Full details
The On Cloudflow 5 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking to enhance their speed during training sessions and races. They offer a blend of lightweight cushioning and responsive energy return, thanks to their advanced foam and Speedboard technology. A key caveat is that while they incorporate elements from pinnacle race shoes, they are optimized for accessibility to a wider range of runners, meaning dedicated elite athletes might seek more specialized models.

FAQs
Are the On Cloudflow 5 suitable for marathon running?
The Cloudflow 5 is designed for speed work and fast training sessions. While they can be used for marathons, runners seeking maximum cushioning and comfort for ultra-long distances might prefer models with a higher stack height or softer foam compositions.
How do the Helion HF foam and Speedboard work together?
The Helion HF foam provides lightweight cushioning directly underfoot, while the glass fibre and nylon Speedboard sits beneath it. This combination works to absorb impact and then efficiently transfer energy, giving you a propulsive feel with each step.
What is the difference between Cloudflow and other On running shoe series?
The Cloudflow series is generally positioned for fast road running and training. Other series like Cloudmonster focus on maximum cushioning, while Cloudboom Echo targets elite racing with advanced carbon plate technology.
Can I use these shoes for cross-training activities?
While primarily designed for running, the supportive upper and responsive nature of the Cloudflow 5 might make them suitable for some lighter cross-training. However, for activities requiring significant lateral stability, dedicated cross-training shoes are recommended.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without excessive slipping, and the midfoot should feel comfortably snug.
What is the heel-to-toe drop on the Cloudflow 5?
The Cloudflow 5 has a heel offset of 8mm, which is a moderate drop designed to facilitate a smooth transition and forward momentum.
Troubleshooting
Slipping sensation in the shoe
Ensure the laces are tied securely. If the issue persists, consider using a runner's knot or checking if the shoe size is appropriate.
Discomfort during initial runs
New shoes often require a break-in period. Try shorter runs initially and gradually increase mileage. Ensure the lacing provides adequate support without being too tight.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness
Over time, cushioning materials can compress. For the Cloudflow 5, check the condition of the midsole foam and the Speedboard. If significant wear is apparent, it may be time for replacement.
Poor traction on wet surfaces
While the outsole offers good coverage, wet conditions can reduce grip for any shoe. Run with caution on slick surfaces and ensure the outsole rubber is not worn down.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent energy return for faster running.
- Lightweight cushioning for comfort during long runs.
- Breathable upper keeps feet cool.
- Durable outsole provides reliable grip.
- Rocker design aids forward momentum.
Cons
- May not offer the extreme responsiveness needed by elite racers.

- Designed primarily for speed, may lack the plushness of some recovery shoes.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The On Cloudflow 5 requires no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal performance and comfort. It is recommended to try them on indoors before a significant run to confirm fit.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and track workouts. They are compatible with most running surfaces, though their performance is optimized for harder, smoother terrains.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove surface dirt after runs. For deeper cleaning, remove the insoles and hand wash the shoes with mild soap and cold water. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
