FAQs
What type of runner is the On Cloudrunner 2 designed for?
The Cloudrunner 2 is designed for runners seeking maximum cushioning and stability. It's ideal for daily training, long runs, and those who may overpronate slightly or prefer a more structured, supportive shoe.
How does the Helion Superfoam differ from standard foam?
Helion Superfoam is On's advanced midsole foam technology, engineered to provide a softer feel and higher energy return compared to traditional EVA foams. It delivers a blend of cushioning and responsiveness that adapts to your stride.
Is the On Cloudrunner 2 an environmentally friendly shoe?
Yes, it features a strong commitment to sustainability. The entire upper is made from 100% recycled polyester, and the shoe contains 30% total recycled content, reducing its environmental footprint.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
The Cloudrunner 2 is primarily designed for road running and paved surfaces. While its upgraded outsole offers good traction, it's not specifically engineered for technical or aggressive trail conditions. For light, well-maintained trails, it can perform adequately.
What is the shoe's 'offset' or 'drop'?
The On Cloudrunner 2 has a 10mm offset (also known as heel-to-toe drop). This means the heel is 10mm higher than the forefoot, which is a common drop for many running shoes and can suit a wide range of running gaits.
How should I clean my On Cloudrunner 2 shoes?
To clean, remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Use a cloth or sponge with mild soap and lukewarm water to gently wipe the upper and outsole. Rinse with a clean, damp cloth. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
When should I consider replacing my Cloudrunner 2 shoes?
Running shoes typically need replacing every 300-500 miles, or approximately every 6-12 months for regular runners. Look for signs of wear like flattened cushioning, worn-out outsole tread, or increased discomfort after runs.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable during runs.
Ensure you're wearing appropriate running socks. Re-lace your shoes, ensuring even tension without over-tightening. It might also require a short 'break-in' period over a few easy runs.
Experiencing foot or joint discomfort after runs.
While these shoes offer significant cushioning and stability, ensure they are the right type for your foot strike and biomechanics. Consult a running specialist for a gait analysis if discomfort persists. Also, check the age of your shoes; worn-out cushioning can lead to discomfort.
Outsole still picks up small stones despite the new design.
While the design minimizes stone retention, it's not entirely impossible in certain conditions (e.g., very loose gravel). Periodically check the outsole after runs and gently remove any lodged debris with a stick or similar tool to maintain optimal traction.
Shoes develop an odor.
Allow shoes to air out completely after each run by removing insoles. You can also sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. Ensure proper drying after cleaning.
Upper material shows signs of premature wear.
Inspect your lacing technique to ensure it's not causing excessive friction. Avoid abrasive surfaces if possible, and clean regularly to prevent dirt from degrading the material.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Maximal Cushioning: Deep stack of Helion Superfoam and CloudTec provides superior comfort.
- High Energy Return: Experience a springier, more responsive ride thanks to the updated midsole.
- Eco-Conscious: Significant use of recycled materials supports sustainability efforts.
- Enhanced Stability: Ideal for runners needing extra support to maintain an efficient stride.
- Stone-Free Outsole: Designed to avoid picking up debris, ensuring smoother runs.
- Comfort-Focused Upper: Plush tongue and reinforced heel clip offer a secure and comfortable fit.
Cons
- Structured Feel: Might feel too supportive or less flexible for runners who prefer a more minimalist or neutral shoe.
- Specific Offset: The 10mm drop may not suit all biomechanical preferences.
- Weight (relative to minimalist shoes): While lightweight for a structured shoe, it's not the lightest option overall.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Unlace the shoes fully before putting them on.
- Foot Placement: Slide your foot into the shoe, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated in the heel cup.
- Lacing Technique: Start lacing from the bottom eyelets, tightening evenly to ensure a secure but not constrictive fit. Use all eyelets for optimal support. Ensure the tongue lies flat against your foot.
- Fit Check: Stand up and walk around. Your toes should have enough room to wiggle, and your heel should feel locked in without slipping.
Compatibility
- Running Type: Ideal for daily training, long runs, recovery runs, and for runners seeking high cushioning and stability.
- Foot Type: Best suited for runners who may overpronate slightly or those who prefer a more structured, supportive shoe.
- Surfaces: Excellent for road running, paved paths, and light, well-maintained trails. The improved outsole handles various terrains well.
- Activities: While primarily a running shoe, its comfort makes it suitable for extended walking or standing.
Care
- Cleaning:
- Remove excess dirt with a soft brush (an old toothbrush works well) after each run.
- For deeper cleaning, mix mild soap (like dish soap) with lukewarm water.
- Use a cloth or sponge dipped in the soapy water to gently wipe down the upper and outsole.
- Wipe off soap residue with a clean, damp cloth.
- Avoid: Machine washing or drying, as this can damage materials and adhesives. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry your shoes naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, which can warp materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Remove insoles occasionally to air them out, which can help prevent odors.
- Lifespan: Running shoes typically last 300-500 miles, depending on your running style, weight, and terrain. Monitor the outsole wear and midsole cushioning for signs of needing replacement.
