FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for competitive youth running?
Yes, the On Cloudswift Junior shoes are engineered for young runners, providing excellent comfort, support, and a responsive feel that makes them ideal for training sessions and active play. While they lack a Speedboard found in some adult competitive models (prioritizing flexibility instead), they offer elite performance for young athletes.
What is CloudTec cushioning?
CloudTec is On's signature cushioning technology, featuring individual 'clouds' or pods on the outsole. These clouds compress upon impact, providing a soft landing, then lock firm for a powerful and responsive takeoff, protecting the feet and propelling the runner forward.
What materials are the shoes made of?
The upper and lining are made from polyester, providing breathability and comfort. The inner sole is also polyester, and the outer sole is durable rubber for traction and wear resistance.
How do I ensure the best fit for my child?
The bootie construction and elastic bungee laces are designed for an easy, snug fit. For the best fit, ensure your child's heel is secure and there's about a thumb's width space between their longest toe and the end of the shoe. Using the classic laces allows for further tightening and adjustment to feel secure.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technologies. Instead, clean them by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
Are these shoes heavy?
No, the On Cloudswift Junior shoes are designed to be super flexible and light, especially without a Speedboard, making them ideal for young, agile feet during running and active play.
What kind of activities are these shoes best for?
These shoes are perfect for city runs, general training sessions, active play, and everyday wear for young athletes. Their blend of cushioning, support, and flexibility makes them versatile for various dynamic activities.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight on my child's foot.
First, ensure the correct size has been chosen. For the 'On Cloudswift Junior - White - Size: 5 UK', make sure the foot measures appropriately for a UK 5. Adjust the lacing: if using bungee laces, pull firmly for a snug fit. If using classic laces, re-tie them, ensuring even tension across the foot. The bootie construction is designed for a secure fit, so proper lacing will optimize this.
My child's feet are getting too hot or sweaty during activities.
The shoes feature a breathable mesh upper designed to promote airflow. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate athletic socks made from moisture-wicking materials (like synthetic blends) rather than thick cotton socks, which can trap heat and moisture. Allow shoes to air out completely after each use.
The cushioning doesn't feel as responsive as expected.
The CloudTec cushioning and Helion superfoam are designed for both soft landings and responsive takeoffs. Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris in the sole's channels, which can impact cushioning mechanics. Also, consider the activity; these are optimized for running and active play on varied surfaces, not necessarily for maximal energy return in highly specialized sports. The absence of a Speedboard contributes to flexibility rather than stiffness.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional Comfort: CloudTec and Helion superfoam provide superior cushioning for active feet.
- Responsive Feel: Designed for a quick takeoff, aiding in performance during runs and play.
- Breathable: Soft engineered mesh upper keeps feet cool and dry.
- Easy On/Off: Bootie construction and bungee laces simplify wearing.
- Lightweight & Flexible: Optimized for kids' agility, without the stiffness of a Speedboard.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your On Cloudswift Junior shoes is straightforward. The bootie construction allows for an easy slip-on experience. For a snug and secure fit, utilize the elastic bungee laces; simply pull them to tighten and secure. If you prefer a more traditional and adjustable fit, the shoes are also compatible with classic laces, allowing for precise tightening to feel locked in.
Compatibility
These shoes are designed for kids in the junior age group, specifically for young runners and big kids. They are unisex, making them suitable for all genders. The design is optimized for road running and general active play, offering performance benefits across various activities.
Care
To ensure your On Cloudswift Junior shoes last and perform their best:
- Cleaning: For the polyester upper and lining, gently wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can cause materials to shrink or warp.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain their shape and material integrity.
- Odour Control: If odours develop, remove insoles (if removable) and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
Following these simple care instructions will help maintain the shoes' performance, comfort, and appearance.
