FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The On Running Cloudswift 4 AD features a water-repellent finish, which means it provides protection against light splashes and rain. It is not fully waterproof and not designed for submersion or heavy downpours.
What type of running are these shoes best for?
These shoes are best suited for daily training, tempo runs, and urban running environments. The `dual-density midsole` provides a balance of cushioning and propulsion, making them versatile for various distances.
How should I clean my Cloudswift 4 AD trainers?
Brush off loose dirt, then use a mild soap or shoe cleaner with cold water and a soft cloth/brush. Air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat.
What is the benefit of the 'improved cage construction'?
The improved cage construction is designed to provide better lockdown and support around your midfoot, enhancing stability and ensuring your foot stays secure during your runs.
What is `Helion superfoam`?
`Helion superfoam` is a cushioning technology used in the top layer of the midsole, designed to deliver exceptional energy return, soft landings, and durable performance across various temperatures.
Can I use these shoes for activities other than running?
While optimized for running, their comfortable `sock-like fit` and responsive cushioning make them suitable for light athletic activities, gym workouts, or comfortable everyday casual wear.
How long do running shoes typically last?
The lifespan of running shoes varies depending on usage, running style, and care, but generally, they are recommended to be replaced every 300-500 miles or every 6-12 months for optimal performance and cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels loose or not securely locked down
Ensure laces are tied snugly, utilizing all eyelets, and check if the improved cage construction feels snug around your midfoot. If the issue persists, consider trying different lacing techniques for a tighter fit.
Feet feel too warm or sweaty during runs
The engineered mesh upper is designed for airflow. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. If the problem continues, consider the ambient temperature during your runs.
Shoe feels less propulsive over time
The `Helion superfoam` and dual-density midsole are designed for durability, but all running shoe midsoles have a lifespan. Regularly inspect the sole for signs of significant compression or wear. Ensure proper care and storage to maximize shoe life.
Water-repellent finish seems less effective
The water-repellent finish can degrade over time with use and cleaning. Clean the shoes thoroughly and consider reapplying a footwear-specific water-repellent treatment spray to restore its effectiveness.
Uncomfortable pressure points or rubbing
Check sock thickness and material. Ensure the `sock-like fit` is not causing creasing. Break-in period might be needed. If discomfort persists, verify that the shoe size is appropriate for your foot, as running shoes often require a half-size up.

Care
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap or shoe cleaner diluted with cold water and a soft cloth or brush. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
- Water Repellency: While featuring a water-repellent finish, this is not fully waterproof. For prolonged performance in wet conditions, consider applying a shoe-specific water-repellent spray periodically.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve material integrity.
- Avoid Submersion: Do not fully submerge the shoes in water, especially hot water.
