FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

The Cloudswift 4 is designed to provide energized comfort for urban running, making it suitable for short to medium distances and everyday training runs. For very long distances, some runners might prefer models with even more maximal cushioning.

Can I use these for other types of exercise, like gym workouts?

Yes, while primarily a running shoe, its comfortable cushioning and supportive fit make it a versatile option for light gym workouts, walking, and general daily wear. However, for specialized training like heavy lifting or agility, dedicated cross-training shoes might offer more specific support.

What is the 'CloudTec' technology?

CloudTec is On Running's signature cushioning system, featuring individual 'cloud' elements on the sole that compress upon impact to absorb shock and then lock firm for a powerful push-off, creating a responsive and agile ride.

How does the Speedboard work?

The Speedboard is a thin plate embedded in the midsole (in this case, a nylon blend). It helps to distribute pressure evenly across the CloudTec elements and provides a snappy, propulsive feel, encouraging forward momentum during your stride.

What's the difference between the Cloudswift 4 and the Cloudswift 4 AW?

The Cloudswift 4 (this model) is the running-specific version, featuring a highly breathable flatknit engineered mesh for optimal performance. The Cloudswift 4 AW is a more lifestyle-oriented version with the same underfoot technology but a less breathable, more fashion-focused upper design.

How do I choose the right size?

The On Cloudswift 4 is listed in UK women's sizing. It's generally recommended to measure your foot and refer to On Running's specific size chart. Running shoes often fit slightly larger than casual shoes, and you may consider going up half a size if you are between sizes or prefer more toe room.

Is this shoe good for people with neutral pronation or overpronation?

The Cloudswift 4 is designed with neutral support characteristics, making it ideal for runners with a neutral pronation pattern. For those with significant overpronation, specialized stability shoes might offer better support.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight around the midfoot.

The Cloudswift 4 features a bootie fit and midfoot cage. Try re-lacing, focusing on not overtightening the laces in the midfoot area. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size; shoe fit can vary, and it's essential to have enough room.

Cushioning feels less responsive over time.

Running shoe cushioning can compress with extensive use. Ensure you're rotating your shoes if you run frequently. If the shoes have accumulated significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles), they may need to be replaced.

Feet feel hot during runs despite mesh upper.

While the mesh is highly breathable, sock choice can significantly impact temperature. Try moisture-wicking running socks made from synthetic blends or merino wool to help manage sweat and heat more effectively.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent breathability and ventilation for comfort.
  • Responsive and cushioned ride ideal for urban running.
  • Secure and supportive midfoot fit for stability.
  • Versatile for both running and everyday wear.
  • Modern, urban aesthetic.
  • Durable engineering with quality materials.

Cons

  • Specific version optimized for running (less fashion-forward than the AW variant).
  • The bootie fit might not suit all foot shapes immediately.
  • Cushioning designed for city impact might feel different on trails.
  • Info needed: Specific traction performance on very wet or icy surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply slip on the Cloudswift 4 and use the lace-up fastening system to achieve a snug, secure fit. The bootie construction provides an immediate 'hug' around the foot. Adjust laces to your comfort, ensuring the padded collar and tongue sit correctly to prevent pressure points.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed specifically for women and are optimized for urban running environments, including pavements and sidewalks. They are also highly compatible with daily wear and light gym activities due to their comfort and stylish design. Their 8mm heel offset suits most neutral pronators.

Care: To maintain performance and appearance, clean the mesh upper with a soft brush or damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals, as this can damage materials and cushioning. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Remove insoles occasionally to air them out and prevent odors. Store them in a cool, dry place.
