On Cloudswift - Kids - Size: 5 UK - Black

These shoes are specifically engineered for juniors, catering to young, active individuals who need comfortable and supportive footwear for various activities.

The Cloudswift Junior is primarily designed for road running, city environments, and everyday active play. While they offer excellent cushioning and support, for specialized track or aggressive trail running, purpose-built shoes might be more appropriate.

The junior version maintains the look and feel but is adapted for kids. Key differences include the CloudTec® cushioning being specifically tuned for lighter weights and the absence of a Speedboard, which enhances flexibility and lightness crucial for developing feet, unlike the adult version which uses the Speedboard for propulsion.

It's recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it to On Running's size chart. Always allow a little extra room (about a thumb's width) at the toe for growth and comfort. Consider trying them on towards the end of the day when feet are slightly larger.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the shoe's materials and cushioning technology. Please refer to the 'Care' section for proper cleaning instructions using a damp cloth and mild soap.

Yes, the Cloudswift Junior is built with durable materials, including a robust engineered mesh upper and grippy rubber tread, designed to withstand the demands of daily wear, active play, and regular training sessions by young users.

Adjust the classic laces. For a looser fit, re-lace slightly less tightly. For a tighter, more secure feel, pull the laces firmly. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks (not too thick or thin) for a true fit.

Check if the laces are tied correctly and not rubbing against each other or parts of the shoe. Sometimes, a new shoe's components may settle, and the sound might disappear with wear. Ensure no small debris is lodged in the outsole's CloudTec® elements.

Ensure the shoe size is correct for your child; feet grow quickly. Allow a short break-in period for the shoe to mold to the foot. If discomfort persists, check if socks are bunched up or if there are any signs of irritation from the shoe's interior. Consult a specialist if discomfort continues.
