FAQs

What type of running is the Cloudswift 4 best suited for?

The Cloudswift 4 is specifically designed for energised, everyday city running, offering comfort and responsiveness on paved surfaces.

What is Helion™ foam?

Helion™ foam is On Running's superfoam, designed to provide lightweight cushioning, high energy return, and durability, performing well in various temperatures.

What does the Speedboard® do?

The Speedboard® is a plate integrated into the midsole that works to propel you forward, providing a responsive and explosive feel with each step.

How do I clean my On Cloudswift 4 shoes?

Gently clean with a soft brush or cloth, mild soap, and cold water. Air dry them away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

What is the heel-to-toe drop (offset) of this shoe?

The Cloudswift 4 has an 8mm heel offset (heel stack height 31mm, forefoot stack height 23mm).

Is this shoe suitable for long-distance running?

Yes, its cushioning and responsive design make it suitable for various distances, including longer runs, especially within urban environments.

Are the Cloudswift 4 shoes true to size?

On Running shoes generally run true to size. We recommend trying your usual running shoe size. The bootie construction offers a snug, adaptive fit.

Troubleshooting

My feet feel loose or not secure in the shoe.

Ensure you are using the lacing system correctly. Try different lacing techniques to achieve a tighter midfoot lockdown. Also, double-check that you have the correct shoe size for optimal fit.

The shoe feels less cushioned or responsive over time.

Running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles. If you've reached this mileage, the cushioning properties may have degraded. Consider replacing your shoes. Also, ensure the outsole CloudTec pods are clear of debris.

Small stones or debris get stuck in the CloudTec pods.

This can occasionally happen. Simply remove any trapped debris after your run using a small stick or by hand. Regular inspection of the outsole can prevent accumulation.

My feet feel too warm during runs.

While the engineered mesh is designed for breathability, consider wearing thinner, moisture-wicking running socks. Ensure your shoes are not laced too tightly, which can restrict air circulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Setting up your Cloudswift 4 is as simple as lacing them up. Ensure you use the provided laces to achieve a snug, comfortable fit without being too tight. The bootie construction means the shoe hugs your foot from the moment you slide it on, reducing the need for extensive lacing adjustments once you find your preferred tension.

Compatibility

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Cloudswift 4s:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, especially in dirty conditions, gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and a soft brush or cloth with cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  2. Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can cause shrinkage or damage to the foam and mesh. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
  3. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing.
  4. Material: The upper features Nylon in its engineered mesh, which is durable but still benefits from gentle care.
