FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
While the Cloudswift 4 AD offers good cushioning for urban runs, they are primarily designed for shorter to medium distances and daily training. For marathon distances, you might consider a model with more specialized long-distance cushioning and support.
Can I wear these for gym workouts or cross-training?
Yes, the stable platform and responsive cushioning make them suitable for some gym activities. However, for heavy weightlifting or sports requiring significant lateral support, a dedicated training shoe might be more appropriate.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the On Running size guide and measure your foot length. It is also recommended to try them on in-store if possible, as fit can vary between individuals.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Typically, On Running products come with a standard manufacturer's warranty. Please refer to the documentation included with your purchase or the official On Running website for specific warranty terms and duration.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Cloudswift 4 AD trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable materials for comfort during runs. For wet conditions, consider waterproof running shoes or an alternative.
How often should I replace my Cloudswift 4 AD trainers?
Running shoes typically need replacement every 300-500 miles (500-800 km) or when the cushioning feels significantly diminished and the outsole shows considerable wear. This can vary based on running intensity and surface.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a snug but not constrictive fit. If discomfort persists, the shoe may not be the correct size or width for your foot. Consider trying a half-size larger or a different model.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. While the outsole is designed for grip, extreme wet conditions can still reduce traction. Use caution and maintain a moderate pace on very slick surfaces.
Pull tab feels flimsy or difficult to use
Gently pull the tab upwards and outwards while inserting your foot. If the tab seems damaged, inspect it for tears. Proper usage involves pulling it firmly but without excessive force.
Midsole feels too firm or not cushioned enough
The Helion™ Superfoam is designed to offer a responsive feel. It may require a short break-in period of a few runs. If it still feels too firm for your preference, consider a model with more plush cushioning.
