On Cloudleap - Black - UK 5

The On Running Cloudleap is designed for active play, casual running, and everyday adventures for juniors and kids. While they provide excellent cushioning and support for general activity, they are not specifically engineered for competitive long-distance running.

CloudTec Phase is On Running's innovative cushioning technology, where interconnected Cloud elements compress and expand in sequence, providing a sensationally smooth and bouncy ride with optimized energy return.

The Cloudleap features a semi-snug fit. It's recommended to measure your child's foot and consult a size chart. If unsure, trying them on is ideal to ensure comfort, especially considering the specific variant's size 5 is listed as adult, yet the description targets juniors.

The Cloudleap features a breathable mesh upper, which is great for keeping feet cool. However, it is not waterproof, so they are not ideal for heavy rain or wet conditions.

The Cloudleap comes with elastic laces for easy on/off and a secure fit. While they provide some stretch for comfort, they offer less traditional adjustability compared to standard tie-up laces.

The Cloudleap features a grippy rubber outsole with strategically placed rubber inserts on the heel and forefoot, providing excellent traction for various surfaces during active play, dashes, and jumps.

Yes, the breathable upper of the On Running Cloudleap is made from recycled polyester and TPU, contributing to a more sustainable product.

Ensure the shoe is the correct size. While designed for a semi-snug fit, excessive tightness can cause discomfort. Check if the tongue is properly aligned and the elastic laces aren't overly taut. A brief break-in period might also help, but persistent discomfort suggests a sizing issue.

The CloudTec Phase midsole and Helion superfoam are durable, but prolonged heavy use can compress materials over time. Ensure the shoes are cleaned regularly to prevent dirt from interfering with flex. If performance significantly degrades, consider the age of the shoes and typical wear patterns.

Inspect the rubber inserts on the heel and forefoot of the outsole. Ensure they are clean and free from embedded dirt or small stones that can reduce grip. If the rubber is significantly worn smooth, the traction will be compromised, indicating it might be time for a new pair.
