Men's Cloud Wanderer V2 vs Men's Cloud Wanderer V5
Both are FitVille wide-fit walking shoes with a 5cm EVA sole, 2E/4E widths and a roomy toe box. The V2 is the lace-up version with a mesh and PU upper and a rubber outsole; the V5 is a slip-on with a stretch knit and faux suede upper and an EVA outsole. The V2 scores slightly higher (4.7 from 213 ratings vs 4.6 from 168), but the V5 is the easier shoe to put on if bending is hard. No current prices were supplied for either shoe, so check each store's live price on Deal.ai before deciding.

Questions and answers
- Which is better for wide feet with bunions?
- Both come in 2E and 4E with a roomy toe box and a 5cm sole that limits flexing. The V5's stretch knit upper and slip-on entry are gentler on bunions and swollen feet; the V2 gives you laces to fine-tune the fit.
- Which is easier to put on?
- The V5. It is a pull-on with a stretch knit upper and a low-cut design, so you can step in without bending. The V2 is lace-up.
- Which lasts longer?
- The V2 likely holds up better outdoors because its outsole is rubber rather than EVA. Both use EVA midsoles, which compress over time with heavy daily use.
- Is the V5 worth the extra over the V2?
- No current prices were supplied for either shoe, so compare the live prices on Deal.ai. If the V5 costs more, you are paying for the slip-on entry and ArchCore insole, not for better ratings.
- Can I use orthotics in either shoe?
- Buyers report the V2's insole is removable, which makes room for orthotics. The V5 ships with extra cotton insoles, but check that its ArchCore insole comes out before relying on your own.
- Which is better for walking on wet pavement?
- The V2. Its rubber outsole has a slip-resistant pattern, while the V5 uses an EVA outsole. Neither shoe is listed as waterproof.
