On Running Cloudswift Children - On

The On Running Cloudswift Children's Trainers are optimized for active daily wear, light running, playground activities, and general active play. While they offer excellent cushioning and support, for competitive sports requiring specialized performance features, dedicated sports footwear designed for that specific activity might be more appropriate.

The elastic laces are designed for convenience, allowing children to easily slip the shoes on and off without the need for tying. They provide a flexible, adaptive fit rather than a traditional adjustable tie mechanism. The bootie inner construction also works in conjunction with the elastic laces to provide a secure, comfortable feel.

CloudTec is On Running's signature cushioning technology. It features individual 'cloud' elements in the sole that compress upon impact to absorb vertical and horizontal shock, then lock together to provide a firm, stable foundation for a powerful, responsive push-off. This results in a unique soft landing followed by an explosive take-off.

We recommend hand-cleaning these trainers to maintain their quality. Use a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild, diluted soap to gently wipe the textile and synthetic upper. Avoid submerging them in water or using a washing machine, as this can damage the materials, cushioning, and overall structure. Always allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.

On Running typically designs its footwear to fit true to size. However, children's feet grow rapidly, so it's always best practice to measure your child's foot and compare it to any available brand-specific size chart. If possible, trying them on ensures the most accurate and comfortable fit.

Yes, the Cloudswift Children's Trainers are constructed with a robust combination of textile and synthetic materials in the upper and sole. They also feature integrated TPU elements for added protection, making them designed to withstand the typical wear and tear associated with active children's play and daily use.

These trainers are specifically designated for children. The sizing and design features, such as easy-fit elastic laces and protective elements, cater to the needs of younger wearers, typically from toddler to pre-teen age groups, depending on foot size.

Ensure the child is wearing appropriate socks (not too thick or thin). While elastic laces provide flexibility, if the fit consistently feels off, it's recommended to re-check the child's current foot measurements against a size guide. Consider trying a half-size up or down if available.

Instruct the child to fully utilize both the heel and tongue pull tabs simultaneously. This action helps to open the shoe's collar wider, making foot entry easier. The bootie inner is designed to provide a secure fit once the foot is inside.

Establish a routine of wiping down the upper with a damp cloth immediately after each use, especially after outdoor play. For more persistent marks, use a soft brush with a mild soap solution, then wipe clean and allow to air dry. Regular, light cleaning is more effective than infrequent deep cleaning.

First, verify that the shoes are the correct size and not too small or too large, which can cause rubbing. Check for any debris inside the shoe. Ensure socks are breathable and cushioning. If discomfort persists, especially in specific areas, consult with a footwear specialist or pediatrician to rule out underlying issues (Info needed: If discomfort is severe or persists, seek professional medical advice).

While the outsole is designed for good traction, no shoe can provide absolute grip on all surfaces, especially wet or extremely smooth ones. Advise caution in such conditions. Regularly inspect the outsole for excessive wear, which could reduce its effectiveness. If significant wear is present, replacement may be necessary.
