Product Information
Full details
The ON Running Cloudsurfer Max trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking maximum cushioning and a natural, flexible feel for long distances. Their key benefit is an incredibly plush and comfortable ride, thanks to a generous 37mm stack height and advanced Helion superfoam with CloudTec Phase cushioning. A potential caveat is the smooth rocker shape and lack of Speedboard, which may feel less responsive for runners accustomed to a firmer, more propulsive shoe. These trainers feature a breathable 'Chai' mesh upper, heel cushioning, and are built for any journey, offering a smooth, cushioned experience.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Cloudsurfer Max?
The main benefit is maximum cushioning and a plush, comfortable ride, ideal for long distances and reducing impact.
Is this shoe suitable for racing?
While comfortable, the focus is on cushioning rather than aggressive speed. It's best suited for longer, steady-paced runs or recovery days rather than competitive racing where responsiveness is key.
How does the lack of Speedboard affect the shoe?
The absence of a Speedboard allows for greater flexibility and a more natural, less restrictive feel underfoot, promoting a smoother gait.
What is CloudTec Phase cushioning?
CloudTec Phase is ON Running's proprietary cushioning technology designed to deliver a smooth transition and soft landing with fewer elements.
Can I wear these shoes with my own insoles?
Yes, the trainers generally accommodate standard aftermarket insoles if you require additional customization or support, though the existing cushioning is substantial.
What is the stack height of the Cloudsurfer Max?
The shoe features a 37mm stack height, contributing to its maximal cushioning profile.
How do I clean the 'Chai' mesh upper?
Use a damp cloth to gently wipe the mesh and synthetic upper. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing system to achieve a secure but comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size (11 in this variant).
Cushioning feels less responsive than expected.
This model prioritizes plush comfort over aggressive responsiveness. For a firmer feel, consider other ON Running models. Ensure the shoe is properly broken in.
Upper material feels warm.
While designed for breathability, in very hot conditions, ensure socks are also moisture-wicking. The 'Chai' mesh offers good ventilation for most conditions.
Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces.
The synthetic sole offers good traction on dry surfaces. Exercise caution and reduce speed on very wet or slippery roads.
