Performance & Real-World Use\n\nThe On Running Cloudswift 3 AD excels in urban environments, making it an ideal choice for daily runs, city exploring, and faster-paced road sessions. The dual-density CloudTec® midsole, combined with Helion™ superfoam, provides a plush yet responsive ride. This means you get excellent shock absorption when your foot hits the pavement, protecting your joints and reducing fatigue over long distances.\n\nThe integrated Speedboard® is where the shoe truly shines in performance. It acts like a spring, storing the energy from your landing and then releasing it to propel you forward. This creates a sensation of effortless forward momentum, which can be particularly beneficial during tempo runs or when you want to maintain a consistent pace across varied city landscapes.\n\nThe re-engineered mesh upper contributes significantly to comfort, offering superb breathability to keep your feet cool, even on warm days or during intense efforts. Its sock-like fit, enhanced by 3D padding at the heel, ensures your foot feels secure and supported without unnecessary constriction, reducing the risk of rubbing or hot spots.\n\nFor example, if you're tackling a 10k through city parks and concrete sidewalks, the Cloudswift 3 AD will provide the necessary cushioning for the hard surfaces while its energy return helps you maintain your rhythm and push through to the finish. Its lightweight nature ensures that you won't feel weighed down as the miles accumulate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care\n\n### Setup\nThe Cloudswift 3 AD is designed for immediate use. Simply unbox, lace them up comfortably, and you're ready to run. Ensure laces are snug but not overly tight to prevent pressure points.\n\n### Compatibility\n- Running Type: Ideal for neutral runners.\n- Terrain: Optimized for urban environments, road running, and hard surfaces. While durable, it's not designed for aggressive trail use.\n- Distance: Suitable for a range of distances, from daily short runs to longer urban excursions, thanks to its responsive cushioning.\n- Wear: Primarily intended as a dedicated running shoe, but its comfort can make it a good option for all-day wear or casual use.\n\n### Care\nTo ensure the longevity and performance of your Cloudswift 3 AD shoes:\n1. Cleaning: Gently clean any dirt or mud using a soft brush or cloth and mild soap with cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage materials and adhesives.\n2. Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause materials to shrink or warp. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.\n3. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.\n4. Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the insoles and allow them to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers.\n5. Inspection: Regularly inspect the outsole for wear and tear, and the upper for any damage. Replace your shoes when the cushioning feels diminished or the outsole tread is significantly worn, typically after 300-500 miles, depending on your running style and weight.
