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.
If you have additional questions about the On Cloud X 3 versus the On Cloud 5, drop a comment below or reach out to me personally via Instagram (@jake_boly or @that_fit_friend).

    @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.

    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.

  • @thatfitfriend

    @thatfitfriend

    Жыл бұрын

    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.

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.
