FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While from 'On Running', the Cloudswift 4 AD trainers are specifically engineered for all-day comfort and urban walking. For high-intensity running, On offers other models better suited for that purpose.

How should I clean my On Running Cloudswift 4 AD trainers?

We recommend gently wiping the trainers with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid machine washing, harsh detergents, or abrasive brushes, as these can damage the materials and technology.

What does 'dual-density CloudTec midsole' mean?

It means the midsole features two different densities of cushioning elements ('clouds'). This design allows for a softer landing and firmer push-off, adapting to your movement for optimal comfort and performance during walking.

What is Helion superfoam?

Helion superfoam is an advanced type of cushioning foam developed by On. It's designed to be lightweight, durable, and highly responsive, providing excellent energy return and impact protection across varying temperatures.

Is the 'true to size fit' accurate for everyone?

Generally, yes. The Cloudswift 4 AD trainers are designed to fit true to your regular shoe size. If you typically fall between sizes, you might consider trying the larger size, but most users find their standard size works well.

What does the 35% recycled content refer to?

This refers to the total percentage of recycled materials used in the construction of the trainer. It highlights On's commitment to sustainability by reducing the environmental impact of their products.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

The trainers are not specifically designed to be waterproof. While they can handle light splashes, prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to wet feet. For wet conditions, consider footwear with waterproof features.

Troubleshooting

The trainers feel too snug or restrictive.

Ensure you've selected your standard shoe size, as they are `true to size`. The `sock-like fit` might feel snug initially; wear them for a few days to allow the material to adapt to your foot. You can also try adjusting the lacing to be slightly looser.

Cushioning feels less responsive over time.

The lifespan of cushioning can vary based on usage. If you use them daily for long walks, the foam might compress over time. Ensure proper care, avoid machine washing, and consider if it's time for a new pair if they've seen extensive use.

My feet feel warm or less breathable during wear.

While the polyester material offers durability, it may feel less breathable than pure mesh in very warm conditions. Try wearing moisture-wicking socks to help manage foot temperature and moisture. Avoid wearing excessively thick socks.

Pros and Cons

  • Exceptional all-day comfort for city environments.
  • Responsive cushioning ideal for prolonged walking.

  • Significant recycled content for environmental consciousness.
  • Accurate `true to size fit` simplifies sizing decisions.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for city walks, less suitable for high-intensity running.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Setting up your On Running Cloudswift 4 AD Trainers is straightforward:

  1. Unboxing: Remove the trainers from their packaging.
  2. First Fit: Slip your feet into the trainers. Due to the `true to size fit` and `sock-like fit` design, they should feel snug and secure immediately.
  3. Lacing: Adjust the laces to your preferred comfort level. Avoid over-tightening to maintain the natural flexibility of the upper.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for:

  • Activity: Urban walking, casual wear, daily commutes, prolonged standing.
  • Surface: Paved roads, sidewalks, indoor surfaces.
  • Attire: They pair well with athleisure wear, casual clothing, and smart-casual outfits.

Care

Proper care extends the life and maintains the appearance of your trainers:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the polyester upper and sole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Drying: Allow the trainers 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 them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  • Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing is not recommended as it can compromise the integrity of the materials and cushioning.
