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.

Kristopher Robel 5/5

I recently purchased a pair of running shoes from On Running, and I have to say that I am beyond impressed with my experience. From start to finish, everything was seamless.

First off, the website was incredibly easy to navigate. The clean design made it simple for me to browse through all their products and find what I wanted quickly. When I found the pair of shoes that caught my eye, placing an order was a breeze.

The shipping process also went smoothly - before I knew it, my package had arrived at my doorstep. And when I opened up the box and tried on my new kicks? It was like walking on clouds! The comfort level is unparalleled; every step feels cushioned yet secure thanks to their innovative technology.

I've taken these shoes out on runs multiple times now, and they're holding up fantastically well. They haven't shown any signs of wear or tear even though they’ve gone through some tough terrains which shows the durability of the brand.

Overall, On Running has definitely won me over as a customer for life. Their attention to detail in terms of both design and functionality is truly impressive. If you're in need of high-quality athletic footwear that will stand up against rigorous activity without compromising comfort
