The On Cloud X 3 and On Cloud 5 are two of the most popular On shoes for working out and daily wear.
If you've been wondering about the On Cloud X 3 versus the On Cloud 5 and how they compare - you're not alone. I get a lot of questions about both of these shoes in my On Shoe reviews.
In this On Cloud 5 versus On Cloud X 3 video, I'll break down all of the key differences that you should know between these models.
0:00 4 Major Differences
3:02 Best for Cross-Training?
4:34 Best for Daily Wear?
6:02 Sizing Comparison
6:53 Price Breakdown
8:01 Weight, Drop, and Insole
8:35 Construction Comparison
11:13 Final Remarks
Overall, I do like the On Cloud 5 and the On Cloud X 3, but for slightly different reasons.
The On Cloud X 3 can be a viable training shoe for the hybrid-focused lifter and for daily wear, and the On Cloud 5 can be a good slip-on daily wear and travel-friendly shoe.
That being said, both of these shoes are expensive so I'd make sure their performance and fit align with your needs before investing in them.

Thank you for this review! I bought a pair of Cloud 5 today with the intention of gym use. Going back tomorrow to exchange it for the X3. :)
Awesome! Think you’ll be way happier with that decision 💪
digging the background music here. very well done
Thank you! 🤝
Impressive! Very informative just what I needed!!
Let’s gooo!
Thanks Jake. Great comparision video.
Thank you 🤝
Thank you for this review. I am grateful.
Thank you for checking it out!
Good review, i bought x3 for badminton
Reebok Nano were my preferred option for gym/cross training. But the new model really messed up the sizing. So now I’m back in the market for a different brand. Going to give these X3s a try! You are right, On is poor at making it clear what each of their shoes intended use is.
Let me know how you like them! Keen for your thoughts
@thatfitfriend well these do NOT run true to size. I’m 9.5 in everything and had to go down to 8.5 for these. Haven’t yet worked out in them, but can already tell I’ll probably return them. Seems too tight but cant go any higher because theres too much room in the toe box and my heel moves too much. I feel like there’s not a company on earth that makes a decent shoe for functional fitness.
@@blaisebanko3487 hmm interesting. Wonder if this last is just no bueno for your foot anatomy.
Adidas Dropset trainer 2, Reebok Nano X3, RAD ONE, TYR CXT 1 Trainer, all models that are stronger than On shoes for functional fitness, imo.
@@thatfitfriend well the Nano screwed up this years model so bad it no longer fits my foot. Idk how a company makes a mistake that bad, but they did.
Is this guy sponsored by Reebok or something
So many New Yorkers wear On shoes that I am intrigued LOL. I was gonna go to the On flagship store earlier today but decided against it after reading so many negative reviews on google. Was able to see check these shoes at a shoe store on west 72nd St. They were okay. Lolz
Right!?!? The official shoe of equinox, LOL.
My thoughts, too, fine…but expensive af and hit or miss on many accounts.
@@thatfitfriend On shoes and hoka shoes so many New Yorkers are wearing for running LOL. I am okay with the training shoes you recommended - bought Nobull court trainer and Metcon 7. Also found and bought a metcon 4 & 6 from Ebay 🤓The Reebok nanos are too big for me.
Thank you so much for review (s)...they are the best! Hoping you could suggest an On shoe (or other). I would like a shoe for gym use (cross training and light weights). I have a mild case of knee osteoarthritis and high arches so I would like a stable show with good impact absorption and cannot use a narrow shoe due to my high arches (need more fabric). Thanks!
Welcome! Thank you for checking them out.
I’d go CloudPulse for those asks!
Hi Jake, appreciate the detailed review here. I’m on the market for a new pair of shoes for both walking & lifting weights / some more casual HIIT. I was looking into the Cloud X 3, but have never owned On shoes and honestly think they are overhyped. I love my Clifton 8s - but i hear they are not good for working out. Comfort is something i’m really looking for as well (i have average feet size 9.5) Do you have any recommendations outside of On for this hybrid use case i’m looking for? Perhaps a different model Hoka? I’ve also heard UltraBoosts may be a good fit for this purpose and have owned them before and liked them.
The Cloud X 3 could work, but I'd suggest trying it on in-store if possible!
Ultraboosts are okay if you're only going to do light strength work and have a primary cardio bias.
The UA HOVR Rise models can be decent options here. You could also explore something like an Altra Solstice XT 2 if you wanted a zero-drop hybrid-esque training shoe.
Hi BenjMayne, I bought a pair of Clifton 8s and Altra Solstice XT2, the same size as you and for almost the same reason. From my experience, I must say that Hoka quality is much better than this Altra's model, or I just got a bad apple... I use the Clifton 8s as daily drivers and occasional runs.
I use the Solstice XT2 for crossfit and after 2 months of training the grippier black parts on my altra solstice sole started ungluing/peeling from the white rubber. Furthermore toe protection also started ungluing from the sole. The blue colored stripe on the side (near the sole) started fading to white only after 4 months, but the same has happened to my black stripe on white sole on the Clifton 8s.
