FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?

Yes, the Cloudsurfer Next Trainers are well-suited for marathon training due to their advanced cushioning (Helion™ superfoam and CloudTec Phase®) designed for long-distance comfort and responsive strides.

How do I clean my On Cloudsurfer Next Trainers?

Gently clean the exterior with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

What is the main difference between Cloudsurfer and other On models?

The Cloudsurfer line is specifically engineered for a softer, more cushioned ride with unique CloudTec Phase® technology for smooth heel-to-toe transitions, often preferred for recovery runs or long distances, compared to more performance-oriented or minimalist models.

Can I wear these for daily activities, not just running?

Yes, the low-profile design and comfortable cushioning make them suitable for casual wear and daily activities. However, their primary design and performance benefits are optimized for running.

What kind of surfaces are the outsoles best for?

The non-slip textured outsole is primarily designed for road running and paved surfaces. It also offers good grip on light gravel or park paths.

Do these trainers come in different widths?

While this specific listing is for the standard width, On Running sometimes offers different width options for various models. Please check the product specifications or other available listings.

What is the expected lifespan of these shoes?

For optimal performance and cushioning, running shoes like the Cloudsurfer Next are generally recommended to be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on running style, weight, and terrain.

Troubleshooting

Slightly tight fit on arrival.

Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow them to break in. The materials will adapt to your foot shape over time.

Reduced cushioning after extensive use.

The Helion™ superfoam is designed for responsiveness. For very high mileage runners, consider replacing them after 300-500 miles as recommended for most running shoes to maintain optimal performance.

Traction feels slippery on wet surfaces.

While the outsole is textured, extreme wet conditions can reduce grip. Exercise caution on very slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole is free of debris.

Cons

  • Low-profile design might not suit runners seeking maximum ankle support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers require no special setup. Simply lace them up to your preferred tightness.

Compatibility:

Designed primarily for road running and long-distance training. They are compatible with most standard running socks. While versatile for casual wear, their specialized design is optimized for running.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to clean the exterior. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can degrade the foam and adhesives.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
