Reviewing the Much-Anticipated On Cloudaway 2 Sizing

Reviewing the Much-Anticipated "On Cloudaway 2 Sizing"

Sizing is the most important factor when choosing shoes. We have summarized the actual fit regarding the sizing of the On Cloudaway 2.
If you choose your usual sneaker size, the toe length will be a perfect fit, but there is a tendency to feel a slight tightness in the foot width and instep height.

  • For serious sports or outdoor use: If you want to firmly secure your feet, we recommend your usual size.
  • For everyday wear and city use: If you prefer a more relaxed fit, we recommend going half a size up.

The On Cloudaway 2 is designed with a slightly narrow opening, creating a structure that firmly holds the heel.
Therefore, even if you go half a size up for a looser fit, the heel is unlikely to slip, maintaining a great fit.
