Gardenia Pink Cloud 6 Sneakers Women

While some user reviews report discomfort and blisters with the standard fit, the availability of a wide version is noted as offering a better fit for some wearers.

Product Insights
The On Cloud 6 Women's sneaker is a firm, low, controlled ride built for walking rather than all-day standing: its bio-based Zero-Gravity CloudTec foam softens on impact but firms toward toe-off, and a TPU Speedboard stiffens the midfoot, reducing twist and supporting the arch—a combination that aided a plantar-fasciitis tester and delivered 25,000-step walking comfort, yet felt fatiguing during 8-hour standing shifts and is noticeably firmer and less cushioned than the Cloud 5. The fit is a split: the midfoot is narrow (causing blisters within half a mile for some buyers), the toe box is roomier than the Cloud 5, and sizing inconsistency between left and right shoes has been reported. Durability also raises concerns: after six months of daily wear, exposed CloudTec pods compress, thinning the shoe's already limited cushioning, with sole separation and mesh tearing reported. The mesh upper is breathable and 35% recycled but not waterproof, and wet-weather wear requires a separate version. At a $99.95 CAD price (though its $160 list price is $60 more than the Allbirds Tree Runner NZ and $5 more than the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25), the Cloud 6 offers a 27mm heel/19mm forefoot stack with an 8mm drop—higher than Allbirds—yet reviewers still favor the Cloud 5 for comfort, finding this model good only for short walks and casual wear, not true all-day standing.
Verified claims
- Fit
- Midfoot is narrow; some buyers report blisters within half a mile.
- Sizing
- Some pairs fit differently between the left and right shoes.
- Ride
- Firm, low and controlled ride — for walking, not long standing.
- Underfoot feel
- Firm and controlled, not plush — Cloud 5 owners find the 6 firmer and less cushioned.
- Arch support
- A plantar-fasciitis tester found the firm foam and Speedboard more supportive than ultra-cushioned shoes.
- Cushion longevity
- A six-month owner reports the CloudTec pods compress, leaving the firm ride firmer.
- Standing fatigue
- Buyers report 25,000-step walking comfort, but 8-hour standing shifts feel fatiguing.
- Cushioning
- Hollow CloudTec pods soften at impact and firm toward toe-off; testers call the ride firm, almost rigid.
- Materials
- Midsole is bio-based Zero-Gravity CloudTec foam; mesh upper is 35% recycled.
- Stability
- The Speedboard shank resists midfoot twist, keeping the arch supported under load.
- Cloud 5 comparison
- Cloud 6 is narrower and more blister-prone than Cloud 5, though the toe box is roomier.
- Wet traction
- An editor found the Cloud 6 gripped wet subway platforms through several rainy days.
- Comfort
- Reviewers favor the Cloud 5's comfort over the firmer, less cushioned Cloud 6.
- Use case
- Reviewers find it good for short walks and casual wear, but disappointing for true all-day standing.
- Value
- At $160 list, it costs $60 more than the Allbirds Tree Runner NZ and $5 more than the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 25.
- Stack height
- 27mm heel / 19mm forefoot stack with an 8mm drop sits about 7-9mm higher than the Allbirds Tree Runner NZ.
- Firmness
- A firm ride that helped a plantar-fasciitis tester and long walks, but not 8-hour standing; it feels firmer than the Cloud 5.
- Durability
- After six months of daily wear the exposed CloudTec pods compress, and sole separation and mesh tearing have been reported.
- Speedboard
- The TPU Speedboard acts as a shank, stiffening the midfoot and resisting sole twist.
- Water resistance
- The standard Cloud 6 is not waterproof; its mesh upper prioritizes breathability.
- Weight
- Each shoe weighs 216 g (7.6 oz).
- Breathability
- Mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof; On offers separate waterproof versions.
- CloudTec pods
- Six months of daily wear compresses the CloudTec pods and thins the shoe's limited cushioning.
- Weather
- These standard Cloud 6 sizes are breathable, not waterproof; wet-weather wear needs a different version.

Shoe store employee finds Cloud 6 uncomfortable
The cloud 6s were really uncomfortable for me and definitely not the ones I recommend to customers. On running shoes are pretty good so I’d suggest either the cloud tilts or cloud swifts.

User ranks Cloud 6 in bottom 10% for comfort
I own 3 pairs of the Cloud 6 in different colors and the only reason I have them is because they’re convenient to slip on and off. But I’d say they are in the bottom 10% of comfort (I’ve recently worn the Nike Vomero Plus, Nike Infinity RN, New Balance 1022, New Balance More Foam, Brooks Adrenaline, and a few others).

User reports Cloud 6 caused blisters and inconsistent sizing
I had the same experience! I had the OnCloud 5 and they were great. The 6 are terrible and gave me terrible blisters after 1/2 mile walk. Also, the left and right shoe aren’t the same !

User finds Cloud 6 fits better than Cloud 5, wide version available
I tried on the Cloud 6s and they seemed to fit better. I also noticed that REI had a “wide” version option as well.
