Product Information

Full details

The On Cloudflow 5 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking speed and responsive cushioning for both speed work and fast training sessions. Its key benefit is providing a fast, effortless feel with excellent energy return, powered by premium foam and a Speedboard. A potential caveat is that the focus on speed may mean it's less ideal for very long, slow runs where maximum comfort is prioritized over responsiveness.

FAQs

What type of runner is the Cloudflow 5 best suited for?

The Cloudflow 5 is ideal for runners looking to enhance their speed, particularly those who engage in speed work, tempo runs, and fast training sessions. It's also suitable for casual runners wanting a responsive feel for quicker miles.

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

Helion HF is a pinnacle foam used in On's top-tier race shoes, offering enhanced lightness and superior energy return compared to standard Helion foam, which is used in the CloudTec pods for foundational cushioning.

What is the purpose of the Speedboard?

The glass fibre and nylon blend Speedboard is engineered to enhance energy transfer with each stride, providing a propulsive 'pop' that contributes to a faster running experience.

Can I use the Cloudflow 5 for long-distance running?

While the cushioning is present, the shoe is optimized for speed. For very long or slow endurance runs, other models might offer more sustained comfort. However, it can be used for long runs where maintaining a faster pace is the goal.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The Cloudflow 5 has a heel offset of 8mm, which is a common drop that balances cushioning and a natural foot position.

How do I clean my Cloudflow 5 trainers?

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or drying. Allow them to air dry naturally away from heat sources.

What is the weight of the Cloudflow 5?

The On Cloudflow 5 weighs approximately 270g.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing system for a more personalized fit. If the issue persists, consider if this particular model's fit is suitable for your foot shape.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time

The midsole foam and Speedboard are designed for performance. Consistent use, especially on abrasive surfaces, can lead to natural wear. Ensure you are using the shoes for their intended purpose (speed work, fast training) to maximize their lifespan.

Traction issues on wet surfaces

While the outsole offers durable traction, extreme wet conditions can affect grip. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris. For very slick conditions, exercise caution.

Upper mesh feels less breathable

Ensure the mesh is clean and free from dirt or debris that could clog the pores. Check for any damage to the mesh that might affect airflow.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent energy return for faster running.
  • Lightweight cushioning provides comfort during speed work.
  • Breathable upper ensures foot comfort during intense activity.
  • Durable outsole offers reliable grip.
  • Rocker design aids in a smooth, forward-propelling stride.

Cons

  • May be less suited for ultra-long or very slow runs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The On Cloudflow 5 comes ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It's recommended to wear them with performance running socks.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and track workouts. They are compatible with most standard running surfaces.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use cool water and a mild detergent on a cloth, focusing on the upper mesh and midsole. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials and construction.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
