On Running
Reviews & Experiences

Reviews in this set highlight two recurring consumer issues: repeated reports of loud squeaking or early defects in several shoe models, and inconsistent after-sales handling including delayed refunds and warranty denials. A smaller number of reviews praise product comfort, website navigation or prompt returns, so experiences vary by order and model. If you are considering a purchase, check the retailer’s return window, keep receipts and photos, and be prepared to follow up with customer service if a defect appears. For high-value purchases, consider buying from a local retailer with an easier in-person return option or confirm the brand’s documented warranty process before buying.
