FAQs

What type of workouts are the Cloud X 4 best for?

The Cloud X 4 is designed for a wide range of activities, including HIIT, circuit training, gym workouts, and short to medium-distance runs. Its stability features make it ideal for multi-lateral movements.

Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?

While they offer good cushioning for shorter runs, they are optimized for versatility across different training types rather than pure marathon performance. For dedicated long-distance running, specialized road running shoes might offer more specific benefits.

How do I clean my Cloud X 4 trainers?

We recommend cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat sources. Avoid machine washing.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The heel-to-toe drop is 7mm, offering a balanced feel suitable for various athletic movements.

What makes the Speedboard® 'X-shaped'?

The X-shaped Speedboard® is engineered with a specific geometry to enhance forefoot flexibility, which is particularly beneficial for dynamic, multi-directional movements common in cross-training.

Is the mesh upper made from recycled materials?

Yes, the breathable mesh upper is made with recycled polyester, contributing to a more sustainable product.

How does the star lacing system improve performance?

The star lacing system, combined with the midfoot cage, provides a secure wrap around the foot, enhancing stability and lockdown, which is crucial for lateral movements and preventing slippage.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or loose

Adjust the star lacing system. Experiment with different lacing patterns or tension levels to find your ideal fit. Ensure you have the correct size; consult the sizing chart if unsure.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness

Check the midsole for any debris or blockages. While the Helion™ foam is durable, ensure the shoe is clean. Over time, cushioning may naturally reduce with extensive use.

Discomfort during lateral movements

Verify the midfoot cage is properly engaged and the lacing provides adequate lockdown. Ensure the shoe is the correct width for your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tightness using the star lacing system for a secure and comfortable fit. The regular fit is designed to be true to size.

Compatibility: The Cloud X 4 is best suited for cross-training, HIIT, gym workouts, and shorter runs. It is compatible with various athletic apparel. While suitable for mixed terrain, its optimal performance is found on gym floors, tracks, and moderate road surfaces.

Care: To clean the Cloud X 4, use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris from the upper and outsole. For the interior, allow shoes to air dry naturally. Avoid machine washing or direct heat, as this can damage the materials and structure. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
