How to stop the On CloudSurfer squeaking

[@craigbrown7256]

Thank you - felt that I had to apologies during a marathon due to the noise

[@ashleyleaver5586]

This works - thank you! Mine were squeaking terribly! People were stopping in the street to let me pass by them and it was putting me off wearing them - now sorted 👌

[@amysirghi3581]

I have had this problem for a little while and it was driving me nuts!!! It totally worked! Thank you!!

[@aaronkody6812]

Thank you for making this! Dealing with mega squeaks on my 6-week overseas adventure. Going to try Emory board and nail file asap

[@raybadudu787]

Thank you so much for this video! I needed this. My Cloudsurfers started squeaking past the 50-mile mark. Living in the Midwest, I wasn’t sure if I was going to keep them to run on the treadmills in the gym come the winter. It would’ve been embarrassing to squeak out the whole gym.

[@johnbrynda1805]

Thank you, solution to an aggravating problem.

[@sillybillybofilly]

I was doubting this would work… but it did. Thanks mate. Best shoe I’ve had for years now a million times better

[@user-ue1qu2cd3d]

Perfect solution, worked a treat. I can start wearing these again now.

[@yuennn]

Worked mostly! Not totally gone but Lowered volume from 100 to 20 😂 thanks!

[@todddraper7377]

It works for a little while and then they start squeaking again. I almost have to do this every day I wear the shoe. It really is a pain in the rear. Maybe I need better emery boards so something. It also seems to happen more often after it rains and the ground is wet. The shoes are very comfortable, but would tell someone not to buy them unless they want to squeak all the time. It is such a shame I paid so much for these shoes.

[@SimoneMancini1]

It worked for me! 😊😊Thanks from Brazil🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@molewnik]

Thank you so much! This is amazing! It works!

[@jasonmccracken3607]

i put a dab of vasoline in each of the back pods, the loud squeak became a quiet squelch but it was no longer annoying. it did turn those pods into dirt magnets though.

[@BruceBerckmans]

Just off the phone with On customer service regarding three week old cloudtec squeaking shoes (same thing happened to last pair after 2 months they told be I was not tying them correctly!) This time he said he would not say that but perhaps they were wet! (I am not making this up). Did offer to refund my money but I would have to package them up and drop them at a ups store (what is my time worth?). Sooo NEVER ever buy On shoes. Very unfortunate as they are comfortable but....

[@hugov1091]

Hi, this shoe is in my rotation for a few months after exactly 320 km, the squeaking noise came just after a wet tartan track session... I don't have sandpaper so, I put a thin layer of WD40 in those holes... There is no horrible squeaking noise anymore ! I bought the pair on the global release date, so maybe it's a common default for the first who has been sold ? Still sad that we have to do that on an expensive pair like this 😅

[@andyswims2639]

Just watched the video and took a belt sander belt from my painting supplies. Then I cut the belt crosswise, then cut a strip off the belt - just narrower than the sole slots. Sanded 10x each direction - full length of the belt strip. Will advise on outcome. Note: the belt coarseness was definitely towards the rough end of the spectrum as opposed to a finishing belt.

[@dilly6438]

Thanks heaps for the tip mate!

2/4/2024. Emery board approached the Squeak Zones. PROBLEM SOLVED. Movin' ON. (54th Vote UP)

[@WalkingDeer2349]

Thank you I will try ! It was so annoying that squeaky sound

[@11tobago]

My Cloud Eclipse has just started doing it as well!

[@kelsyec5419]

can you make that sound effect available for download 😅😅😅 i want to use it as a ringtone

[@joshprice2846]

Appreciate the solution, I was experiencing this issue.

[@JillianLeece]

Did it fix the squeaking?

[@joshprice2846]

@@JillianLeece I still hear the squeaking, but my file might be the issue.

[@Fiveforchloe]

This totally works!

[@markbadger265]

I emailed on cloud to product test …. Still waiting back to hear , my clouds squeak so much !!! Very unimpressed …. They need to iron out the problems

[@pdjhh]

Thanks so much mine are squeaking like mfs! Was just wondering maybe a bit of washing up liquid in the holes would do it too? Edit: yep I put some washing up liquid in the holes and squeak is gone. Mine are cloudstratas.

[@kris9074]

Why does it take 4 minutes to tell people to rough up the inside surface of the holes?

[@runforestrunshop]

Probably doesn’t tbf.

[@billmcculley9502]

Thanks

[@amazinegan]

Didn't work for me.

[@hawkf9199]

Another solution is to just not heel strike

[@Kaisersozze]

I just don't use mine for running or walking, just when I'm watching TV. 😁

[@williambrianscarborough2457]

The noise my CloudSurfer makes is more like a quack verses a squeak. Totally embarrassing. This fix did not work for me. I used a drill bit in my cordless drill to try to rough them up. Maybe I did not rough them up enough but did nothing to stop the irritating noise. I personnaly do not think that is where the noise I am experiencing is coming from. It feels like the green or hard part of the sole is sticking to smooth surfaces. I have hardwood floors at home and polished concrete on my office floors. I have never had such irritating shoes. My last pair definitely.

[@janiceulmilla9511]

I have one it’s annoying.

[@CarlosCirilo]

It's happening to me and I hate it.

[@bubachunks]

I tired it, didn’t work for me. Interestingly if I walk backwards there is no squeak at all. Same pressure etc. Ended using WD40. Instant fix

[@petermessenger3342]

Wd40? In the holes?

[@bubachunks]

@@petermessenger3342 The only thing that works for me

[@emmetreilly8859]

shorten the video my man

[@JA-hy8nu]

No thanks I’ll return them. Let us know when you fix the problem

[@runforestrunshop]

FYI. I’m not On! I’m just a stockist that’s trying to help!

[@modunn1]

Didn't work for me. Emory boards are too short to get through the wide part of the shoe, so used that along with heavy sandpaper. No change in squeaking, not sure this is a real solution. Also as it is only on my right shoe, would say it IS a production defect, or it would be consistent on all shoes. I will have to try WD 40 next !!

[@pdjhh]

See my post above. Washing up liquid in the holes.

[@xzzdm]

Does WD-40 work well to solve the squeak?

[@pdjhh]

@@xzzdmmight do. Try the new low scent one.

[@xzzdm]

@@pdjhh Will try it out. I've just received my emery boards and have thoroughly sanded through the holes/pods several times. I plan to test them out on a quick run next week to see if they're effective. I'm somewhat concerned that wet conditions, like rain or mud, might exacerbate the squeaking. Have you found the dish soap method to be effective in significantly reducing the squeak for an extended period?

[@pdjhh]

@@xzzdmit works 💯 however I had to put a bit more in after a apple of weeks. The squeak is more profound when going down hills and only the holes in the rear need to be treated.

[@RoadRallyLife]

Avoid these shoes. Unstable causing knee pain, loud and squeaky. I may end up trying the solution that starts at 2 min 45 seconds before throwing these away

[@DanieleSironi]

it worked for me, many thanks!
