On Running Cloudhorizon - Black - UK 4

Yes, the CloudTec Phase midsole is designed to provide sustained cushioning and energy return, making them comfortable for both shorter runs and longer distances. The responsive stride helps reduce fatigue over time.

While primarily designed for running and walking, their stable platform and responsive cushioning make them suitable for light gym activities or cross-training that doesn't involve heavy lateral movements requiring specialized gym shoes.

We recommend cleaning your trainers by hand. Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap to gently remove dirt from the mesh and outsole. Avoid machine washing, harsh detergents, or tumble drying, as these can damage the materials and technology.

CloudTec Phase is On Running's innovative cushioning system where 'Cloud' elements compress and interlock as your foot lands, providing soft impact absorption. As you push off, they spring back, generating powerful energy return for a smooth, responsive ride.

The Cloudhorizon trainers feature a breathable mesh upper for excellent ventilation. While this keeps your feet cool, it means they are not waterproof and may not offer significant protection in heavy rain or very wet conditions.

The robust and grippy outsole is engineered for maximum traction on various surfaces, including pavement, light trails, and gravel. It provides reliable stability for running, walking, and light hiking.

Ensure your lacing isn't too tight, which can restrict blood flow and ventilation. Consider wearing moisture-wicking athletic socks to help manage sweat. Allow shoes to air out completely between uses.

Check the outsole for any embedded debris (e.g., small stones, mud) that might be compromising traction and clean it thoroughly. Also, inspect the tread for excessive wear, which can reduce grip over time.

Re-evaluate your lacing technique. Experiment with different lacing patterns that can either tighten or loosen specific areas of the shoe. Ensure you're wearing appropriate socks; thinner or thicker socks can significantly alter fit.

Often, squeaking can be caused by the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, cleaning underneath it, and then reinserting it. If the squeak persists, a light dusting of baby powder under the insole might help.
