FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the cushioning provided by the Helion superfoam is designed to support the feet during high-mileage runs, making them a great option for road marathons.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, it is highly recommended to hand wash them with a damp cloth. The heat and friction of a washing machine can damage the sensitive materials and the responsiveness of the foam.
How does the 8mm drop affect my running style?
The 8mm drop is a standard, versatile height that helps promote a smooth transition through your stride, catering to both heel strikers and midfoot strikers.
Are these trainers waterproof?
They are water-repellent, meaning they handle light rain and road spray well. They are not fully waterproof and should not be submerged in water.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and weight, to ensure the cushioning properties remain effective.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch area.
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly across the midfoot. Adjust the tension to allow for natural foot expansion during your run.
The shoe feels slippery on wet surfaces.
While the shoe handles light rain well, it is built for road performance. Ensure the tread is clean of debris, but be cautious on extremely slick surfaces like wet metal covers or smooth tile.
Upper material losing its water repellency.
Over time, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may wear off. You can use a standard spray-on DWR treatment suitable for synthetic mesh to refresh the protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your On Cloudswift 4 AD trainers, proper care is essential.
- Fit Check: Ensure the size fits comfortably with about a thumb's width of space at the front to prevent toe rubbing.
- Cleaning: Wipe the upper with a damp cloth after runs in dusty or muddy conditions. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the water-repellent coating and structural integrity of the upper.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not place the shoes near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as extreme heat can warp the foam and damage the adhesive layers.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color and the elasticity of the materials.
