FAQs
What type of running is the On Cloudflyer 5 best suited for?
The On Cloudflyer 5 is best suited for long-distance training runs, daily mileage, and general training where high levels of cushioning, comfort, and supportive stability are desired. It can also be used for fast training sessions.
What is the heel drop of the Cloudflyer 5?
The On Cloudflyer 5 has a heel drop of 10mm, with a stack height of 31mm in the heel and 21mm in the forefoot.
How should I clean my On Cloudflyer 5 shoes?
To clean your shoes, use a soft brush or cloth with lukewarm water and a mild soap. Gently scrub away dirt, then rinse thoroughly. Air dry them away from direct heat sources. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.
Are these shoes suitable for runners who need extra support?
Yes, the Cloudflyer 5 is specifically designed to offer a confidence-inspiring supportive hold. It features a wider platform, an asymmetric dual-density bottom unit, and a molded heel clip to provide enhanced stability and security.
What is Helion cushioning?
Helion is On's superfoam, a specialized cushioning technology designed to provide both high impact absorption and energy return. It offers protection and comfort for long runs while remaining lightweight.
Are the On Cloudflyer 5 environmentally friendly?
Yes, the On Cloudflyer 5 is constructed with over 25% total recycled materials, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
While the updated rubber pod outsole provides good traction, the Cloudflyer 5 is primarily designed and optimized for road running. For dedicated trail running, a shoe with a more aggressive lug pattern and reinforced upper would be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel hot or sweaty during runs.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking running socks. The engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability, but proper sock choice significantly impacts foot temperature and comfort. Allow shoes to air out completely between runs.
I experience some heel slippage.
Check your lacing technique. You may benefit from using a 'heel lock' lacing method (also known as a 'runner's knot') to create a more secure fit around the ankle and prevent heel movement. Ensure the shoe size is correct; too large a size can cause slippage.
The cushioning feels less responsive over time.
Cushioning materials can compress and lose responsiveness after extensive use. This is a normal sign of shoe wear. If you've accumulated significant mileage (e.g., 300+ miles), it might be time to consider replacing your shoes. Ensure proper cleaning and drying to maintain material integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
First Use & Setup
- Lacing: Ensure proper lacing to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you experience pressure points or heel slippage. The shoe is designed to cradle your foot, so avoid over-tightening.
- Break-in: While the Cloudflyer 5 offers great step-in comfort, allow for a few shorter runs (3-5 miles) to fully break them in and allow the cushioning to adapt to your stride.
Compatibility
- Running Surface: Primarily designed for road running (pavement, asphalt, light gravel paths). The outsole's traction is optimized for these surfaces.
- Runner Type: Ideal for runners seeking high cushioning, support, and comfort for daily training, long runs, and recovery runs. Suitable for various foot strikes due to its balanced cushioning and 10mm drop.
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: Gently clean your shoes with a soft brush or cloth, lukewarm water, and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials and glues.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can cause materials to shrink or crack.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prolong their lifespan.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and allow both shoes and insoles to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
- Longevity: Running shoes typically last between 300-500 miles, depending on individual running style, weight, and terrain. Monitor the outsole wear and cushioning feel to determine when it's time for a new pair.
