FAQs

What is the primary intended use for the On Cloudflow 5?

The On Cloudflow 5 is primarily designed for speed work, fast training sessions, tempo runs, and shorter races like 5k or 10k, where accessible speed and energy return are beneficial.

How does the Helion HF foam differ from regular Helion foam?

Helion HF (High-Fusion) foam is On's pinnacle foam, offering enhanced energy return and responsiveness compared to standard Helion foam, making it ideal for faster running dynamics.

Is the Cloudflow 5 suitable for marathon running?

While the shoe offers cushioning and energy return, its primary design focus is on faster paces. For very long distances like marathons, runners may prefer models with more substantial cushioning or a different ride characteristic, though some may find it suitable for marathon training if they prioritize a faster feel.

What is the purpose of the Speedboard in this shoe?

The Speedboard, made from a glass fibre and nylon blend in the Cloudflow 5, is engineered to provide an additional pop of energy and aid in forward propulsion, enhancing the shoe's performance during faster efforts.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by On Running. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart. Trying them on in person or consulting customer reviews regarding fit can also be helpful.

Can I wear these shoes for everyday casual use?

Yes, the Cloudflow 5 can be worn for casual use due to its comfortable cushioning and stylish design. However, consistent casual wear might accelerate wear on the performance-oriented outsole and midsole components.

What is the stack height and heel offset?

The Cloudflow 5 has a stack height of 36mm (forefoot) and 28mm (heel), resulting in a heel offset of 8mm.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Adjust the lacing system to find a more comfortable fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. If the issue persists after a few runs, consider if this specific model's fit is suitable for your foot shape.

Reduced energy return or cushioning feels flat

Ensure the shoe's midsole and Speedboard are clean and free from debris. Over time, foam can compress; if the shoes have significant mileage, the cushioning may naturally decrease.

Slipping on wet surfaces

The outsole is designed for durable traction, but performance on very wet or slick surfaces can vary. Exercise caution in such conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris.

Upper material feels restrictive

The engineered mesh is designed for containment. Try loosening the laces slightly around the midfoot area. The material may also break in and become more pliable with continued use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent energy return for faster paces.
  • Lightweight cushioning enhances comfort during speed work.
  • Supportive Speedboard provides a noticeable propulsive feel.
  • Breathable upper ensures good ventilation.
  • Rocker design aids in a smooth, forward-rolling stride.

Cons

  • May require a period of adjustment for runners new to performance trainers.
  • The focus on speed might make them less ideal for very long, slow runs for some individuals.
  • Durability of the Helion HF foam under extreme, frequent high-mileage use may vary.
  • The firm ride could be less comfortable for runners seeking maximum plushness.
  • Specific colorways might be limited in availability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The On Cloudflow 5 requires no special setup. Simply remove them from the box, and they are ready for your first run. Ensure you lace them appropriately for a secure, comfortable fit, adjusting to your preference for snugness across the midfoot.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and light trail use. They are compatible with most standard running socks. They are not designed for highly technical off-road terrain or extreme weather conditions.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Cloudflow 5 trainers:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the materials and construction.
  2. Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape during the drying process.
  3. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for extended periods.
  4. Rotation: For optimal performance and to extend the life of your shoes, consider rotating them with another pair of running shoes if you run frequently.
