For Running: The combination of the CloudTec® sole and Helion superfoam provides a uniquely cushioned yet responsive ride.

The plush materials in the heel and tongue, along with the overall sock-like fit, make these trainers suitable for extended periods of wear, whether you're running errands or on your feet for hours. Their versatile grey color and sleek design also make them a stylish complement to casual outfits.
In essence, the Cloud X 4 is built to support a wide range of movements and provide sustained comfort, adapting effortlessly from a high-intensity session to daily activities.
Lacing: The star lacing system is designed for a secure fit. Adjust the laces to ensure your foot feels snug but not constricted, particularly around the midfoot cage for optimal lateral support.
First Wear: Wear your new trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape.
Activities: These trainers are highly compatible with road running, gym workouts (including HIIT, strength training, and studio classes), and general casual wear.
Surfaces: The rubber outsole provides traction suitable for paved roads, indoor gym floors, and light urban trails.
Proper care extends the life and performance of your On Cloud X 4 trainers:
Cleaning: Gently wipe the mesh upper and sole with a soft, damp cloth using mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive brushes that could damage the material.
Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air them out. If needed, use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda to help absorb moisture and odors.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing is not recommended as it can compromise the integrity of the shoe's construction and materials.
