A hallmark of many of the brand’s styles, “CloudTec” is composed of differently shaped holes that cover the external and bottom surfaces of the shoes, according to the lawsuit. At least 11 of On’s sneaker styles are referenced in the lawsuit, including the Cloud 5 and Cloud 6, CloudMonster, and Cloudrunner, among others. Lawyers for the plaintiffs did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A representative for On said the company does not comment on ongoing legal matters. According to the lawsuit, “CloudTec” was created to “provide cushioned support when wearers land.” But according to plaintiffs, the technology “rubs together” when wearers walk or run, “causing a noisy and embarrassing squeak with each and every step.” The lawsuit, however, admits that while the squeaky shoes are “seemingly inconsequential,” the company has allegedly refused to provide refunds to those who are unhappy with their sneakers, leaving customers with “no relief after buying almost $200 shoes they can no longer wear without their doing significant DIY modifications to the shoe.” “No reasonable consumer would purchase Defendant’s shoes — or pay as much for them as they did — knowing each step creates an audible and noticeable squeak,” the lawsuit states. Nurses and those who are on their feet all day “bear the brunt of this defect,” the suit argues, which allegedly causes “issues for consumers in their daily lives.” According to the lawsuit, complaints about the squeaking have been widespread and documented on TikTok and Reddit, where customers share “DIY” remedies for the noisy shoes, including rubbing coconut oil on the soles or sprinkling baby powder inside the sneaker. The lawsuit alleges the company is aware of its squeaky sneakers, but its warranty does not cover reports of noisy soles as On characterizes them as “normal wear and tear,” and has stated in online comments that “squeaking isn’t currently classified as a production defect.” The lawsuit also alleges that the company can better make its products to avoid squeakiness, but that On has “done nothing” to remedy the issue. Plaintiffs allege they have suffered an “ascertainable loss” due to fraudulent business practices and a “deceptive marketing scheme,” and are seeking “compensatory, statutory, and punitive damages” as well as refunds on their squeaky sneakers.
