Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff during initial wear.
The On Cloudflyer 5 may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs or walks initially to allow the materials to adapt to your foot.
Lack of cushioning or energy return.
Ensure the laces are tied correctly to secure your foot within the cushioning system. Verify you are running on appropriate surfaces (roads) where the shoe's technology is most effective.
Slipping during runs.
Check that the laces are securely tied and that the shoe fits snugly. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from excessive mud or debris which could impair traction.
