Setup:
Unboxing: Remove your On Cloudswift 4 shoes from their packaging.
First Fit: Wear your preferred running socks and try on the shoes. Ensure a snug, secure fit through the midfoot, with enough room in the toe box for natural splay. The bootie fit should feel comfortable and supportive.
Lacing: Adjust the laces to achieve optimal lockdown without creating pressure points.
Compatibility:
Running Surface: Optimized for road and urban surfaces. The CloudTec® pods are designed to perform best on hard, flat ground.
Runner Type: Suitable for neutral runners seeking a cushioned and responsive daily trainer.
Distance: Ideal for daily runs, medium distances, and tempo efforts on city streets.
Care:
Cleaning: After runs, especially in dirty conditions, gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing as it can damage materials and adhesives.
Drying: Air dry your shoes naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can cause materials to shrink or warp.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain material integrity.
Maintenance: Regularly check the outsole for embedded debris (small stones) and remove them to prevent damage to the CloudTec® pods.
