The On Running Cloudflow 4 is engineered to be your go-to shoe for pushing pace and achieving personal bests. The synergy between the dual-density Helion™ super foam and CloudTec® elements ensures that every stride is met with effective shock absorption and a high level of cushioning, translating to comfort and reduced impact on your joints, whether you're on a track or paved roads.

To ensure the longevity and performance of your Cloudflow 4 trainers, proper care is essential:
Refer to Care Label: Always consult the specific care label inside your trainers for the most accurate instructions.
Cleaning: For general cleaning, gently wipe the upper and outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes that could damage the material.
Drying: Allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature after each use. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers) as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Odor Prevention: Remove insoles (if removable) after runs to allow both the shoe interior and insoles to air out completely. Consider using shoe deodorizers or stuffing them with newspaper to absorb moisture and odors.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp environments.
