FAQs
What type of activities are the On Running Cloudnova X best suited for?
They are designed for versatility, ideal for gym training, cross-training, short runs, and everyday casual wear. They offer good cushioning and lateral support.
What is the heel-to-toe drop on these trainers?
The heel-to-toe drop is 15mm. This is a relatively high drop, providing significant cushioning at the heel.
How do I clean my Cloudnova X trainers?
We recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?
While they offer good cushioning, the primary design focus is on versatility and gym training. For dedicated long-distance running, you might consider models specifically engineered for that purpose. However, they can handle shorter runs comfortably.
What material is the upper made from?
The upper is made from 100% polyester, designed for breathability and comfort.
How does the Speedboard contribute to performance?
The X-shaped Speedboard is integrated into the midsole to enhance forefoot flexibility and provide lateral support, crucial for agile movements and stability during training.
What is the weight of the Cloudnova X trainers?
The weight is approximately 315.7g per shoe (for a men's size 8.5 UK).
Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort on first wear.
This can be common with shoes featuring specific support systems like the Speedboard and a 15mm drop. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase duration to allow your feet to adapt.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces.
While the outsole is redesigned for improved grip, all rubber outsoles can be less effective on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Upper feels stiff.
The polyester upper is designed for structure and breathability. It should become more flexible with wear. Ensure the laces are not over-tightened initially.
