Troubleshooting
My feet feel too warm during runs.
Although the Cloudswift 4 features a breathable mesh, ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks made from moisture-wicking materials. Avoid cotton socks, which can trap heat and moisture. Also, confirm you have the running-specific Cloudswift 4, not the Cloudswift 4 AW lifestyle version which has a less breathable upper.
The midfoot area feels too tight or restrictive.
The Cloudswift 4 features a snug bootie fit with a midfoot cage for support. If it feels too tight, try loosening the laces slightly across the midfoot. Wearing thinner socks initially may also help, or allow for a brief break-in period as the materials adapt to your foot shape.
I'm not feeling the expected cushioning or energy return.
Ensure your laces are properly secured, as a loose fit can affect how the cushioning system engages. Allow for a short break-in period for the Helion foam and CloudTec pods to fully adapt to your running style. Also, confirm you are using the shoes on appropriate surfaces (city streets, pavement) for optimal performance.
