I had Cloudea 1 and honestly stopped wearing them after a few weeks. They were fine, but nothing special. Cloudea 2.0 feels like a different universe. The comfort is unreal.
The old version hurt my feet after a long day. With Cloudea 2.0, I wore them for 10 hours straight at work and felt ZERO pain. I can’t believe it’s the same brand.
I used to complain about the arch support in Cloudea 1. They’ve completely fixed it. My posture literally feels corrected. The previous version feels like garbage compared to this.
Cloudea 1 looks cheap next to these. The 2.0 design and materials are muuuch better, my friends thought I bought a $300 pair
I was really skeptical when they asked me to test their new version preview. They really listened. Cloudea 1 had so many problems: sizing, comfort, materials. Cloudea 2.0 destroyed every single issue. It feels like a brand-new company LOL 😂
I owned Cloudea 1 and it lived in my closet. The sizing was weird and the support wasn’t there. The 2.0 fits perfectly and the arch support is insane
I returned my shoes last year. DeFlorance asked me to try the 2.0 version early, and said yes only to see if they had fixed the pain. They did. Ten-hour standing shift, no hotspots, no swelling. I’m still shocked.
I was invited to test Cloudea 2.0 before launch. I did a 12-hour hospital shift and felt zero pain. With Cloudea 1 my feet started burning by hour 4. 2.0 makes the old pair feel unwearable. I’m buying two more colors.
OK here's the thing. I'm 57. I've had foot problems since my 30s. Bunions. Heel spurs. Neuropathy from diabetes. I've spent more money on shoes than I want to admit - we're talking Hokas, Brooks, Vionics, those ugly Dansko clogs, custom orthotics that cost me $400. NOTHING worked for more than a month. My feet just hurt. That was my life.
My daughter kept sending me ads for these and I kept ignoring her because I was DONE. Done hoping. Done spending money. She bought them for my birthday anyway because she's stubborn like me lol.
First day I wore them to work I kept waiting for the pain to start. It didn't. Second day, same thing. It's been 6 weeks now. I did Black Friday on my feet for 11 hours and came home without crying for the first time in I don't know how long.
I own 3 pairs now. I threw away my Hokas. I'm not being dramatic when I say these gave me my life back. I tell everyone. My coworkers are sick of hearing about them probably 😂
Let me start by saying I NEVER write reviews. Never. But I need people to know.
I'm a labor & delivery nurse. I do 12-14 hour shifts running around on hard floors. My feet, my knees, my lower back - everything hurt. I thought that was just part of the job. You deal with it.
A nurse on night shift had these on and I asked about them bc they looked expensive and I'm nosy lol. She said DeFlorance and I'd never heard of it. Went home and ordered that night.
It's been almost 2 months. The back pain is basically gone. My feet don't throb when I get home. I feel stupid saying a shoe did this but I don't know what else changed. I bought backups because if they ever stop making these I will lose my mind.
ER nurse here. 12 hour shifts on concrete. I've tried everything and I mean EVERYTHING. Hokas were my go-to for years but they wear out so fast and cost $180 every time. These are half the price and honestly better?? The arch support is different - more natural feeling. I'm on my third week wearing them exclusively and my plantar fasciitis is actually improving. Bought a backup pair because I'm scared they'll discontinue them lol
So I returned my Cloudeas last year. The sizing was weird and after a few hours my arches hurt. Threw them in my closet and forgot about them. Then I got an email asking if I'd try "the new version" and I almost deleted it but whatever, I gave them a chance.
I don't know what they changed but it's not even the same shoe. I wore them for a full shift yesterday (I'm a teacher, lots of standing) and nothing. No pain, literally nothing.
I was ready to trash this company and now I'm writing a 5 star review. They actually fixed it. I'm impressed
THESE SHOES. Let me tell you about these shoes. I've had plantar fasciitis for going on 4 years now. Four years of pain every morning. Four years of trying everything. My podiatrist had me in custom orthotics, special stretches, night splints, the whole thing.
These shoes did more in 3 weeks than all of that.
I'm not saying they cured me. I still have PF. But the daily pain is so much less. I can actually walk my dog again without dreading it. That's huge for me.
Wish I could give 10 stars!!!!!! Best shoes I've ever owned and I'm not exaggerating. Got them for my trip to Italy walked probably 10 miles a day for a week NO BLISTERS. My husband was miserable in his "hiking shoes" meanwhile I'm fine in these cute sneakers. Everyone asked where I got them
I have wide feet and a high arch. Finding shoes has been a nightmare my entire life. Everything either crushes my pinky toe or has zero support.
These fit. Like actually fit. I didn't have to "break them in" or suffer for two weeks. Put them on, walked around, no pain. That's never happened to me.
They're also cute which honestly I'd given up on. I just wanted functional. Getting both feels illegal somehow lol
