On Running Cloudtilt - Eclipse/Lilac - UK 8.5

The On Running Cloudtilt is engineered primarily as a lightweight walking sneaker and for all-day casual wear, focusing on ultra-cushioned comfort and smooth transitions for walking. While you can certainly move briskly in them, they are not specifically designed for high-performance running training.

To clean the mesh upper, gently brush off any dry dirt. For tougher spots, use a soft cloth or sponge with a small amount of mild soap (like hand soap) and lukewarm water. Dab and wipe gently, then air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid machine washing.

CloudTec Phase is On Running's innovative cushioning technology that adapts to your footstrike for incredibly smooth transitions and a unique rolling sensation. Helion superfoam is a lightweight, responsive foam integrated into the sole to provide superior cushioning and energy return, enhancing comfort with every step.

The Cloudtilt is designed with an integrated speed-lace system that works in conjunction with its sock-style construction for optimal fit and ease of use. While you might physically be able to thread traditional laces through, it is not recommended as it may alter the intended fit and support characteristics of the shoe.

The Cloudtilt features a 'broader platform' designed for steady all-day wear, which can offer a more stable base. However, the sock-style construction provides a snug fit. We recommend trying them on to assess comfort, or consulting the On Running size guide for specific fit recommendations, especially if you have wider feet.

The dope-dyeing process used for the mesh upper significantly reduces environmental impact by using 90% less water compared to conventional dyeing methods. This approach contributes to a more sustainable production of the shoe's materials.

Ensure your socks are not too thick or thin for the shoe's fit. The sock-style construction is designed for a snug fit. If persistent, consider re-evaluating your size using the On Running size guide.

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Check if debris is caught in the sole pattern. If it persists, it might be due to friction between parts of the sole or insole; try removing and reinserting the insole.

While the mesh upper is breathable, prolonged wear or specific climates can lead to warmth. Ensure you're wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. Allow shoes to air out between wears.

Cushioning materials like Helion superfoam have a lifespan. While durable, over time and with heavy use, they compress. Ensure you're using the shoes as intended (walking/casual) and consider their age. Regular rotation with other footwear can also extend their life.
