Product Information
Full details
The On Cloudflyer 5 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking an ultra-supportive shoe for longer distances and speed work. Its key benefit is improved impact absorption and lasting comfort thanks to dual-density cushioning and a re-engineered ankle collar. A potential caveat is that the specialized cushioning and speedboard may require a short break-in period for some users. This shoe features Helion HF cushioning for lightweight energy return, a glass fibre and nylon Speedboard for added propulsion, Cloudtec pod cushioning, and a rocker shape optimized for forward motion. The engineered mesh upper ensures breathability and containment, while a robust rubber outsole provides durable traction.

FAQs
What type of runner is the On Cloudflyer 5 best suited for?
The Cloudflyer 5 is ideal for adult male runners seeking an ultra-supportive shoe for road running, particularly for longer distances and speed work, offering enhanced cushioning and a propulsive feel.
How does the dual-density cushioning work?
It features a layer of Helion HF foam directly underfoot for superior impact absorption and energy return, combined with a layer of standard Helion foam below, providing a balanced and responsive ride throughout your run.
What is the purpose of the Speedboard?
The glass fibre and nylon blend Speedboard is integrated into the midsole to enhance energy return and provide a snappy, propulsive sensation with each stride, making faster running feel more efficient.
How does the rocker shape benefit my run?
The carefully engineered rocker shape promotes a smooth, rolling transition from foot strike to toe-off, encouraging a natural forward momentum and reducing perceived effort during faster runs.
Is this shoe suitable for trail running?
The Cloudflyer 5 is primarily designed for road running. While it may handle very light, well-maintained trails, its traction and construction are optimized for paved surfaces.
How should I clean my Cloudflyer 5 trainers?
Clean the shoes using a damp cloth and mild soap for spot cleaning. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals, and always air dry them naturally.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of this shoe?
The On Cloudflyer 5 has a heel offset of 8mm, providing a moderate drop that is suitable for a wide range of runners.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
This is common with performance shoes featuring a Speedboard. Wear them for shorter periods initially and gradually increase duration as the shoe breaks in to your foot's natural motion.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
Ensure the shoe is clean and free from debris. While Helion foam is durable, prolonged heavy use can eventually reduce its responsiveness. Consider rotating with another pair for extended shoe life.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good traction on dry roads, but like most road running shoes, grip may be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Run with caution in wet conditions.
Mesh upper appears to be losing shape
Avoid aggressive cleaning methods or machine washing. Ensure the shoes are dried naturally and stored properly to maintain the integrity of the engineered mesh.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The On Cloudflyer 5 comes ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit.
Compatibility: These trainers are optimized for road running. While they can handle light, well-maintained trails, their primary design is for asphalt, pavement, and treadmills.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Spot clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, which can degrade the cushioning and upper materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
- Outsole Care: Periodically check the rubber outsole for embedded debris and gently clean if necessary to maintain optimal traction.