Either way, I've glued the parts on my Altra and still use them for crossfit. Love the zero drop, toe space and are quite good when running for 3/4k. Even worked out much better than I expected for rope climbs (quite grippy).
In the end I think I just got a pair from a bad batch where the glue didn't cure properly, but they work quite well for crossfit, so they'll do just fine for cross training.
Hey Jake new to the channel and new to the world of training shoes can you suggest some training shoes for mostly cardio but lifting aswell and that good for a wider foot
For sure! How much cardio regarding miles do you plan to hit each week?
Great video! Thanks! Quick question, which shoe is good for standing on your feet and a lot of walking throughout the day? Also, need Wider foot, Thanks
I'd go On Cloud X 3. They fit a little wider and will give you more range for activities!
Hey jake pretty new here to your channel I seen some in the past but I have question on some of the best lifting shoes for under armor such as squats and deadlifts as well as being a comfortable wear around shoe all day. I currently use project rock 2, by far my favorite and comfortable for the project rock line, I’m not a fan of 4 for lifting wise but would love to know some top picks u can recommend. Also just notice a 5th shoe under rock came out curious on if you have any reviews on it
Hey - welcome, brother! Check out the UA TriBase Reign 4/5. You might want to try 4 out first since you can likely find them on sale. They're a really strong model for lifting/cross-training!
@@thatfitfriend
Thanks will definitely take a look
Pretty wild I love my cloud 5 they are so comfy and felt great at the gym
Dig it!
Bought the x3 for OTF and it’s been good!
Ayyy happy to hear that!
I tried the cloud 5 in the store but as I wanted to be more specific for gym training (squat, lunge, cardio, jump rope ...) I opted for the 3 but to my great despair, they hurt on the side of my ankle.😩
What other model would you suggest?
Hmmm, if you like that plush feel of those models look into the PUMA PWR Nitro Squared. Wicked bouncy and HIIT-biased!
@@thatfitfriend Hey thank you for that fast reply! What do you think about the PUMA x LEMLEM NITRO™ Luxe ? I'm surprise about the inclination of the 2 models. I thought a training show need to be flat 🤔. But I love the colors of the LEMLEM 🤩.
X3 looked cooler but so uncomfortable I had to go with the cloud 5 for working out
What on cloud shoe would you recommend for heavy weights ?
None of them, lol. The CloudTec midsole in every model I've worn always starts to compress and give way around 275 lbs
What would be the best on cloud shoe for walking all day long at work
I’d go cloud x 3 despite the 5 being designed for daily wear. You get more range with them and they’re wider!
Hi I need a shoe for school and a everyday wear I don’t really go to a gym or workout I just need a shoe that’s comfortable. So do you think that I should get a x3 or a cloud 5???😃
Cloud 5 would likely be fine!
I just bought some cloud X 3s just for standing around at work. I hope I didn’t make a mistake 😭
You should be fine, but please keep me posted!
Have you tried the cloud X3 AD? I’m looking for a shoe for traveling Europe this summer.
They're on my "to buy" list and grabbing a pair this week from REI!
What is the difference between cloud 5 and cloud 5 combo?
Great question...I believe it's a slight diff in upper and materials used, but it's even tough for me to tell the difference, LOL.
I have owned a couple of pairs of On's. I'm not feeling the hype at all. The funky style makes me come back to take a look at new models but ultimately they all have the same problem - lack of durability, fit on the narrower side, flat/low cushioning and most have a sole that is a magnet for rocks and pebbles to get snagged in between the grooves. Hey On, have you ever walked on the ground??
These are bargain bin items, wouldn't pay more than $80-$100 for any pair.
Hit the nail on the head. I feel super similar in those regards!
Which is better for traveling and a lot of walking?
I'd go Cloud X 3!
5 has more cushioning, 5 was for walking and general use.
@@PipenFalzy durability ain’t there, tho, so I always rec the X 3. Plus, you can work out in them and they’re wider. Major Cushioning diff is pretty negligible, too 🤷🏼♂️
bought a couple of pairs of 'on' a few years ago.....great for running, road or sand, comfortable in the gym....BUT...they both fell apart around six months ........ very expensive for poor build quality!
Feels. You’re not alone. That’s been a lot of the comments I’ve received from others and one of my gripes, too 😬
key word folks! "few years ago"...
Those rubber pads don't last long. I wore a pair when I went to Japan. Walked through a little downpour. Suddenly, those square pads started coming off.
Classic On shoes. Durability varies so much
Which model
@@Mike604 most of em, tbh! Can be super variables
Which is better for standing 10hour work
Both will be fine! I think if you plan to work out at all in them then the X 3 is the move tho!
Got mines from Goodwill for $8.00 dollars.
Let’s go!
Mines? Why do you add an “s”?
Because he’s black not trying to be racist
cool
You cool
JAKKEE ! My guy
What the fuck is going on
Ayyy, not much. Chillin like a villain, you?
Just came across your channel for the 1st time with your previous video on x3. Kismet
Ayy, welcome! Thank you for checking out the content.
What's the best shoe for just running or for people that work on their feet for 10+ hours 🥲
In general or between these two shoes?
