I'm a big fan of On shoes but this is a terrible shoe. It's nothing like the regular Cloud X. It's narrower, feels completely different, and it has an awful see-though mesh on top. If you already have a pair of these and like them, OK. Stock up. But if you are new to them I'd steer clear.
Also FYI if you have never bough direct from ON, they use a 3rd party fulfillment company that I think literally must have it's head up you know where. Returns are a PITA. Twice my returns were received at the warehouse (per UPS tracking info) but the warehouse was unaware per CSR after research. I was refunded but a lot of work. At this point I never buy shoes direct from ON unless I'm familiar with them and know they will fit.
I'm a bonafide runner and On shoes are on my trainer on my rotations. The X, Cloudgo, and Cloudsurfer hands-down the most comfortable for my short and long-distance sessions even above my NB 1080 and Asc Gel Nimbus.
I do have one knock on it which is durability. I'm around 250 miles on the Cloudgo and the sole has significantly lost its energy return. I average around 400 miles on other shoes before I notice diminished performance
What works for me may not work for you and bashing what does not work for you is counter-productive.
I've seen other posts over on here throwing shade on first-responders for wearing the brand and I'm like, "These people are on their feet all day, so by experience, maybe they know a lot better about shoes than you chair surfers hunting for a deal"
Seems like brooks has ditched the runner community in search of mainstream use as well with guide rail gimmicks.
