The Swiss shoe company On is facing a class action lawsuit.

Their line of footwear called Clouds have hollow pods on the sole that are supposed to make it feel like you’re walking “on clouds.” People have complained about how they make a squeaky sound when you walk on them that never goes away. More than 10 styles have been mentioned in the lawsuit. These shoes typically cost between $140 and $180.

People online have been talking about it for over a year. But now there’s a class-action lawsuit, because people think it’s a defect for expensive shoes like Clouds.

The company hasn’t commented on the lawsuit.
