FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?

Yes, the dual-density Helion superfoam midsole provides responsive and protective cushioning that is well-suited for various distances, including longer runs, offering comfort mile after mile.

How do I choose the right size for On Running Cloudswift 4?

On Running trainers generally run true to size. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size. For best results, measure your foot and consult a brand-specific size chart if available.

Can I machine wash my Cloudswift 4 trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technology. Please refer to the 'Care & Maintenance' section for proper cleaning instructions.

What type of terrain are these trainers best suited for?

The Cloudswift 4 is designed with a grippy sole for excellent traction primarily on paved roads, sidewalks, tracks, and light, well-maintained trails. They are not intended for heavy off-road or highly technical trail running.

What is the purpose of the 'Speedboard' in these trainers?

The nylon-blend Speedboard is a key technology embedded in the midsole. It works by flexing with your foot, providing a firm base for energy transfer and helping to propel you forward, delivering an energetic and responsive ride.

Are these trainers breathable for hot weather?

Yes, the Cloudswift 4 features a snug, airy knit upper specifically engineered for enhanced breathability, helping to keep your feet cool and comfortable even during warmer conditions or intense activity.

What is Helion superfoam?

Helion superfoam is On Running's proprietary cushioning technology. It's a dual-density foam that combines soft, protective landings with responsive take-offs, providing durable performance in various temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Trainer feels too loose or too tight

Adjust the lacing system. Experiment with different lacing patterns to find the optimal fit for your foot shape. Ensure even tension across the laces.

Foot feels warm or sweaty during use

The airy knit upper is designed for breathability. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking athletic socks. Consider the ambient temperature and intensity of your activity.

Sole traction seems to be decreasing

Regularly clean the grippy sole to remove embedded dirt, mud, or small stones, which can reduce effective traction. Check for signs of excessive wear on the outsole treads.

Unusual squeaking sound while walking/running

Sometimes new shoes can squeak. This often resolves with a few uses as materials settle. If it persists, ensure laces are not too tight or rubbing, and check for any debris caught in the sole.

Pain or discomfort after prolonged wear

Ensure you have the correct size and fit. While the Cloudswift 4 offers excellent cushioning, individual biomechanics vary. Consult a professional if discomfort persists or if you suspect it's not the right shoe for your specific needs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

First Use & Fit

  1. Lacing: Loosen the laces, slide your foot in, and then progressively tighten from the bottom upwards. Ensure a snug fit across the midfoot without restricting toe movement. There should be a small gap (thumb's width) between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
  2. Break-In Period: While Cloudswift 4 trainers are comfortable out of the box, allow for a few shorter runs or walks to fully adapt to their unique cushioning and Speedboard feel.

Compatibility

  • Foot Type: Designed for a neutral running gait. The adaptive cushioning accommodates various foot strikes.
  • Socks: Pair with high-quality athletic socks that wick moisture to maximize comfort and breathability.

Care & Maintenance

  • Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the textile and synthetic upper with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary). Avoid harsh detergents.
  • Cleaning the Sole: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to remove dirt and debris from the grippy sole unit.
  • Drying: Always air dry your trainers naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers, as high heat can damage materials and adhesives.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures when not in use. Keep them free from excessive moisture.
  • Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash your trainers, as this can severely damage the structural integrity and cushioning properties.
