Product Information

Full details

The On Cloudflow 5 is designed for both dedicated and casual runners seeking to enhance their speed work and fast training sessions. Its key benefit is making speed accessible through advanced cushioning and energy return. A potential caveat is its focus on fast-paced running, which may feel firmer for those prioritizing ultra-plush comfort during slower miles. This shoe integrates ingredients from pinnacle race shoes, featuring a generous layer of Helion HF foam for lightweight cushioning and superior energy return, complemented by a glass fibre and nylon blend Speedboard for an extra energy boost. The Cloudtec pod cushioning utilizes Helion foam, and the shoe's rocker shape is engineered to promote a natural forward-moving stride, ensuring effortlessly fast runs. Ample rubber coverage on the outsole provides durable traction, while the woven engineered mesh upper offers breathable containment for optimal performance.

FAQs

What type of runner is the Cloudflow 5 best suited for?

The Cloudflow 5 is ideal for runners looking to improve their speed, whether for dedicated speed work, fast training sessions, or shorter races. It suits both casual runners and more experienced athletes seeking an energetic ride.

How does the Helion HF foam differ from standard Helion foam?

Helion HF (High-Frequency) foam is a more advanced compound designed for even greater energy return and lightweight cushioning, typically found in On's premium performance and race shoes. It's placed strategically for maximum benefit.

Is the Cloudflow 5 suitable for marathon running?

While the shoe provides excellent energy return and cushioning, its design leans towards faster paces. For ultra-long distances or slower marathon paces, runners might prefer a shoe with more emphasis on plush, long-haul comfort. However, it can be used for marathon training runs focused on speed work.

What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Cloudflow 5?

The Cloudflow 5 has a heel-to-toe drop of 8mm.

Can I use the Cloudflow 5 for everyday casual wear?

Yes, the shoe offers good cushioning and a stylish design, making it suitable for casual wear. However, its performance features are optimized for running, and prolonged casual wear might affect their lifespan.

How do I clean mud or dirt from the mesh upper?

Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stubborn stains, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap and water. Rinse gently and allow to air dry completely.

What is the weight of the Cloudflow 5?

The Cloudflow 5 weighs approximately 270g for a men's US size 8.5. Women's sizes will vary slightly.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try lacing the shoes differently to adjust pressure points. Allow for a short break-in period.

Reduced grip or traction

Check the outsole for embedded debris and clean if necessary. If the outsole appears significantly worn, it may be time for a replacement.

Upper material feels restrictive

The engineered mesh is designed for a secure fit. Ensure laces are not overtightened. The material will soften slightly with wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent energy return for faster running.
  • Lightweight cushioning for comfort during speed sessions.
  • Durable outsole provides reliable traction.
  • Breathable upper enhances comfort.
  • Rocker geometry promotes an efficient stride.

Cons

  • May feel firmer for runners prioritizing maximal softness during slow runs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Cloudflow 5 is ready to run straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable and secure fit. No specific setup or configuration is required.

Compatibility: This shoe is designed for running on roads and light, dry trails. It is compatible with standard running socks. It is not designed for use with specialized running inserts unless recommended by a professional, as this may alter the shoe's intended performance characteristics.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Cloudflow 5:

  1. Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cool water with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
