The Cloudflow 5 is ideal for runners who want to enhance their speed during training sessions and races. It's suitable for both dedicated runners and casual runners looking to make the most of their speed work and fast miles.
The Cloudflow 5 incorporates elements from On's pinnacle race shoes, focusing on lightweight cushioning with Helion HF foam and a responsive Speedboard for energy return, all within a design tailored for effortless speed.
The shaped rocker is designed to enhance your forward-feeling motion, promoting a smoother transition and an effortlessly fast stride, encouraging you to roll through your gait cycle.
While excellent for faster training and shorter races, the Cloudflow 5's focus is on responsiveness and lightweight speed. For ultra-long distances where maximum plush cushioning is prioritized, other models might be preferred, but it can certainly be used for marathons by runners who enjoy its energetic feel.
The Cloudflow 5 features a dual-density midsole with a significant layer of Helion HF foam on top for cushioning and energy return, complemented by CloudTec cushioning below. The stack height is 36mm in the heel and 28mm in the forefoot.
The Cloudflow 5 weighs approximately 270g (for a men's UK size 8).
The engineered mesh upper offers breathability. While it provides some protection, it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, consider waterproof running shoe options. The rubber outsole offers good traction on damp surfaces.
Adjust the lacing to find a more secure or comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the issue persists, consider insoles or alternative lacing techniques.
The outsole provides durable traction, but performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Clean the outsole regularly to remove debris that could impede grip.
New running shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs initially and gradually increase the distance as your feet adapt to the feel and support.
The engineered mesh will soften with use. Continue wearing the shoes for short periods to allow them to mold to your foot shape.
