Product Information
Full details
The ON Cloudsoma Trainers are designed for adult trail runners and active individuals seeking a seamless connection between their movement and the terrain. Featuring the proprietary CloudTec Connect cushioning system, these trainers provide a responsive and intuitive feel that adapts to your natural stride. While they excel in flexibility and ground feedback on varied surfaces, users should note that they are specifically tuned for performance-oriented movement rather than casual, sedentary wear.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for road running?
While they can handle occasional pavement, they are specifically engineered for trail terrain to maximize the CloudTec Connect performance.
How should the shoe fit?
The trainer should be snug around the midfoot with enough room in the toe box for your toes to splay naturally during movement.
Can I use custom orthotics with these shoes?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own orthotics if they are of similar volume.
Are they waterproof?
No, the shoes utilize a breathable mesh upper designed for airflow and moisture wicking, not water protection.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Performance trainers typically show signs of wear after 300-500 miles, depending on the intensity and nature of the trails you frequent.
Troubleshooting
Feel unstable on very soft or muddy terrain
The Cloudsoma is optimized for packed trails; adjust your stride to be more deliberate and decrease speed in extremely slick conditions.
Debris getting caught in the sole
Regularly inspect the CloudTec pods after your run and use a small tool or brush to gently clear out any trapped stones or sticks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your ON Cloudsoma Trainers, start by ensuring you are wearing the correct size; the 8.5 UK size is designed for a performance fit that should allow for slight foot swelling during exercise. When cleaning your trainers, avoid machine washing or drying, which can damage the CloudTec elements. Instead, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the outsole after each use. If the uppers become soiled, wipe them gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Always allow your shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to preserve the integrity of the cushioning materials.
