The On Running Cloudsurfer excels in providing a uniquely cushioned yet responsive ride for your daily runs. The CloudTec Phase system activates sequentially as you land, offering a remarkably soft impact, then smoothly transitions to the Speedboard, which acts as a springboard to efficiently return energy. This combination creates a flowing, almost 'surfing' sensation as you move from heel strike to toe-off. The improved mesh upper ensures your feet stay comfortable and well-ventilated, even on warmer days, making these trainers a reliable choice for consistent, comfortable mileage. They are particularly well-suited for road running, daily training, and recovery runs where comfort and smooth transitions are prioritized. For example, during a 5k or 10k training run, you'll experience consistent cushioning and a propulsive feel that reduces fatigue.
Getting started with your Cloudsurfer trainers is straightforward. Simply use the lacing system to secure a snug, comfortable fit. Ensure the laces are firm enough to hold your foot in place without creating pressure points. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you have specific fit preferences.
These trainers are designed primarily for everyday road running on paved surfaces. They are suitable for neutral runners who do not require extensive motion control. While versatile, their design is optimized for consistent, comfortable mileage rather than highly technical trails or extreme speed work.
Proper care will extend the life of your Cloudsurfer trainers:
Cleaning: Gently clean the mesh upper with a soft brush or a damp cloth using mild soap and cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight. Do not put them in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. If they get wet, remove the insoles and stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture before air drying.
Usage: Rotate your running shoes if you run frequently to allow the cushioning to decompress and recover between uses. Monitor wear and tear, especially on the outsole and midsole, to know when it's time for a replacement.
