FAQs
What age group are these shoes designed for?
These Cloudswift Junior shoes are specifically adapted for 'big kids' and young athletes, providing features tailored for their comfort and development.
Are these shoes suitable for competitive racing?
While highly responsive and comfortable, these shoes prioritize flexibility and lightness for growing feet. They are ideal for training and active play but may not offer the same rigid propulsion as some adult competitive racing shoes due to the absence of a Speedboard.
How do I clean my On Running Cloudswift Junior shoes?
We recommend wiping them down with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a soft brush and mild soap. Air dry thoroughly at room temperature, away from direct heat.
What is CloudTec cushioning?
CloudTec is On Running's patented cushioning technology, featuring individual 'Clouds' that compress upon impact to provide soft landings and then firm up for a powerful take-off, creating a unique running sensation.
What is Helion superfoam?
Helion superfoam is a highly durable and temperature-resistant foam that provides lightweight cushioning with high energy return, ensuring comfort and responsiveness in various conditions.
Why do these shoes not have a 'Speedboard'?
The absence of a Speedboard in this junior model is a deliberate design choice to ensure greater flexibility and lightness. This promotes natural foot movement and comfort, which is beneficial for developing feet, rather than the stiffer, propulsive feel of an adult performance shoe.
Are these shoes easy for a child to put on by themselves?
Yes, thanks to their bootie construction and practical heel and tongue pull loops, these shoes are designed for easy on-and-off, promoting independence.
Can these shoes be worn for sports other than running?
Absolutely. While engineered for road running, their comfort, flexibility, and secure fit make them excellent for a wide range of active play, school activities, and general daily wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the classic laces to achieve a customized and secure fit. Ensure the foot is centered in the shoe before tightening.
Feet feel hot or sweaty during wear.
The shoes feature a breathable mesh upper designed for ventilation. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks to maximize breathability.
Reduced grip on wet or slippery urban surfaces.
While the shoes have a grippy rubber tread suitable for most urban environments, exercise caution on very wet or icy surfaces. The tread is optimized for road and city conditions.
