FAQs

What activities are these trainers best suited for?

The Cloudswift 4 trainers are designed for versatile use, excelling in daily running, walking, and general fitness activities. Their comfort and responsiveness make them great for both active pursuits and casual wear.

How do I clean my Cloudswift 4 trainers?

Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Use a brush for the sole to remove dirt. Always air dry at room temperature; avoid machine washing or drying and direct heat sources.

Are these trainers good for long-distance running?

While providing excellent cushioning for daily runs, they are generally optimized for comfort and responsiveness across various paces rather than being dedicated long-distance specialists. They are well-suited for everyday training and urban runs.

What is the 'Speedboard' and what does it do?

The Nylon-blend Speedboard is an integrated plate within the midsole that helps to propel you forward. It enhances energy return and provides a snappier feel to your stride, making your runs feel more efficient.

How should I choose the right size?

We recommend trying them on with your usual athletic socks. Ensure there's a thumb's width between your longest toe and the shoe's end, and that your heel feels secure without excessive slipping. Sizing can vary, so personal fit is key.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The grippy sole offers good traction, but the airy knit upper is not waterproof. For heavy rain, your feet may get wet. They perform well on damp surfaces but are not designed for extreme wet weather conditions without additional protection.

What is Helion superfoam?

Helion superfoam is On Running's proprietary cushioning material. It is a dual-density foam designed to provide a balance of soft landings and powerful take-offs, offering responsive cushioning that adapts to different impacts and movements.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or loose.

Ensure you're wearing the appropriate socks. Check sizing; individual foot shapes vary. Consider trying a half size up or down if discomfort persists. Lace adjustment can also fine-tune the fit.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.

Cushioning materials can compress with extended use. This is normal wear and tear. While you can't restore original cushioning, rotating with another pair of trainers can extend their overall lifespan. Typically, running shoes are recommended to be replaced every 300-500 miles.

Slipping on wet surfaces.

While the sole is grippy, no shoe is entirely slip-proof on all wet or slick surfaces. Adjust your stride and be cautious on extremely wet or icy conditions. Ensure the sole treads are clean of mud or debris for optimal grip.

Foot odor development.

Remove insoles after use and allow trainers to air out in a well-ventilated area. Use moisture-wicking socks. Consider using shoe deodorizers or placing baking soda sachets inside the shoes when not in use.

Upper material showing signs of wear.

The airy knit upper is durable but can snag. Avoid abrasive surfaces and sharp objects. Regular gentle cleaning helps maintain the material's integrity and appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Achieving Optimal Fit

While trainers don't require complex setup, ensuring the correct fit is paramount for comfort and performance.

  1. Try On: Wear the trainers with your preferred running or walking socks.
  2. Check Length: Ensure about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
  3. Heel Lock: Your heel should feel secure with minimal slipping when you walk or jog.
  4. Midfoot Comfort: Laces should be snug but not tight, allowing for comfortable movement without pressure points.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for:

  • Running: Ideal for daily training, road running, and recovery runs.
  • Walking: Excellent for long walks, urban exploration, and everyday wear.
  • General Fitness: Suitable for gym sessions, light workouts, and active leisure.
  • Surfaces: Best suited for paved roads, sidewalks, and light trails due to their grippy synthetic sole.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care extends the lifespan and maintains the performance of your Cloudswift 4 trainers.

  • Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the textile and synthetic upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush (like an old toothbrush) to remove dirt and debris from the grippy sole.
  • Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
  • Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
  • Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or machine dry your trainers, as this can compromise their structure and materials.
  • Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and allow both the shoes and insoles to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers.
