On Cloudswift - White - Size: 5 UK

Yes, the On Cloudswift Juniors are designed for versatility and comfort, making them an excellent choice for daily school wear, active play, and general athletic activities. Their easy-on design is also convenient for kids.

Gently brush off loose dirt. For stains, use a soft cloth or brush with mild soap and cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals. Air dry away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or dry.

CloudTec® refers to the individual 'clouds' on the sole that compress for cushioning and then lock for a firm push-off. Helion™ superfoam is the specific material compound that makes up these clouds, providing lightweight, durable, and temperature-resistant cushioning for high energy return.

The On Cloudswift Juniors feature a breathable mesh upper, which is not waterproof. They are designed to allow airflow, so they will not keep feet dry in wet conditions.

For active children, running shoes typically need replacing every 4-6 months, or sooner if visible wear (worn-down treads, loss of cushioning, tears in the upper) becomes apparent. Rapid growth spurts may also necessitate earlier replacement due to sizing.

While versatile for general activity, the On Cloudswift Juniors are optimized for running and linear movements. For sports requiring significant lateral movement, quick stops, or specialized ankle support like soccer or basketball, sport-specific footwear is recommended for optimal performance and injury prevention.

Ensure the child is wearing appropriate socks (not too thick or thin). Check the shoe size against a reliable sizing chart; sometimes a half size up or down can make a big difference. The bungee laces are designed for convenience, but for very specific foot shapes, traditional lace shoes might offer a more customizable fit.

The mesh upper is designed for breathability. Ensure the child is wearing moisture-wicking athletic socks made from synthetic blends or wool, rather than cotton, which can trap moisture. Allow shoes to air out completely between uses.

Regularly inspect the outsole for wear patterns. Uneven wear can sometimes indicate gait issues, which might warrant professional assessment. For quick wear, consider the surfaces the shoes are primarily used on; abrasive surfaces can accelerate wear. Ensure they are used for their intended purpose (road running, daily activities) and not overly aggressive off-road conditions.

Remove insoles and allow both the insoles and shoes to air dry completely. Sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside the shoes and let it sit overnight, then shake out. Using moisture-wicking socks can also help prevent odor buildup. Do not store shoes in a damp or poorly ventilated area.
