The On Cloud X 4 is engineered to deliver exceptional performance across a spectrum of athletic activities. The integrated CloudTec® cushioning system dynamically adapts to your stride, providing a responsive feel during fast-paced intervals and a soft, protective landing during longer runs. This makes it an excellent choice for interval training, road running, and even short to medium distance runs where comfort and responsiveness are key.
For gym-goers and cross-trainers, the chunky rubber outsole offers reliable grip during lateral movements, burpees, planks, and weightlifting, preventing slips and ensuring stability. The shoe's lightweight design, combined with its flexible upper and the secure fit provided by the printed tongue, promotes agility and natural foot movement. This makes it highly suitable for high-intensity interval training (HIIT), dynamic exercise routines, and studio classes. Its inherent versatility means you can seamlessly transition from a morning run to an afternoon gym session without needing to change footwear, making it a truly multi-functional companion for your fitness journey.
First Wear & Lacing: Upon first wearing, ensure the laces are snug but not overly tight. Experiment with different lacing patterns if you experience specific pressure points. The printed tongue is designed for comfort, so adjust to your preference.
Break-in Period: While often comfortable out of the box, allow for a few short sessions (e.g., shorter runs or workouts) for the shoes to fully conform to your individual foot shape and gait. This ensures optimal comfort and performance.
Activities: The Cloud X 4 is ideal for road running, track workouts, gym training, HIIT, cross-training, and general active wear.
Foot Type: Best suited for individuals with a neutral pronation. Those who overpronate or supinate significantly may consider custom orthotics or specific stability shoes.
Socks: Pair with high-quality performance running or athletic socks to optimize breathability, wick away moisture, and prevent blisters.
Cleaning: To maintain appearance and extend lifespan, remove insoles and hand wash your Cloud X 4 shoes. Use a mild soap (like dish soap) and cold water. Gently scrub any soiled areas with a soft brush or cloth.
Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, sunlight, tumble dryers). Machine washing or drying can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technology.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures when not in use. This helps preserve material integrity and shape.
