Full details
The On Running Cloudswift Junior trainers are engineered for young, active individuals seeking exceptional comfort and support for city runs, everyday activities, and energetic play. These shoes excel in providing a soft landing and responsive takeoff thanks to their advanced cushioning, ensuring young runners can push off at pace with confidence. While optimized for junior feet without a Speedboard, which maximizes flexibility and lightness, this design choice means they differ slightly in rigidity from their adult counterparts, catering specifically to developing foot structures.

FAQs
What age group are the Cloudswift Junior shoes designed for?
These shoes are specifically engineered for juniors, catering to young, active individuals who need comfortable and supportive footwear for various activities.
Are these shoes suitable for all types of running?
The Cloudswift Junior is primarily designed for road running, city environments, and everyday active play. While they offer excellent cushioning and support, for specialized track or aggressive trail running, purpose-built shoes might be more appropriate.
How do the Cloudswift Junior shoes differ from the adult Cloudswift models?
The junior version maintains the look and feel but is adapted for kids. Key differences include the CloudTec® cushioning being specifically tuned for lighter weights and the absence of a Speedboard, which enhances flexibility and lightness crucial for developing feet, unlike the adult version which uses the Speedboard for propulsion.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
It's recommended to measure your child's foot length and compare it to On Running's size chart. Always allow a little extra room (about a thumb's width) at the toe for growth and comfort. Consider trying them on towards the end of the day when feet are slightly larger.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the shoe's materials and cushioning technology. Please refer to the 'Care' section for proper cleaning instructions using a damp cloth and mild soap.
Are these shoes durable enough for daily wear and active play?
Yes, the Cloudswift Junior is built with durable materials, including a robust engineered mesh upper and grippy rubber tread, designed to withstand the demands of daily wear, active play, and regular training sessions by young users.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the classic laces. For a looser fit, re-lace slightly less tightly. For a tighter, more secure feel, pull the laces firmly. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks (not too thick or thin) for a true fit.
Squeaking sound when walking/running
Check if the laces are tied correctly and not rubbing against each other or parts of the shoe. Sometimes, a new shoe's components may settle, and the sound might disappear with wear. Ensure no small debris is lodged in the outsole's CloudTec® elements.
Foot discomfort after wearing
Ensure the shoe size is correct for your child; feet grow quickly. Allow a short break-in period for the shoe to mold to the foot. If discomfort persists, check if socks are bunched up or if there are any signs of irritation from the shoe's interior. Consult a specialist if discomfort continues.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional Cushioning: CloudTec® and Helion™ superfoam deliver outstanding comfort and impact absorption for growing feet.
- Lightweight & Flexible: The absence of a Speedboard makes these shoes remarkably light and flexible, promoting natural foot movement.

Care
To maintain the performance and appearance of your Cloudswift Junior shoes, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to remove dirt and debris from the CloudTec® elements and rubber tread.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
