The On Cloudswift 4 excels in urban running environments, designed to transform city streets into your playground. The dual-density Helion superfoam midsole is the heart of its cushioning, absorbing impact effectively during landings while returning significant energy for a 'go-forward' feel. This means less fatigue over longer distances and a more dynamic stride.
Paired with the Helion foam, the nylon-blend Speedboard acts as a propulsion plate, guiding your foot through a smooth transition and adding a responsive snap to each step. You'll notice a distinct push-off sensation, making your runs feel more efficient and less effortful. The CloudTec pods work synergistically, compressing upon impact and then springing back, providing adaptive cushioning tailored to your footstrike.
For practical city use, the flatknit engineered mesh upper ensures your feet remain cool and dry, even on warm days or during intense efforts. The updated cage construction around the midfoot provides crucial support and lockdown, preventing unwanted foot movement and enhancing stability as you navigate turns or uneven pavement. The rockered geometry promotes a fluid, rolling motion, aiding in a natural stride and reducing effort.
Example Application: Imagine a 10km run through downtown. The Cloudswift 4's lightweight and breathable upper keeps your feet comfortable, while the Helion foam and Speedboard provide the cushioning and responsiveness needed to tackle concrete and asphalt with ease, making the miles feel lighter and more enjoyable. The secure fit ensures confidence with every turn and stride.
The On Cloudswift 4 requires no complex setup. Simply unbox, put them on, and lace them up to your preferred snugness. The bootie fit and cage construction are designed to conform to your foot for immediate comfort and support.

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Cloudswift 4 shoes:
Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or hot water, as these can damage materials. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can warp materials or cause adhesives to weaken.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing.
Odour Control: If odours develop, remove insoles and allow both shoes and insoles to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers.
Avoid Submerging: While the upper is breathable, these shoes are not designed to be waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submerging them in water.
