The On Running Cloudsurfer is engineered to elevate your daily running experience. The innovative CloudTec Phase system provides exceptional cushioning that adapts to your stride, making each landing softer and more comfortable. This technology is computer-optimized to ensure a seamless transition from heel strike to toe-off, promoting a fluid and natural running motion.
Beneath your foot, the Speedboard acts as a spring, capturing the energy generated during your foot's contact with the ground and converting it into a forward propulsion. This results in a more energetic and responsive take-off, helping you maintain momentum and efficiency throughout your run.
For example, during a 5k park run, you'll notice the plush cushioning absorbing impact effectively, reducing fatigue over distance. On a longer, steady-paced training run, the smooth transitions will help maintain your rhythm, while the Speedboard provides that subtle boost to keep you moving forward with less effort. The improved mesh upper ensures your feet remain comfortable and well-ventilated, preventing overheating even on warmer days.
This shoe is ideal for:
Daily training runs: Providing comfort and support for your regular mileage.
Recovery runs: The soft cushioning helps reduce stress on your joints.
Tempo runs: The energy return aids in maintaining a quicker pace.
It's important to remember that while highly versatile for everyday use, the Cloudsurfer's design is optimized for road and light track surfaces, focusing on cushioning and smooth transitions.
Setting up your Cloudsurfers is straightforward:
Lacing: Unlace the shoes sufficiently to easily slide your foot in.
Insert Foot: Gently insert your foot, ensuring your heel is seated comfortably against the back of the shoe.
Adjust Lacing: Begin lacing from the bottom, pulling each section snugly but not too tightly. Ensure even tension across the laces. You should be able to wiggle your toes, and your heel should feel secure without slipping.
Double Knot: Secure with a double knot to prevent untying during your run.
These shoes are designed for:
Gender: Female runners.
Age Group: Adults.
Running Type: Everyday road running, training, and general fitness activities.
Foot Type: Info needed: While generally accommodating, specific arch support or pronation control details are not provided. They are typically considered neutral running shoes.
Proper care extends the life and performance of your Cloudsurfers:
Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) after each run. For tougher grime, use a mild soap and cold water mixture with a soft cloth to spot clean the upper and midsole. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbers.
Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your shoes, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers), which can warp materials.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider stuffing them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape if they get wet.
