Product Information

Full details

The On Cloudflow 5 in Juniper Ice is designed for adult male runners seeking enhanced speed for both dedicated speed work and fast training sessions. Its key benefit lies in providing a blend of lightweight cushioning and excellent energy return, inspired by pinnacle race shoes. A potential caveat is its performance focus, which might make it less ideal for very long, slow recovery runs for some users. This shoe integrates a substantial layer of Helion HF foam for cushioning and energy return, a glass fiber and nylon blend Speedboard for an extra pop, and Helion foam CloudTec pods for comfort. The design features a tailored rocker for effortless forward motion and a durable outsole with ample rubber coverage for traction. The engineered mesh upper offers breathable containment.

FAQs

Who is the On Cloudflow 5 designed for?

The Cloudflow 5 is designed for adult male runners who want to increase their speed during speed work, interval training, and fast training sessions. It is suitable for both dedicated runners and casual runners looking to make the most of their faster efforts.

What is the primary benefit of the Helion HF foam?

The Helion HF foam provides lightweight cushioning and excellent energy return, helping to propel the runner forward and make faster paces feel more effortless.

How does the Speedboard contribute to performance?

The glass fiber and nylon blend Speedboard works with the foam midsole to give an energetic 'pop' and support a dynamic and efficient stride.

What is the stack height and heel offset of the Cloudflow 5?

The stack height is 36mm at the heel and 28mm at the forefoot, resulting in a heel offset of 8mm.

Is this shoe suitable for marathon racing?

While designed for speed, its specific cushioning and plate technology are optimized for shorter to middle distances like 5k, 10k, and half marathons. For full marathons, some runners may prefer a shoe with more traditional cushioning or a different type of propulsion system, depending on their individual needs and pace.

How should I clean my Cloudflow 5 trainers?

Clean with a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for tougher grime. Allow them to air dry naturally away from heat sources. Do not machine wash.

What is the weight of the On Cloudflow 5?

The shoe weighs approximately 270g.

Can I use these shoes on trails?

The Cloudflow 5 is best suited for road running and track workouts. While the outsole offers good traction on dry, packed surfaces, it is not designed for technical or muddy trails.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or causes hot spots.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Double-check the lacing to ensure it's not too tight across the forefoot or ankle. If the issue persists, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot shape.

Reduced energy return or cushioning feel.

Over time and with significant mileage, foam materials can compress. Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris that might be affecting performance. If the shoes have exceeded their typical lifespan (300-500 miles), consider replacement.

Slipping on wet surfaces.

The outsole provides durable traction, but performance can be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution and reduce speed on such conditions. The shoes are primarily designed for dry to moderately damp conditions.

Mesh upper feels less breathable after cleaning.

Ensure the mesh is thoroughly rinsed of any soap residue and allowed to air dry completely. Avoid using fabric softeners which can clog the mesh fibers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent energy return for faster running.
  • Lightweight cushioning enhances comfort during speed work.
  • Breathable mesh upper keeps feet cool.
  • Durable outsole provides reliable grip.
  • Rocker design promotes a smooth, forward-propelling stride.

Cons

  • May be too firm for runners prioritizing maximum plush cushioning on easy runs.
  • Focus on speed might not suit ultra-marathon distances for all runners.
  • The engineered mesh, while breathable, might offer less water resistance in wet conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The On Cloudflow 5 is ready to run straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable and secure fit. It's recommended to wear these shoes with performance running socks for optimal comfort and moisture-wicking.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and track workouts. They are compatible with most standard running surfaces, including asphalt, concrete, and dry, packed trails.

Care: To maintain the performance and lifespan of your Cloudflow 5 trainers:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, which can degrade the foam and synthetic materials.
  3. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, when not in use. Avoid leaving them in confined spaces like car trunks for extended periods, especially in warm weather.
