Product Information
Full details
This guide is for adult female athletes seeking versatile trainers for a variety of activities. The key benefit is the shoe's adaptability, offering flexibility and improved stability for dynamic movements. A potential consideration is that the sock-like collar, while comfortable, may not suit everyone's preference for traditional tongue support. The On Cloud X 4 AD trainers are designed for versatile training, featuring a sock-like collar, lace-up closure, and a fork-shaped Speedboard® for enhanced flexibility and dynamic motion, complemented by an updated rubber grip for superior stability.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
While the Cloud X 4 AD offers good cushioning for shorter runs, they are primarily designed for versatile training. For marathon distances, dedicated long-distance running shoes with more substantial cushioning would generally be recommended.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by On Running. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the UK sizing guide. Many users find that On shoes fit true to size, but personal preference for snugness can vary.
Can I wear these for hiking?
The updated rubber grip offers improved stability, making them suitable for light trails or very short, easy hikes. However, they are not designed for technical terrain or long-distance hiking, which would require specialized hiking boots.
How durable is the sock-like collar?
The sock-like collar is constructed with durable materials designed for regular training use. However, like any textile, it can be susceptible to wear and tear from excessive friction or sharp objects.
What is the main difference between the Cloud X 4 and previous versions?
The Cloud X 4 AD features an updated rubber grip for enhanced stability and a refined fork-shaped Speedboard® for improved flexibility and dynamic movement compared to earlier models.
Can these shoes be used for court sports like tennis or basketball?
While they offer good lateral stability, they are not specifically designed for the high-impact, multidirectional movements of sports like tennis or basketball. Dedicated court shoes would provide better support and protection for those activities.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Adjust the lacing to find a more comfortable tension. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. If the issue persists, the fit may not be suitable for your foot shape.
Reduced grip or stability
Check the outsole for embedded debris or wear. Clean the sole with a damp cloth. If the outsole is significantly worn, consider replacing the shoes.
Sock-like collar feels loose
Tighten the laces, paying attention to the eyelets near the ankle. Ensure the shoe is fully on and the heel is properly seated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The On Cloud X 4 AD trainers require no special setup. Simply ensure they are laced to your preferred tightness for a secure fit.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for versatile fitness activities. They are compatible with most athletic sock types. Their grip is optimized for gym floors, running tracks, and light outdoor trails.
Care: To maintain your trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
- 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 warp the shoe.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
