FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
Yes, they provide cushioned support for light running and active play. While they lack the Speedboard found in some adult running shoes, their flexibility and CloudTec® cushioning are well-suited for a child's active lifestyle.
How do I choose the correct size for my child?
It's best to measure your child's foot and refer to a brand-specific size guide if available. Allow a little room for growth, but avoid shoes that are too large as this can cause tripping or discomfort. This specific pair is a `5.5 UK` kids' size.
Can these shoes be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and adhesives. Please refer to the 'Care' section for recommended cleaning instructions using a damp cloth and mild soap.
What activities are these trainers best for?
These Cloudswift Youth trainers are ideal for daily wear, school, playground activities, and casual outings where comfort and style are key. Their design supports a child's active life without being specialized for high-performance sports.
Why don't these have a Speedboard like some adult On shoes?
The youth version of the Cloudswift is designed without a Speedboard to enhance flexibility and reduce weight, making them super flexible and light, which is often preferred for growing feet and everyday comfort over a rigid performance plate.
Are the laces functional or just for show?
The laces are fully functional. While the bootie construction allows for easy slip-on, the classic laces can be tied to provide an even more secure and locked-in fit, which is beneficial for active kids.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the classic laces. For a tighter fit, pull laces firmly before tying. For a looser fit, ensure laces are not overtightened. Check sizing against a foot measurement if discomfort persists.
Foot feels hot or sweaty.
The engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability. Ensure appropriate socks are worn (e.g., moisture-wicking materials). If possible, allow shoes to air out between wears.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur if moisture gets trapped between parts of the sole or if the insole shifts. Try removing and reinserting the insole, ensuring it lies flat. If the sound persists, ensure shoes are completely dry.

Setup: These trainers feature a convenient slip-on bootie construction. To put them on, gently pull the shoe open using the pull tabs at the heel and tongue, then slide the foot in. For a more secure fit, especially during active play, tie the classic laces firmly. Compatibility: Designed for 'big kids,' these trainers are suitable for various foot shapes, with the lacing system allowing for adjustable snugness. The size `5.5 UK` indicates they are for children's feet in that specific UK sizing. Care: 1. Cleaning: For general cleaning, wipe the mesh upper and midsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. 2. 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. 3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain material integrity. 4. Avoid Submerging: While durable, avoid fully submerging the shoes in water to protect the cushioning technology and adhesives.
