The On Running Cloudswift 3 is built to excel on city streets, pavements, and park paths. Its combination of CloudTec® cushioning and Helion™ superfoam means that every step is met with soft landings that quickly transition into firm, responsive take-offs. This makes it ideal for daily training runs, tempo runs, and even longer distances within urban environments.
When running on concrete, the dual-density midsole absorbs the impact efficiently, protecting your joints and reducing fatigue over time. The Speedboard® acts like a spring, propelling you forward, which can be particularly noticeable during speed work or when you want to pick up the pace.
The re-engineered mesh upper ensures your feet remain comfortable and well-ventilated, even on warmer days or during intense efforts. Its snug, secure fit, combined with the lightweight design, makes the shoe feel like an extension of your foot, allowing for an unencumbered running experience. Whether you're navigating busy sidewalks or cruising along riverside paths, the Cloudswift 3 provides a balanced blend of comfort, protection, and responsiveness.
Getting started with your Cloudswift 3 is straightforward:
Lacing: Ensure the laces are snug but not too tight. Use the lacing system to customize the fit around your midfoot. A proper fit prevents slippage and hot spots.
Sock Choice: Pair your shoes with moisture-wicking running socks to enhance breathability and prevent blisters.
Break-In: While Cloudswift shoes often feel comfortable from the first wear, it's advisable to do a few shorter runs before tackling long distances to allow the shoes to fully conform to your feet.
Running Surfaces: Best suited for urban environments, including roads, pavements, and light paths. Less ideal for technical trails or off-road conditions.
Runner Type: Designed for adult males, particularly those who prefer a lightweight, responsive shoe for daily training and city running.
Activity: Excellent for daily runs, tempo runs, urban exploring, and general fitness walking.
Proper care extends the life and maintains the performance of your Cloudswift 3 shoes:
Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn stains, hand wash with mild soap (like dish soap) and cold water. Gently scrub the mesh and sole. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do NOT put them in a dryer, near direct heat, or in direct sunlight, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can degrade the materials, cushioning, and adhesives, significantly shortening the shoe's lifespan and compromising its performance.
