Full details
The On Cloudflow 5 Trainers in White/Tin are designed for both dedicated and casual runners seeking to enhance their speed work and fast training sessions. They offer a compelling blend of lightweight cushioning and responsive energy return, powered by advanced foam and a unique Speedboard. A primary caveat is that while they excel at speed, they may offer less long-term cushioning for ultra-marathon distances compared to specialized endurance shoes. Key features include Helion HF pinnacle foam for superior cushioning, a glass fibre and nylon Speedboard for propulsion, Cloudtec pod cushioning, and a rocker shape optimized for forward motion. The woven engineered mesh upper ensures breathable containment, while substantial rubber coverage on the outsole provides durable traction.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Helion HF foam?
The Helion HF foam provides superior, lightweight cushioning with excellent energy return, designed to enhance speed and comfort during fast running.
Who is the On Cloudflow 5 best suited for?
It is ideal for runners who engage in speed work, tempo runs, interval training, and also for casual runners looking to make their fast training sessions more effective and enjoyable.
How does the Speedboard contribute to performance?
The glass fibre and nylon blend Speedboard works with the shoe's rocker shape to provide a propulsive feel, offering an extra 'pop' of energy and enhancing forward motion.
Can I use these shoes for marathon running?
While they offer good cushioning for shorter to mid-distance road races, they might not provide the maximum long-term cushioning required for ultra-marathon distances compared to shoes specifically designed for extreme endurance.
How do I clean my On Cloudflow 5 trainers?
Gently clean with cold water and mild soap using a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing and always air dry away from direct heat.
What is the heel offset of the Cloudflow 5?
The heel offset is 8mm, which provides a balanced feel for efficient running.
What is the weight of a single Cloudflow 5 shoe?
A single shoe weighs approximately 270g, contributing to its lightweight feel during runs.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try lacing them differently to adjust pressure points, or consider if a wider fit might be needed for future purchases.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
The cushioning foams and Speedboard are designed for performance. Mileage and wear will naturally affect their characteristics. For optimal performance, consider replacing them after 300-500 miles (500-800 km) or when signs of significant wear appear.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the outsole offers good traction, performance on very wet or slick surfaces can be reduced. Exercise caution and ensure the outsole is free of debris that might impede grip.
Upper material shows signs of wear
Inspect the engineered mesh for any snags or tears. Avoid abrasive contact with rough surfaces. Minor wear is normal with regular use; for significant damage, consider replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It is recommended to wear them with performance running socks.
Compatibility: The On Cloudflow 5 is designed as a road running shoe. It is best suited for asphalt, paved paths, and other firm, even surfaces. While they can handle light gravel, they are not optimized for technical trails.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, brush off loose dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with cold water and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for prolonged periods.
