- If the goal is to wear a comfortable shoe that's acceptable in the office the On fits that pretty well.

- Hokas look so bad as streetwear imo. Same with ON.
- ON are over hyped, not worth imo.

Parent context: FWIW ON seems to have become an almost default shoe in the business casual financial space across the country, so they also are generally considered at least fashionable enough to match well with biz casual professional office wear. Reply: Counterpoint - almost anyone who cares about fashion has nearly completely written them off as “tech bro” / “finance bro” sneakers.
