FAQs

What kind of activities are the Cloudswift 4 trainers best suited for?

The Cloudswift 4 is ideal for road running, urban walking, daily commutes, and everyday wear. Its exceptional cushioning and responsive ride make it perfect for activities on paved surfaces.

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The Cloudswift 4 features an adaptive mesh upper designed to provide a snug yet flexible fit. While not specifically a 'wide fit' shoe, many users find the mesh accommodating. It's always best to try them on to ensure optimal comfort for your specific foot shape.

How often should I clean my Cloudswift 4 trainers?

Regular cleaning helps maintain appearance and extends shoe life. We recommend brushing off dirt after each use and performing a deeper clean with mild soap and water as needed, especially if they appear soiled. Avoid machine washing.

What is the weight of a single Cloudswift 4 trainer?

Each On Running Cloudswift 4 trainer weighs approximately 278g (for a typical men's size), contributing to its lightweight feel and reducing foot fatigue during wear.

Can I use these trainers for trail running?

The Cloudswift 4 is optimized for road and urban environments. While the rubber grip provides good traction on pavement, its sole and upper construction are not designed for the demands of technical trail running. For trails, On Running offers other models better suited for off-road conditions.

What does 'rockered geometry' mean for my running experience?

Rockered geometry refers to the curvature of the sole, which is designed to promote a smoother and more efficient transition from heel strike to toe-off. This can help you maintain momentum and improve your running gait.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable after prolonged wear.

Ensure you are using the correct lacing technique; try loosening laces across the top of the foot or adjusting them to skip eyelets where pressure is felt. Allow for a short break-in period as the materials adapt to your foot shape. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct shoe size, as feet can swell during activity.

Lack of grip on certain surfaces.

While Cloudswift 4 features robust rubber grip inserts for urban environments, they are primarily designed for road and paved surfaces. Performance may vary on wet, icy, or very slippery natural terrain. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris that could reduce traction.

CloudTec® pods seem to collect small stones.

This can occasionally happen with the unique CloudTec® design. Most small stones will dislodge naturally. For stubborn ones, gently remove them with your fingers or a small, blunt tool. This does not typically affect performance or durability.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior Comfort & Cushioning: CloudTec® and Helion™ superfoam deliver excellent impact absorption and a soft, responsive feel.
  • Exceptional Breathability: Mesh upper with perforated toe box keeps feet cool and dry, preventing discomfort during activity.
  • Lightweight: At 278g, these trainers reduce fatigue, ideal for extended wear and running.
  • Enhanced Energy Return: Speedboard technology provides a propelling sensation, boosting performance.
  • Versatile Use: Suitable for both everyday wear and active pursuits like running on pavement.
  • Durable Traction: Robust rubber grip inserts ensure stability on various surfaces.

Cons

  • Specialized Feel: The CloudTec® system might feel different compared to traditional soles, potentially requiring an adaptation period.
  • White Color Maintenance: The crisp white color may require more frequent cleaning to maintain its aesthetic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting Started (Setup)

  1. Lacing: Utilize the traditional lace-up system to secure your foot. Ensure a snug fit without being too tight, allowing for natural foot expansion during activity.
  2. Break-In Period: While generally comfortable from the start, allow a few short walks or runs for your feet to fully adapt to the unique CloudTec® cushioning and rockered geometry.

Compatibility

  • Activity Type: Ideal for road running, urban walking, daily wear, and light training activities. They perform best on paved surfaces and are less suited for rugged trail running.
  • Foot Type: Designed to offer a supportive, adaptive fit for a wide range of foot types. The responsive cushioning benefits neutral runners, while the stable platform can provide some support for mild overpronation.

Care Instructions

  • Cleaning: For routine cleaning, gently brush off loose dirt. Use a mild soap (like dish soap diluted in water) and a soft brush or cloth to clean the mesh upper and midsole. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers) as this can damage materials and adhesives.
  • Washing Machine: It is generally not recommended to machine wash your trainers as it can damage the cushioning, glues, and upper materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing with newspaper can help maintain shape and absorb moisture.
  • Odor Control: Remove insoles to air out after use. Consider using shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside overnight to help absorb odors.
