FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for competitive racing?
While providing excellent comfort and flexibility for training and active play, the Cloudswift Youth's design, which omits the Speedboard, prioritizes natural movement over the rigid propulsion sometimes desired for competitive racing.
How do I clean the white upper of these shoes?
For the white polyester mesh upper, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Gently wipe the affected areas. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as this can damage the material and adhesives.
What does 'CloudTec cushioning' mean?
CloudTec is On's patented cushioning technology featuring hollow pod elements (Clouds) in the sole. These 'Clouds' compress individually upon impact, providing a soft landing, and then lock firm to form a solid foundation for a powerful push-off.
What is the '6mm heel-to-toe drop'?
The heel-to-toe drop refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe. A 6mm drop is considered moderate, promoting a more natural foot strike than shoes with a higher drop, while still offering some heel cushioning.
Can these shoes be worn for everyday school activities?
Yes, these shoes are ideal for everyday wear, school, and active play. Their comfortable cushioning, breathable upper, and secure fit make them suitable for a wide range of daily activities.
What is the material composition of these shoes?
The upper and lining are made of polyester, offering breathability and durability. The inner sole is also polyester, and the outer sole features rubber inserts for traction and wear resistance.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the classic laces. Loosen or tighten incrementally until a comfortable, secure fit is achieved. Ensure the tongue is centered.
Foot feels sweaty or hot during activity
The mesh upper is designed for breathability. Ensure the child is wearing appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking athletic socks). If the issue persists, allow for airing out between uses.
Reduced cushioning sensation over time
While durable, cushioning can compress. Ensure regular cleaning to prevent dirt buildup in the CloudTec elements. Replace shoes when cushioning significantly degrades, typically after several hundred miles or a year of active use.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While rubber inserts provide traction, no shoe is entirely slip-proof. Exercise caution on wet or slick surfaces. Ensure the rubber inserts are clean and free of embedded debris.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional Comfort: CloudTec cushioning ensures soft landings and a smooth ride for prolonged activity.
- Highly Breathable: The soft-engineered mesh upper keeps feet cool and dry.
- Lightweight and Flexible: Absence of a Speedboard makes the shoes super light and highly adaptable to foot movement.
- Easy On/Off: Bootie construction with pull tabs simplifies wearing and removal.
- Secure Fit: Classic laces allow for precise adjustment to secure the foot.
- Durable Design: Built with quality materials and rubber inserts for lasting wear.
Cons
- No Speedboard: While beneficial for flexibility, it may lack the propulsive feel some older youth athletes might prefer for competitive racing.
- Targeted Use: Primarily designed for road running, city runs, and active play; less ideal for demanding trail conditions.
- All White Colorway: Prone to showing dirt and scuffs more easily, requiring more frequent cleaning.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unboxing: Remove shoes from packaging. Ensure all protective materials are removed.
- Lacing: The shoes feature classic laces. Thread laces through eyelets and tie them securely. Adjust tightness to ensure a snug, comfortable fit without being too restrictive.
- First Wear: Have the child wear the shoes around indoors for a short period to break them in and ensure comfort before extended use.
Compatibility
- Age Group: Specifically designed for kids and youth (often referred to as 'big kids').
- Activities: Ideal for road running, city runs, training sessions, active play, and everyday wear.
- Surfaces: Best suited for paved surfaces, tracks, and indoor environments.
Care
- Cleaning the Upper: For the polyester mesh upper, gently wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary). Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes which could damage the material.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush (e.g., an old toothbrush) to remove dirt and debris from the CloudTec elements and rubber outsole inserts.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
