FAQs

What type of running is the On Cloudrunner 2 best suited for?

The Cloudrunner 2 is ideal for daily training, long-distance running, and recovery runs on roads, tracks, and paved paths. Its superior cushioning and support make it perfect for sustained comfort over many miles.

How should I clean my On Cloudrunner 2 shoes?

Gently clean your shoes with a soft brush or damp cloth using mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials. Air dry them naturally away from direct heat.

What is CloudTec® cushioning?

CloudTec® is On's patented cushioning system, featuring individual 'cloud' elements on the outsole that compress upon impact to absorb shock, then firm up for a powerful push-off. In the Cloudrunner 2, it uses ultralight Zero-Gravity foam for enhanced softness and responsiveness.

What does the Swiss-engineered Speedboard® do?

The Speedboard® is a liquid-injected plate positioned within the midsole. It's designed to stabilize your foot and efficiently transform the energy from your landing into forward momentum, providing a more propulsive and energetic ride.

When should I consider replacing my Cloudrunner 2 shoes?

Most running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles, or sooner if you notice significant wear on the outsole, reduced cushioning, or experience increased discomfort or new pains. Pay attention to your body's signals and the shoe's responsiveness.

Are the On Cloudrunner 2 shoes waterproof?

No, the On Cloudrunner 2 features a breathable mesh upper designed for ventilation and comfort, which means they are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions.

Troubleshooting

Foot discomfort, rubbing, or blisters during runs

Ensure you have the correct shoe size and width. Experiment with different running socks (moisture-wicking are often best) to reduce friction. Re-evaluate your lacing; sometimes adjusting tightness or using a different lacing pattern can alleviate pressure points.

Shoes feel less cushioned or 'flat' over time

Running shoes have a typical lifespan of 300-500 miles, depending on individual running style, weight, and terrain. Keep track of your mileage and consider replacing the shoes when cushioning feels noticeably diminished or you start experiencing new aches or pains, as this indicates the midsole is worn out.

Unpleasant odor developing in the shoes

After each run, remove the insoles and allow your shoes to air dry thoroughly in a well-ventilated area. Avoid storing them in a gym bag or enclosed space. If odor persists, use an athletic shoe deodorizer spray or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside and let it sit overnight before shaking it out.

Slippage or instability in the heel area

Try using a 'heel lock' lacing technique, which involves threading the laces through the top eyelets to create a more secure fit around the ankle. Ensure the foam collar is snug but not uncomfortably tight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup and First Use

  1. First Fit: When trying on your Cloudrunner 2 shoes, wear your preferred running socks. Ensure there's approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. The fit should feel snug but not tight, with your heel securely held.
  2. Initial Runs: Begin with shorter, easier runs to allow your feet and the shoes to adapt to each other. This 'break-in' period helps the cushioning and upper mold to your foot's unique shape and gait.
  3. Lacing: Experiment with different lacing techniques to find the most comfortable and secure fit for your foot, especially if you experience pressure points or heel slippage.

Compatibility

  • Running Surfaces: The On Cloudrunner 2 is primarily designed for road running, track workouts, and well-maintained paved paths or light, non-technical trails. Its cushioning system performs optimally on harder surfaces.
  • Foot Type: With its neutral support and cradle-shaped construction, it's generally suitable for a wide range of foot types, including those with neutral pronation.
  • Activities: Best suited for daily training, long-distance runs, recovery runs, and general fitness walking.

Care and Maintenance

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe off dirt and debris with a soft brush or a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap) mixed with cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers. Do not machine wash or machine dry, as this can damage the materials and adhesive.
  2. Drying: After cleaning or a wet run, remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can cause materials to shrink or become brittle. Stuffing the shoes with crumpled newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  3. Storage: Store your Cloudrunner 2 shoes in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight when not in use. Proper storage helps extend their lifespan.
