FAQs
Are the On Running Cloudswift 4 trainers suitable for long-distance running?
Yes, their dual-density Helion superfoam midsole and Speedboard are designed to provide both cushioning for comfort and energy return for responsiveness, making them suitable for everyday training and medium to longer distances.
How should I clean my Cloudswift 4 trainers?
Gently clean the upper with a soft brush or cloth using mild soap and cold water. Scrub the sole to remove dirt. Always air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
What kind of terrain are these trainers best suited for?
These trainers are primarily designed for road running and urban environments, offering optimal performance on asphalt, concrete, and paved surfaces.
What is the Speedboard in these trainers?
The Speedboard is a nylon-blend plate embedded in the midsole that works to enhance energy return, helping to propel you forward with each step and make your stride more efficient.
Do the Cloudswift 4 trainers provide good arch support?
The Helion superfoam midsole offers comprehensive cushioning. While it provides good general support, individual arch support needs vary. You may consider adding specialized insoles if you require additional arch support.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the airy knit upper is designed for breathability and comfort, not waterproofing. They are best used in dry to moderately damp conditions.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or rubbing after wearing
Ensure you have the correct size and allow for a short break-in period. Re-tie laces to adjust pressure points. Check your socks for seams or bunching. If discomfort persists, consider an alternative lacing pattern or specialized insoles.
Reduced grip on slightly wet surfaces
While the sole is grippy, caution is advised on all wet or slick surfaces. Regularly clean the sole to ensure no debris is impacting the tread's effectiveness. Avoid worn-out areas on the sole.
Trainer feels too warm or less breathable than expected
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for the weather conditions (e.g., moisture-wicking socks). Allow trainers to air out thoroughly after each use. The airy knit is designed for breathability but can still feel warm in very hot climates.
Loud squeaking noise while walking/running
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and placing a thin layer of baby powder or fabric softener sheet underneath the insole before reinserting it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started with your On Running Cloudswift 4 trainers is straightforward, and proper care will ensure their longevity and performance.
Initial Setup
- Try Them On: Always try on your trainers with the type of socks you typically wear for running or walking to ensure the best fit.
- Lacing: Use the provided laces to secure your foot comfortably. Avoid lacing too tightly, which can restrict circulation, or too loosely, which can cause friction.
- Break-in Period: While often comfortable out of the box, allow a short break-in period (a few short walks or runs) for the shoes to fully adapt to your foot's unique shape and gait.
Compatibility
- Surfaces: Primarily designed for road running and urban walking. The grippy sole offers reliable traction on asphalt, concrete, and paved paths.
- Activities: Ideal for daily training runs, casual jogs, long walks, and general daily wear. They are suitable for various paces due to their balanced cushioning and energy return.
- Foot Type: The neutral cushioning system is generally suitable for a wide range of foot types. Individuals with specific pronation control needs might consider insoles or other specialized shoes.
Product Care
Proper care is essential for maintaining the appearance and performance of your Cloudswift 4 trainers, given their textile and synthetic construction.
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently clean the airy knit upper and synthetic materials with a soft brush or cloth using mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a stiff brush or old toothbrush to remove dirt and debris from the grippy sole.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers). Excessive heat can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the insoles and allow them to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for prolonged periods.
