FAQs
Who is the On Cloudflow 5 designed for?
The Cloudflow 5 is designed for adult male runners looking for speed in their training sessions and races. It suits both dedicated runners and casual runners aiming to improve their pace.
What is the main benefit of the Helion HF foam?
The Helion HF foam provides lightweight cushioning with excellent energy return, helping to make your faster miles feel more effortless and propulsive.
How does the Speedboard contribute to performance?
The glass fibre and nylon blend Speedboard is integrated into the midsole to give an extra 'pop' of energy with each stride, enhancing forward momentum.
What is the typical use case for the Cloudflow 5?
This shoe is best suited for tempo runs, interval training, fast training runs, and race day due to its emphasis on speed and responsiveness.
How should I clean my Cloudflow 5 trainers?
Clean them using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing. Always allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
What is the weight and heel-to-toe drop of this shoe?
The shoe weighs 270g (UK 8.5) and has a heel-to-toe drop of 8mm (36mm stack height at the heel, 28mm at the forefoot).
Is this shoe suitable for long, slow recovery runs?
While it offers cushioning, its primary design is for speed. For very long or slow recovery runs, a shoe with a more plush, less responsive cushioning profile might be preferred.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces, particularly around the midfoot, and re-tie them, ensuring a snug but not constricting fit. Check if the size is appropriate for your foot.
Lack of cushioning feel
Ensure the Helion HF foam layer is positioned correctly against your foot. The cushioning is designed to be responsive rather than overly plush. Try them for a faster run where their performance is more apparent.
Slipping in wet conditions
While the rubber outsole offers good traction, extremely wet surfaces can reduce grip. Run with caution on very wet or slick surfaces.
Upper feels restrictive
The engineered mesh provides containment. Ensure laces are not overtightened. For runners preferring a very flexible upper, this model might require adjustment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: After runs, gently brush off loose dirt. For a deeper clean, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged compression or storing heavy objects on top of the shoes.
- Rotation: For maximum lifespan and to allow the midsole materials to recover, consider rotating with another pair of running shoes.
