FAQs
Are the On Cloudswift 4 suitable for marathon running?
The Cloudswift 4 offers good cushioning and responsiveness, making it suitable for marathon training and even racing for some runners. However, for dedicated marathoners seeking maximum cushioning or a specific race-day feel, other models might be preferred.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size guide provided by On Running. It is generally recommended to have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Trying them on in person is the best way to ensure a proper fit.
Can I wear these shoes for gym workouts?
While the Cloudswift 4 can handle light gym activities, they are primarily designed for road running. For weightlifting or lateral movements, a more stable training shoe might be a better choice.
How long do the Cloudswift 4 typically last?
With proper care and for average mileage (around 30-40 miles per week), you can expect the Cloudswift 4 to last between 300-500 miles before the cushioning and support significantly diminish.
What is the difference between the Cloudswift 4 and previous versions?
The Cloudswift 4 features an updated midfoot structure for enhanced support and lockdown, along with refinements to the Helion™ superfoam and Speedboard® for an optimized ride. The upper design may also see aesthetic and material updates.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the On Cloudswift 4 are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable materials to keep your feet cool during runs, which means they are not resistant to water.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight.
Loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot. Ensure you are using the correct UK size. If still uncomfortable, consider a different model or brand with a wider fit.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness.
Ensure the Speedboard® is not compromised. Check for any debris lodged in the Cloud elements. If the issue persists after significant mileage, the cushioning may have naturally decreased with wear.
Slipping on wet surfaces.
While the outsole offers good traction, wet conditions can be challenging for any shoe. Run with caution on very slick surfaces. The textured outsole provides some grip, but be mindful of limitations.
Heel slippage.
Try a different lacing technique, such as a heel lock or runner's knot, to secure the heel more firmly. Ensure the sock-like collar is properly engaging with your ankle.
