Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or hot spots during long runs
Re-evaluate your lacing technique to ensure an even, snug fit without being too tight. Check your sock choice; moisture-wicking running socks can prevent friction and heat buildup. Ensure the knitted tongue is flat against your foot.
Lack of expected cushioning feel over time
While durable, running shoe cushioning can compress over extensive mileage. Consider your total mileage on the shoes; typical running shoes last 300-500 miles. Ensure proper drying and storage to maintain material integrity.
Slippage on slightly wet roads
While the rubber pads offer good grip, extreme wet conditions or specific slick surfaces can still pose a challenge. Adjust your stride and pace to be more cautious in such conditions. Ensure the outsole is free from embedded debris.
Shoe feels too warm or lacks ventilation
The mesh upper is designed to be breathable, but individual perceptions vary. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks for the temperature, preferably thin, moisture-wicking synthetic blends. Clean the mesh regularly to ensure airflow isn't obstructed by dirt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Unboxing: Remove your On Cloudsurfer Max shoes from the packaging.
Lacing: The shoes come with standard lacing. Adjust the laces to achieve a snug, comfortable fit across your foot. Ensure the knitted tongue is properly positioned for optimal comfort and to prevent chafing.
First Wear: Wear them for short walks or light activities to break them in gradually before undertaking longer runs.
Compatibility
Running Style: Best suited for neutral road running. It does not provide significant pronation support.
Distance: Optimized for long-distance runs due to its maximum cushioning.
Surface: Designed primarily for road surfaces; the outsole grip is not intended for challenging off-road or trail conditions.
Care
Cleaning: After runs, especially in wet or dirty conditions, gently wipe down the shoes with a damp cloth to remove mud and grime. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or hot water.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider removing the insoles occasionally to allow both the shoe interior and insoles to air out completely.
Avoid Washing Machine/Dryer: Do not put your shoes in a washing machine or dryer. The aggressive cycles and heat can compromise the structural integrity and cushioning properties of the shoes.
