FAQs
Who is the On Cloudflow 4 designed for?
The Cloudflow 4 is primarily designed for adult male runners looking for a lightweight and responsive shoe for speed-focused activities like tempo runs, interval training, and road racing up to half marathon distances.
What is the main benefit of the Helion superfoam?
The Helion superfoam provides exceptional responsiveness and energy return, making your runs feel more propulsive and efficient, while also offering durable cushioning.
Can I use the Cloudflow 4 for marathon running?
While it offers good cushioning, it is optimized for speed. For marathon distances, especially if you prioritize maximum cushioning and comfort over long periods, you might consider a shoe with a higher stack height and more plush cushioning.
How do I clean my Cloudflow 4 shoes?
Gently clean the shoes with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents to protect the materials and maintain their performance.
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
The Cloudflow 4 is best suited for road running. While they can handle very light or groomed trails, they are not designed for technical trails that require aggressive grip or enhanced protection.
What is the difference between Cloudflow and Cloudflow 4?
The Cloudflow 4 is an updated version that features advancements in its Helion superfoam for enhanced responsiveness and a refined, lightweight technical fabric upper for improved breathability, inspired by even faster racing models.
How should I determine the right size?
Refer to the On Running size guide and measure your foot. Consider that running shoes should typically offer about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the lacing pattern. For a tighter fit, ensure the laces are evenly distributed. For a looser fit, try a different lacing technique or ensure the tongue is positioned correctly. If the issue persists, consider if this is the correct size for your foot shape. See the size guide for reference.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.
The Helion superfoam is designed for durability, but cushioning naturally degrades with extensive use. Consider the mileage logged. If nearing 300-500 miles, it may be time for a replacement. Ensure no debris is trapped in the sole channels.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
The outsole provides good traction on dry surfaces, but like all running shoes, grip can be reduced on very wet or slick surfaces. Ensure your stride is controlled and adapt your pace accordingly.

Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the upper and midsole. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials.

- Storage: Store your Cloudflow 4s in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Rotation: For longevity, consider rotating your Cloudflow 4s with another pair of running shoes to allow them to fully dry and recover between runs.
