How do ON Running shoes fit compared to Nike?
Both ON Running and Nike fit are pretty comfortable. They have a good width and will not restrict you in any way.
However, I find the fit of ON Running to be slightly more comfortable than Nike, especially in the toe-box.
Otherwise, both the brands are true to size and you need not go up or down a size. In most of the models, ON Running has wide fitting available which is not the case with Nike.
The only thing with ON Running that I don’t like is that it doesn’t have a lot of sizes available. Nike on the other hand has a lot more sizes available and that makes it a better fit for runners with smaller or much bigger foot sizes.
