Troubleshooting

My Cloudflyer 5 shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable during my run.

On Running shoes often have a snug fit. It's recommended to try at least half a size larger than your usual shoe size. If you've already purchased them, try adjusting the lacing to relieve pressure points. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks.

I'm experiencing less traction than expected, especially in wet conditions.

While the updated rubber outsole provides high traction, regularly check the outsole for any embedded small stones, mud, or debris that might be reducing grip. Clean the sole thoroughly. If the issue persists and the shoes have significant mileage, the outsole might be worn, indicating it's time for a new pair.

My feet feel excessively hot or sweaty in the shoes.

The engineered mesh upper is designed for optimal breathability. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking running socks, as cotton socks can trap moisture. Check if the mesh is clean and unobstructed. If issues persist, consider whether the shoe is adequately ventilated for extreme heat or if your foot requires even more airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

When first using your Cloudflyer 5, ensure you achieve a secure and comfortable fit. The lacing system is straightforward; adjust it to be snug without being overly tight. Due to the On Running brand's generally tighter fit, it is strongly recommended to opt for at least half a size larger than your usual shoe size. This allows adequate toe room, crucial for comfort during running and to prevent discomfort or injury on longer runs.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed specifically for road running. They are ideal for female runners seeking a high-cushioned and supportive shoe for various activities including long runs, daily training, and even faster-paced workouts. While built for performance, their stylish design also makes them suitable for active casual wear.

Care

To ensure the longevity and performance of your On Cloudflyer 5, proper care is essential:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with lukewarm water and a small amount of mild soap (e.g., laundry detergent) to gently clean the engineered mesh upper and rubber outsole. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
  • Drying: Allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  • Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
  • Maintenance: Regularly check the outsole for embedded debris and remove it carefully to maintain optimal traction. Inspect laces for wear and replace if necessary.
