FAQs

Who is the On Cloudboom Max designed for?

These shoes are ideal for recreational runners aiming to improve their marathon times, particularly those targeting finish times around four hours or more. They offer advanced technology focused on comfort and efficiency for long distances.

What is the main difference between this shoe and elite racing shoes?

The Cloudboom Max prioritizes a more forgiving feel and enhanced comfort over pure, aggressive speed. While it uses similar technology, its design is optimized for sustained comfort over 4+ hours, rather than the absolute lowest weight and maximum rigidity found in some elite-only models.

How does the Helion HF foam work?

The double layer of Helion HF hyper foam provides exceptional cushioning to absorb impact during long runs, while also delivering significant energy return to help you maintain momentum and run more efficiently.

Is the Speedboard made of carbon fiber?

No, the Cloudboom Max features a glass fibre-infused Speedboard. This offers a responsive pop of energy but is designed to be more comfortable over extended durations compared to a full carbon plate.

Can I use these shoes for everyday training?

Yes, their combination of cushioning, support, and durability makes them suitable for long training runs as well as race day. However, for very short, high-intensity workouts, other shoes might be more specialized.

How do I clean my Cloudboom Max trainers?

Clean them with a damp cloth or sponge and mild soap if necessary. Always air dry them away from direct heat.

What is the weight of the shoe?

The On Cloudboom Max weighs approximately 296g.

Troubleshooting

Slight discomfort on first wear

The adaptive upper may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs initially to allow the material to mold to your foot.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

While the rubber outsole offers good grip, performance can be reduced on extremely wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution and adjust your pace accordingly.

Foam feels too soft or too firm

The dual-layer foam is designed for a balance of cushioning and energy return. Individual perception may vary. Ensure the correct size and fit, as this can affect how the foam performs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced comfort and cushioning for long-distance running.
  • Significant energy return to improve running efficiency.
  • Adaptive and breathable upper for a secure, personalized fit.
  • Designed to help average runners achieve faster marathon times.
  • Provides impact protection and a smooth ride.

Cons

  • Primarily engineered for comfort over pure race-day speed.
  • May not offer the same aggressive responsiveness as some elite-only racing shoes.
  • Weight of 296g might be noticeable for runners prioritizing ultra-light footwear.
  • Optimized for runners targeting specific finishing times (around 4+ hours).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. For the best fit, try them on with the type of socks you typically run in.

Compatibility: The On Cloudboom Max is designed for road running. Its rubber outsole provides grip on tarmac and other paved surfaces. It is suitable for training runs, long-distance races, and marathons.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a dry brush. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth or sponge. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in hot cars or direct sunlight for extended periods.
