FAQs
What type of runner is the On Cloudflyer 5 designed for?
The Cloudflyer 5 is ideal for runners who prioritize premium cushioning, comfort, and supportive hold. It's excellent for long-distance running, daily training, and even faster sessions on the road.
How does the cushioning system work?
It features a dual-density midsole incorporating On's CloudTec® and Helion™ foam technologies. This combination provides both soft landings and energetic take-offs, with higher measurable impact absorption.
What is the heel drop of these shoes?
The On Cloudflyer 5 has a heel drop of 10mm, with a stack height of 31mm in the heel and 21mm in the forefoot.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
While the updated outsole offers good traction, the Cloudflyer 5 is primarily engineered for road running. Its support and cushioning system are optimized for paved and urban surfaces rather than technical trails.
Are these shoes environmentally friendly?
Yes, the Cloudflyer 5 is built with sustainability in mind, incorporating over 25% total recycled materials in its construction.
How should I clean my On Cloudflyer 5 shoes?
It's best to hand wash them. Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap and water to clean the upper and outsole. Air dry them completely at room temperature, away from direct heat.
What does 'supportive hold' mean for this shoe?
The supportive hold comes from features like the wider platform, asymmetric dual-density bottom unit construction, and a molded heel clip. These elements work together to cradle and secure your foot, providing stability without being overly rigid.
What is the expected lifespan of the On Cloudflyer 5?
Like most running shoes, the lifespan depends on usage, runner's weight, and running style. Generally, running shoes last between 300-500 miles before the cushioning and support begin to degrade.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort or rubbing during runs
Check your sock choice for proper cushioning and fit. Ensure the shoes are correctly laced, not too tight or too loose. Allow for a break-in period; if discomfort persists, re-evaluate sizing or consult a running specialist.
Slipping on wet surfaces despite updated outsole
While the outsole offers improved traction, always exercise caution on very wet or slick surfaces. Inspect the outsole for any embedded debris or excessive wear that might reduce grip. Ensure your foot strike is stable.
Shoes feel less cushioned over time
Cushioning materials can compact with use. The lifespan of running shoes typically ranges from 300-500 miles, depending on individual running style and weight. Consider tracking your mileage and replacing shoes when cushioning feels diminished.
