of Clouds with confidence! And remember, if you need help, feel free to reach out to us in-store or online via webchat or phone, we’re happy to help! Enjoy life in the Clouds.
