FAQs
What type of running is the Cloudswift 4 best suited for?
The Cloudswift 4 is ideal for daily training, road running, and urban environments. Its balance of cushioning and responsiveness makes it suitable for moderate to longer distances at various paces.
How often should I replace my Cloudswift 4 shoes?
Most running shoes, including the Cloudswift 4, are recommended for replacement every 300-500 miles (500-800 km), or roughly every 4-6 months, depending on your running style, weight, and terrain. Look for signs of wear such as flattened cushioning or worn outsoles.
Can I use these shoes for walking or casual wear?
While designed for running, the Cloudswift 4's comfort and stylish design make them suitable for walking and casual wear. However, their features are optimized for the demands of running.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the On Running Cloudswift 4 has a breathable one-piece upper with perforations designed for ventilation, not waterproofing. They are not intended for use in heavy rain or wet conditions.
What is the 'Speedboard' and how does it help?
The 'Speedboard' is a nylon-blended plate embedded in the midsole. It works to stabilize your foot and transform the energy from landing into forward motion, providing a smooth transition and a propulsive feel for a more efficient stride.
How should I choose the right size?
It is recommended to measure your foot length and consult On Running's sizing chart. Many runners go up a half size in running shoes compared to their casual shoes to accommodate foot swelling during activity. Ensure there is about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel hot and sweaty during runs.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking running socks. The breathable upper with a perforated toe box is designed to ventilate well, but proper sock choice enhances this. If the issue persists, consider trying a different lacing technique to allow more airflow or running during cooler parts of the day.
The shoes feel too loose around the midfoot.
Tighten the laces more firmly, paying attention to the updated cage construction in the midfoot area. Ensure the laces are evenly snug across your foot. Experiment with different lacing patterns, such as a runner's loop, to create a more secure lockdown in the midfoot.
I'm not feeling the expected cushioning or responsiveness.
Give the shoes a few runs to break them in; the Helion superfoam and Speedboard may need a short period to adapt to your stride. Also, ensure your running form is efficient. If the shoes are old, the cushioning materials may have compressed over time and could indicate it's time for a replacement.

Setup
To prepare your Cloudswift 4 for use, simply loosen the laces, slide your foot in, and then tighten the laces evenly from the forefoot towards the ankle. Ensure the updated cage construction around the midfoot feels secure but not restrictive. Double-knotting is recommended for long runs to prevent untying.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for female runners and are best suited for road running and urban environments. They are compatible with various running gaits due to their balanced cushioning and propulsive elements. They excel in daily training, offering a blend of comfort for longer runs and responsiveness for quicker efforts. They are generally compatible with standard running socks.
Care
To maintain your Cloudswift 4 shoes, follow these general care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to clean the upper and outsole. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage materials and adhesives. For the perforated toe box, gently wipe to keep the ventilation clear.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for prolonged periods.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the outsole for embedded debris and remove it carefully to maintain optimal grip.
