Full details
The On Cloudflow 5 trainers in Ivory/Tin are designed for adult male runners seeking to enhance their speed during training and casual runs.

FAQs
Who is the On Cloudflow 5 designed for?
The On Cloudflow 5 is designed for adult male runners, from dedicated athletes to casual runners, who want to improve their speed during training and faster-paced runs.
What makes the cushioning responsive?
The shoe features a dual-density midsole with pinnacle Helion HF foam on top for lightweight cushioning and excellent energy return, combined with a Speedboard made of a glass fibre and nylon blend for added propulsion.
How does the rocker geometry help?
The rocker shape is tailored to enhance forward-feeling motion, promoting smoother transitions and making your stride feel more effortless at faster paces.
Is this shoe suitable for recovery runs?
While it offers cushioning, the primary design focus is on speed and energy return. For very slow recovery runs where maximum plushness is desired, other shoe models might be more suitable. The Cloudflow 5 excels in tempo and interval settings.
What is the weight of the Cloudflow 5?
The On Cloudflow 5 weighs approximately 270 grams.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The heel offset (drop) is 8mm.
How should I clean my Cloudflow 5 trainers?
Gently clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air dry naturally. Avoid machine washing.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing pattern and tension. Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets evenly. Consider different lacing techniques for targeted pressure relief or added snugness.
Reduced energy return or responsiveness.
Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn. Check that the Speedboard is not obstructed (though this is unlikely with normal use). The perceived responsiveness can also be influenced by the running surface and individual fatigue.
Upper feels less breathable.
Ensure the engineered mesh is clean. Mud or debris can clog the mesh. Air out the shoes after each run.
