Which is better for plantar fasciitis or arch pain?

The Cloud Wanderer V5, on paper. It lists ArchCore insoles with a thickened arch lift and a U-shaped heel cup. The other listing gives no insole or arch details.

Which is better for bunions and swollen feet?

The Cloud Wanderer V5. It comes in 2E and 4E widths with a roomy toe box and a stretch knit upper you can slip on without bending. The other shoe's width range is not stated.

Is the thick sole worth it for all-day standing?

The 5cm EVA sole spreads weight and softens hard floors, which helps long standing shifts. It also adds bulk, so it is less nimble for fast walking.

Neither listing gives a durability figure. The Cloud Wanderer V5 uses an EVA outsole, which wears faster than rubber on pavement, so expect to replace it sooner with heavy daily outdoor use.

Do they fit true to size?

Most of the 168 ratings on the Cloud Wanderer V5 are positive on fit, but one reviewer called it not true to size. The other shoe has no fit feedback listed.

Is one worth the extra money?

No prices are listed for either, so compare the current store prices first. If the gap is small, the Cloud Wanderer V5's documented width range and cushioning justify it.

Men's Cloud Wanderer V5 vs FitVille Men's Wide Width Cushioning Lightweight Athletic Walking Shoes

Both are FitVille wide-width walking shoes, so the real choice is cushioning versus a lighter, more conventional fit. The Cloud Wanderer V5 is the more distinctive shoe: a 5cm LightFeather sole, up to 4E width, a stretch knit upper you can pull on without bending, and ArchCore insoles. The second listing gives no specs, sizes or price, so there is little to compare on paper. Check the current price for each at your store before deciding.
