FAQs
Can I use these for marathon running?
While capable of various distances, the Cloud 5 is best suited for shorter to mid-distance runs. Long-distance specialists may prefer the more cushioned Cloudmonster series.
Are the laces replaceable?
Yes, you can swap the speed laces for standard laces if you prefer a traditional tie-up method.
How do I know if the fit is right?
You should have about a thumbnail's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to allow for natural foot swelling.
Does this shoe provide arch support?
The Cloud 5 is a neutral trainer, meaning it provides balanced, natural support rather than aggressive arch correction.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the standard Cloud 5 uses a breathable mesh designed for airflow, not water resistance.
Troubleshooting
Speed laces feel too tight or loose
Adjust the toggle on the lacing system to distribute tension evenly across the midfoot.
Debris stuck in the sole pods
Use a dull, non-metallic tool or your finger to gently pry debris out after your run.
Shoe feels slippery on wet surfaces
Ensure the outsole pods are clean and free of debris, as the surface area of the cloud elements can lose traction if clogged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive brushes that might damage the mesh.
- Drying: Air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the foam cushioning.
- Machine Washing: While possible on a delicate cycle, hand washing is highly recommended to preserve the integrity of the cloud elements.
- Debris: Periodically inspect the outsole to remove any stones or debris lodged between the pods to maintain optimal grip.
