Troubleshooting
Debris getting stuck in the sole
Use a blunt tool or pressurized water spray to gently remove gravel or twigs from the CloudTec channels.
Shoes feel tight after a few miles
Feet naturally swell during exercise; try loosening the laces slightly before starting your run.
Slippage in the heel area
Utilize the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to increase lockdown at the ankle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Cloudflyer 5, start by properly adjusting the lacing system to match your foot shape, ensuring a secure midfoot lockdown. These trainers are designed for road and gym surfaces; avoid deep mud or sharp, rocky terrain to prevent debris from lodging in the CloudTec sole units. When cleaning, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Never machine wash or tumble dry your trainers, as high heat can degrade the cushioning foam and adhesive bonds. Always allow them to air dry away from direct sunlight.
