FAQs
Are the On Cloudflow 5 suitable for marathon running?
The Cloudflow 5 is designed for speed work and fast training sessions. While they can be used for marathons, runners prioritizing maximum cushioning and comfort over long distances might prefer other models.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer or consult On Running's official sizing guide. Generally, UK sizing for men's trainers is consistent, but slight variations can occur.
Can I use these shoes for cross-training or gym workouts?
While they offer good grip, the Cloudflow 5 is optimized for running. For gym workouts or activities requiring lateral stability, a dedicated cross-training shoe might be more appropriate.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The On Cloudflow 5 has a heel offset of 8mm, which is a moderate drop designed to facilitate a smooth transition.
How durable is the Helion HF foam?
Helion HF foam is engineered for high performance and responsiveness. Durability is good for its intended use in speed training, but like all performance foams, it will naturally degrade over extensive mileage.
Is this shoe waterproof?
No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light moisture but not for running in heavy rain or puddles.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a snug but not constricting fit. Try wearing them with different types of running socks.
Reduced responsiveness or energy return
Ensure the shoes are properly broken in. For older shoes, the foam may have compressed over time, reducing its effectiveness.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole provides traction, but extreme wet conditions can still pose a risk. Exercise caution and consider alternative footwear for very slick surfaces.
Mesh upper feels abrasive
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. The engineered mesh is designed for containment; breaking in the shoes and wearing them with socks should resolve any initial abrasion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The On Cloudflow 5 requires no special setup; simply lace them up and go. Ensure they are tied comfortably but securely to maximize performance and prevent slippage.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and track workouts. They are compatible with most standard running socks. For optimal performance tracking, they can be used with GPS watches or other running apps.
Care: To maintain the performance and lifespan of your Cloudflow 5 trainers:
- Cleaning: Wipe down the upper with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in damp conditions or direct sunlight for extended periods.
