This Not That: On Cloud 6 Sneakers

I bought my first pair of On Clouds years ago, thinking they’d be worth the splurge—especially since I planned to use them for weightlifting. Unfortunately, they turned out to be a poor choice for lifting (ugh!), so I ended up using them as my walking shoes instead.

While they’re undeniably cute, I was surprised by how quickly the toe area started peeling. I only used them for walking, and they looked worn out way faster than expected. Most of my shoes last at least two years, but these didn’t hold up at all. I can’t imagine how they’d look if I had actually used them for intense workouts.

Luckily, I found a great pair of dupes last week, and they’ve officially become my new walking shoes. They’re super comfy, easy to slip on and off, and come in the cutest color options. I sized up by half, and I’m so glad I did. I’m not sure how they’d perform under heavy activity, but for everyday walking, they’re perfect—and adorable.
