Extended Product Information

The On Cloudsurfer Next is built for runners who prioritize cushioning and an energetic feel during their daily training and longer distances on paved surfaces. The CloudTec Phase® cushioning system works by collapsing and reforming in sequence, providing a sensation akin to running on clouds, but with firm support when needed. This innovative design ensures a smooth and soft landing, followed by a dynamic transition. The pronounced forefoot rocker plays a crucial role in your running mechanics. As you move from mid-stance to toe-off, this curved sole geometry helps roll your foot forward, facilitating a more powerful and efficient push-off. This translates to less effort per stride and improved running economy. These shoes are best utilized for: - Daily training runs: Providing comfort and responsiveness for your regular mileage. - Longer distance efforts: The cushioning helps maintain comfort and reduce impact over extended periods. - Recovery runs: The soft ride can be beneficial on days when your legs need a gentler impact. While highly effective on roads and track surfaces, their design is not optimized for aggressive trail running where multi-directional grip and rock protection are paramount. Always choose appropriate footwear for the terrain.

Setup: Using Your Cloudsurfer Next Shoes 1. Lacing: Ensure your shoes are laced securely but not overly tight. Use a runner's knot if you experience heel slippage. 2. Socks: Wear appropriate running socks to prevent blisters and improve comfort. 3. First Run: Start with a shorter, easy run to allow your feet to adapt to the new cushioning and rocker geometry. ## Compatibility: 1. Running Surfaces: Best suited for roads, pavements, and tracks. Less ideal for uneven trails or muddy conditions due to sole design. 2. Footwear Accessories: Compatible with most running orthotics or insoles, though the built-in cushioning is substantial. ## Care and Maintenance: 1. Cleaning: Gently wipe shoes clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage materials and adhesives. 2. Drying: Air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can degrade materials. Do not tumble dry. 3. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. 4. Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of running shoes to extend their lifespan.
