On Cloudsurfer Next Trainers - White/Blue - UK 9

Cloudtec Phase is an advanced cushioning system that uses a unique cavity layout within the sole. These 'clouds' collapse forward with each stride, creating a smooth transition and generating more momentum.

The Cloudsurfer Next is designed for a more agile and dynamic ride compared to models with higher stack heights. It features a lighter feel and a lower profile, offering a more connected-to-the-ground sensation than some of On's max-cushioned shoes.

While comfortable for daily runs, their lower stack height and focus on agility might be better suited for shorter to mid-distance runs or tempo efforts. For maximum cushioning on long marathon distances, other models might be preferred.

The Cloudsurfer Next has a heel drop of 6mm.

The updated rubber pad outsole provides good traction, making them suitable for light trails. However, they are primarily designed for road running, and aggressive trail running might require shoes with more aggressive lug patterns.

The upper is constructed from an engineered woven material, designed to be lightweight, breathable, and adaptive.

Clean the upper gently with a damp cloth or soft brush. Avoid harsh detergents. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to relieve pressure points. For a temporary fix, you can slightly loosen the laces before wearing.

While the outsole is designed for wet and dry grip, very slick surfaces may still pose a challenge. Ensure the outsole is free from debris that could impede traction.

This can occur with prolonged use. Ensure the shoes fit correctly to avoid excessive stress on the upper material. Follow care instructions to maintain material integrity.
