The On Cloud X 4 is built to excel in high-intensity training environments, offering a dynamic and responsive experience. The combination of CloudTec® cushioning and Helion™ superfoam means you'll feel a balance of softness upon landing and an explosive push-off, making burpees, box jumps, and sprints feel more efficient.
For gym workouts, the X-shaped Speedboard® provides crucial stability during lateral movements and weightlifting, while the midfoot cage ensures your foot stays securely in place. The breathable mesh upper is particularly beneficial during intense cardio sessions, preventing overheating and discomfort.
When used for running, these trainers shine on shorter, faster runs and mixed-terrain workouts, thanks to their strategic grip patterns that provide reliable traction on both pavement and light trails. They offer a "snug yet comfortable fit" that adapts to your foot, promoting agility and natural movement. Beyond performance, their "sleek and modern look" makes them a stylish choice for casual wear and daily errands, seamlessly blending athletic function with everyday fashion.
Initial Setup & Fit:
Lacing: Unlace the trainers fully before putting them on. Insert your foot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back of the shoe.
Adjusting Laces: Start lacing from the toes upwards. Pull each criss-cross tight enough to feel secure but not so tight as to cause pressure points. Ensure even tension across your foot.
Heel Lock: Use the extra eyelets near the ankle (if available) to create a 'heel lock' lacing technique if you experience heel slippage.
First Wear: Wear your new Cloud X 4 trainers around the house for a short period to get accustomed to their fit and feel before your first full workout.
Compatibility:
These trainers are primarily designed for high-intensity training, gym workouts, and short to medium-distance running on various surfaces.
They are compatible with most standard athletic socks.
Care & Maintenance:
Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush). For tougher stains, mix a small amount of mild soap with cool water. Use a soft cloth or sponge to gently wipe down the mesh upper and rubber sole. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct sunlight or use artificial heat sources (like a dryer or radiator), as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prolong their lifespan.
Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing is generally not recommended as it can compromise the shoe's structure, cushioning, and bonding.
