FAQs

How do I determine the correct size for On Cloudrunner 2 trainers?

It is generally recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to On's size chart. Many runners find sizing up half a size from their regular shoe size beneficial for running shoes to accommodate foot swelling during activity. Try them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen.

Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?

Yes, with their generous CloudTec cushioning and Zero-Gravity foam, the Cloudrunner 2 are well-suited for long-distance running, providing comfort and impact absorption over many miles.

Can I use these trainers for cross-training or gym workouts?

While primarily designed for running, the Cloudrunner 2 can be used for light cross-training or gym activities. However, for specialized movements like heavy lifting or agility drills, dedicated cross-training shoes might offer better stability and support.

How often should I clean my Cloudrunner 2 trainers?

Clean your trainers as needed to remove dirt and mud, especially after runs in challenging conditions. Regular light cleaning helps maintain their appearance and material integrity. Refer to the 'Care' section for detailed cleaning instructions.

What is the purpose of the Speedboard?

The Speedboard is an embedded plate designed to convert the energy from your foot's landing into forward propulsion. It provides a dynamic and responsive feel, enhancing the 'kick' during toe-off and contributing to an energetic ride.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The On Cloudrunner 2 trainers feature a breathable mesh upper, which is not waterproof. They will allow water to pass through. For wet weather running, consider shoes specifically designed with waterproof membranes like GORE-TEX versions, if available.

Troubleshooting

Foot discomfort or rubbing during runs

Ensure your lacing isn't too tight or too loose. Experiment with different lacing patterns. Make sure you're wearing appropriate running socks. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct shoe size and width.

Shoes feel less responsive over time

Running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles. If your shoes are nearing this range, the cushioning and Speedboard may have lost their effectiveness. Consider replacing them. Info needed: [Consult manufacturer's specific mileage recommendations].

Slipping on wet surfaces despite 'grippy' outsole

While the outsole is designed for grip, no shoe is entirely slip-proof on all wet surfaces. Adjust your stride, reduce speed, and be extra cautious in wet or slick conditions. Check the outsole for wear; worn outsoles offer reduced traction.

Unpleasant odor from shoes

After each run, remove insoles and allow shoes to air out completely. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure shoes are thoroughly dry before storage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Cloudrunner 2 trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply lace them up to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Experiment with different lacing techniques to best suit your foot shape and running style.

Compatibility

These trainers are primarily designed for road running and mixed-surface routes, including pavements, asphalt, and well-maintained light trails. The grippy rubber outsole offers reliable traction on these surfaces. While versatile, they may not provide optimal performance or protection for technical mountain trails or extremely muddy conditions.

Care

To ensure the longevity of your On Cloudrunner 2 trainers:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe off dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution. Avoid machine washing, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can cause materials to shrink or warp.
  • Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check the outsole for embedded debris and clean as necessary to maintain optimal grip.
