FAQs

What type of runner is the Cloudflow 5 best suited for?

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.

What is the main difference between the Cloudflow 5 and other On running shoes?

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.

How does the rocker geometry affect the running experience?

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.

Is the Cloudflow 5 suitable for marathon running?

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.

How much cushioning does the Cloudflow 5 offer?

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.

What is the weight of the Cloudflow 5?

The Cloudflow 5 weighs approximately 270g (for a men's UK size 8).

Can the Cloudflow 5 be used in wet weather conditions?

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.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or loose.

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.

Reduced traction on wet surfaces.

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.

Discomfort during initial runs.

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.

Upper material feels stiff.

The engineered mesh will soften with use. Continue wearing the shoes for short periods to allow them to mold to your foot shape.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running on various surfaces, including pavement and athletic tracks. They are suitable for adult runners of all genders.

Care Instructions: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Cloudflow 5 trainers:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or sponge with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
  2. 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 cause the materials to warp or shrink.
  3. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
