FAQs

Are the On Running Cloud X 4 suitable for running long distances?

The Cloud X 4 is optimized for versatile training and multi-directional movements. While they offer good cushioning for short, dynamic runs, they are not specifically designed for long-distance running comfort or performance. For longer distances, On Running offers specialized running shoe models.

How do I clean the mesh upper?

Use a soft brush or damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently clean the mesh. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or soaking the shoe. Always air dry.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The Cloud X 4 has a heel-to-toe drop of 7mm, which is a moderate drop suitable for training and promoting a balanced stride.

Can I wear these shoes for everyday casual use?

Yes, the Cloud X 4 offers comfort and support, making them suitable for casual wear. Their sporty design and breathable materials ensure comfort throughout the day.

What does the X-shaped Speedboard® do?

The X-shaped Speedboard® is engineered to enhance forefoot flexibility, allowing for more natural foot movement during dynamic exercises like squats and jumps. It also contributes to the shoe's responsive feel.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Cloud X 4 features a breathable mesh upper, which is not waterproof. They are designed for ventilation during workouts and may not provide protection against heavy rain or water submersion.

What is the weight of the Cloud X 4?

The On Running Cloud X 4 weighs approximately 226g (per shoe), making them a lightweight option for training.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or narrow

Loosen the star lacing system. If the issue persists, consider if this model is suitable for your foot width. Some colorways may have slightly different material properties.

Slipping in the heel

Ensure the laces are pulled snug through the eyelets, especially the top ones, to engage the heel hold feature. Check that the heel counter is properly aligned with your heel.

Reduced traction on gym floor

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free of debris or dust. Persistent issues might indicate wear on the outsole tread, suggesting replacement.

Discomfort during lateral movements

Verify the midfoot cage is securely wrapping your foot and the star lacing system is providing adequate lockdown. Ensure you are using the correct shoe for the specific movement type.
