FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
The Cloudswift 4 AD is designed for urban running and everyday use. While comfortable for shorter to mid-distance runs (5-10k), they may not offer the specific support or cushioning required for marathon training compared to specialized long-distance running shoes.
How do I clean the water-repellent mesh upper?
Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from heat sources.
What is the main difference between the Cloudswift 4 AD and other Cloudswift models?
The 'AD' in Cloudswift 4 AD signifies its 'All-Day' capability, often featuring enhanced water-repellency and a design optimized for versatile urban wear, combining elements for both walking and running comfort.
Can I wear these shoes in heavy rain?
The water-repellent finish provides protection against light rain and splashes. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, it's recommended to use additional waterproofing treatments or opt for fully waterproof footwear.
What weight are the On Cloudswift 4 AD trainers?
The On Cloudswift 4 AD trainers weigh approximately 307g.
Is the sizing true to size?
On footwear generally runs true to size. However, individual fit can vary. It's recommended to consult a size chart and consider trying them on if possible, or refer to customer reviews for sizing feedback.
What kind of terrain are these best suited for?
These trainers are optimized for urban environments, including pavements, asphalt roads, and light gravel paths. They are not designed for technical trails or extreme off-road conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. The sock-like construction may feel snug initially; wear them for short periods to allow them to adapt to your foot shape. If discomfort persists, consider if this model is the right fit for your foot type.
Reduced water-repellency after several uses
The water-repellent treatment can fade over time. Reapply a suitable fabric-safe waterproofing spray to the upper following product instructions. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry before application.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
Check the rubber outsole for excessive wear or debris. Clean the outsole with water and a soft brush. If significant wear is present, it may be time to consider a replacement pair as the tread wears down.
Breathability seems limited on very hot days
While the engineered mesh offers good breathability, on extremely hot days, no shoe will feel completely cool. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. For intense heat, consider footwear specifically designed for maximum ventilation.
