FAQs
What type of running is the On Cloudflyer 5 best suited for?
The On Cloudflyer 5 is ideal for long runs, general training, and faster training sessions on road surfaces, offering premium comfort and a supportive ride.
What is the heel drop and stack height of these shoes?
The shoe has a heel drop of 10mm and a stack height of 31-21mm, providing a balanced and highly cushioned platform.
How does the Helion cushioning benefit my run?
Helion cushioning is a key feature offering higher measurable impact absorption. This helps to reduce stress on your joints and provides a more comfortable and responsive experience during longer runs and training.
Are these shoes made with recycled materials?
Yes, the On Cloudflyer 5 is built using over 25% total recycled materials, contributing to more sustainable production practices.
How should I clean my On Cloudflyer 5 shoes?
To clean your shoes, gently brush off loose dirt. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water, then air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
While the updated rubber outsole provides good traction, the Cloudflyer 5 is primarily designed and optimized for road running due to its supportive structure and cushioning profile. For technical trails, a dedicated trail running shoe would be more suitable.
What is Cloudtec technology?
Cloudtec is On's patented cushioning system, featuring individual 'cloud' elements that compress upon impact to cushion the landing and then stiffen to provide a firm platform for a powerful take-off. In the Cloudflyer 5, it works with Helion foam for enhanced performance.
Troubleshooting
My feet don't feel securely held despite the supportive features.
Ensure laces are properly tightened using all eyelets. The shoe features a wider platform and moulded heel clip for support, so adjust lacing to match your foot's needs. Consider trying different lacing techniques if standard lacing doesn't feel right for your foot shape.
The cushioning feels different than my previous running shoes.
The Cloudflyer 5 features a new dual-density cushioned midsole with Helion cushioning, designed for high impact absorption. This can feel different from other foam types. Give your feet a few runs to adapt to the new feel, especially if you're transitioning from a less cushioned or different brand of shoe.
I notice reduced traction in certain conditions, despite the updated outsole.
The updated rubber pad outsole is designed for high traction in wet and dry conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean of any debris (mud, small stones, leaves) that can reduce grip. Running on exceptionally slick or icy surfaces will always require extra caution regardless of outsole design. For optimal performance, ensure your running surfaces are appropriate for road shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
First Use & Setup
- Lacing: Before your first run, ensure your laces are snug but not too tight. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you find pressure points or prefer a more customized fit. The engineered mesh upper is designed to adapt to your foot, providing a secure hold.
- Break-In Period: While the Cloudflyer 5 offers immediate comfort, a short break-in period of a few runs is recommended to allow the shoe to fully mold to your foot and for you to adapt to its unique cushioning system.
Compatibility
- Running Type: Optimized for road running, including long runs, daily training, and tempo runs.
- Runner Profile: Ideal for female runners seeking high cushioning, robust support, and comfort over extended distances.
- Terrain: Best suited for paved surfaces, asphalt, and light, non-technical paths. While the outsole offers good traction, it is not designed for aggressive trail running.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Cloudflyer 5 shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off any loose dirt or mud after each use. For deeper cleaning, hand wash your shoes using mild soap (like dish soap) and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach. You can use a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub the upper and sole.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers). Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for prolonged periods.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can damage the shoe's materials, cushioning, and structural integrity.
