FAQs
What type of running is the Cloudswift 4 best suited for?
The Cloudswift 4 is best suited for road running, daily training, and long-distance runs due to its exceptional cushioning, responsiveness, and breathable design.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
Yes, the Cloudswift 4 features an adaptive, sock-like fit designed to accommodate a wide range of foot shapes. While not specifically a 'wide' fit option, its construction offers flexibility.
How do I clean my Cloudswift 4 shoes?
Gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water solution with a soft cloth or brush. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents. Always air dry away from direct heat.
What is the 'Speedboard' and what does it do?
The Speedboard is a nylon-blend plate integrated into the midsole. Its purpose is to provide a responsive ride by enhancing forward propulsion, making each stride feel more efficient and powerful.
How much do the Cloudswift 4 shoes weigh?
The On Running Cloudswift 4 (UK 11) weighs approximately 278 grams, contributing to its lightweight and effortless running feel.
Is the upper made from recycled materials?
Yes, the breathable one-piece upper of the Cloudswift 4 is made from recycled polyester, reflecting a commitment to sustainability.
Will these shoes provide good grip in wet conditions?
The Cloudswift 4 features a grippy rubber outsole designed to provide reliable traction on various road surfaces. While it performs well in typical wet conditions, caution should always be exercised on extremely slippery or icy surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Check your lacing; ensure it's not overly tight, especially across the top of your foot. The adaptive fit should mold to your foot, but if discomfort persists, verify you have the correct size. Try wearing them for short periods to allow the shoe to adapt to your foot shape.
Lack of expected responsiveness or cushioning
Ensure the shoes are appropriate for your running style and distance. While highly cushioned and responsive, very heavy impacts or specific biomechanics might alter the perceived feel. If new, some break-in period might be needed. If shoes are old, the Helion superfoam may be nearing the end of its effective lifespan.
Foot overheating during runs
While the upper is breathable, ensure you're wearing appropriate running socks made of moisture-wicking material. Avoid cotton socks, which can trap heat and moisture. If the issue persists, consider conditions like very high ambient temperatures.
Slipping or insufficient grip on wet surfaces
The grippy rubber outsole performs well on typical road surfaces. However, extreme wet conditions or highly polished/icy surfaces can reduce traction. Adjust your stride and pace in such conditions. Regularly check the outsole for excessive wear.
Shoe noise (squeaking)
Squeaking can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe or between the shoe and your sock/insole. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or applying a small amount of baby powder under the insole to reduce friction. If new, it might dissipate after a few runs as the materials settle.

Setup & Initial Fit
To achieve the best fit, first ensure you have the correct shoe size (UK 11 for this variant). When lacing your Cloudswift 4s, pull the laces firmly but not too tightly, allowing your foot to sit comfortably within the sock-like upper. The adaptive fit is designed to mold to various foot shapes, but a proper lacing technique will secure your foot without restricting movement. Ensure the padded collar feels snug around your ankle for optimal support.

These trainers are designed for adult male runners across a wide range of distances and paces, particularly benefiting those who prioritize cushioning, responsiveness, and breathability for road running. Their adaptive fit makes them suitable for many foot types. They are ideal for daily training, long runs, and even tempo runs where comfort is key.
Care & Maintenance
To extend the life and maintain the performance of your Cloudswift 4 shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap and cold water solution with a cloth or soft brush. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can cause materials to shrink or crack.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Odor Control: Remove insoles after runs to allow both the insoles and shoes to air out completely. You can also use shoe deodorizers if needed.
