Full details
The On Cloudvista 2 Waterproof Trainers are engineered for adventurers and trail runners seeking reliable performance across diverse outdoor environments. Their primary benefit lies in offering robust waterproofing and superior comfort, ensuring your feet stay dry and supported on challenging trails. A minor consideration is that the waterproof membrane, while protective, might slightly reduce breathability compared to non-waterproof alternatives. These trainers combine advanced cushioning with exceptional traction, making them an ideal choice for varied outdoor pursuits.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday road running?
While you can certainly walk or run on roads in these trainers, they are primarily designed with an outsole optimized for the varied and often challenging surfaces of trails. For dedicated road running, a shoe specifically designed for that purpose might offer a different feel.
What kind of terrain are these trainers best suited for?
The Cloudvista 2 Waterproof Trainers are built for 'all terrains.' This includes dirt paths, gravel trails, rocky singletracks, and muddy conditions. The `Missiongrip` outsole is specifically designed to provide traction across these diverse surfaces.
How does the `Helion superfoam` benefit me?
`Helion superfoam` is a cushioning technology designed to provide a soft landing and powerful take-off. It offers excellent energy return and durability, ensuring comfort and responsiveness throughout your run or hike, especially on hard or uneven ground.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash the Cloudvista 2 Waterproof Trainers. Machine washing can damage the waterproof membrane, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Follow the manual cleaning instructions provided in the care section.
How do I ensure the waterproof feature lasts?
Proper care and cleaning are key. Avoid harsh chemicals, extreme heat, and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Regularly clean off dirt and allow them to air dry thoroughly after each use. Avoid picking at or damaging the upper material.
Are these trainers true to size?
On Cloudvista 2 Waterproof Trainers generally run true to size. However, foot shape varies, so it's always recommended to consult On's official sizing chart or try them on to ensure the best fit, especially if you plan to wear thick hiking socks.
Troubleshooting
My feet still feel wet despite the waterproof claim.
Ensure your socks are not absorbing water from above the shoe's collar (e.g., from rain running down your leg). Consider wearing waterproof gaiters in very wet conditions. Also, check that the waterproof membrane hasn't been compromised by damage or excessive wear, though this is rare in new shoes.
The traction feels less effective than expected.
Thoroughly clean the `Missiongrip` outsole to remove any embedded mud, small stones, or debris that might be reducing grip. Ensure the tread pattern is clear. If the shoes are older, significant wear on the outsole lugs can also reduce traction.
The shoes feel too warm or less breathable.
Waterproof materials inherently limit breathability compared to non-waterproof fabrics. This is a trade-off for protection. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks to help manage internal humidity. Ensure proper ventilation by allowing shoes to air out completely after each use.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- All-Weather Protection: The waterproof upper ensures feet remain dry, crucial for unpredictable trail conditions.
- Exceptional Comfort: `Helion superfoam` provides superior cushioning for extended wear and long-distance runs.
- Reliable Traction: `Missiongrip` outsole offers confident footing on slippery, wet, or uneven surfaces.
- Versatile Use: Suitable for various outdoor activities, including trail running, hiking, and general outdoor adventures.
- Durable Construction: Designed to withstand the rigors of challenging outdoor environments.
Cons
- Reduced Breathability: As with most waterproof footwear, the upper may offer slightly less ventilation than non-waterproof models.
- Potential for Stiffness: Waterproofing can sometimes add a minor increase in rigidity compared to highly flexible non-waterproof shoes.
- Specific Terrain Focus: While versatile, the outsole is optimized for trails and might feel less ideal on pure road surfaces.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure laces are snug but not too tight. Use the provided lacing system to secure your foot comfortably, preventing excessive movement inside the shoe while allowing for natural foot flex.
- Break-In Period: While comfortable from the start, allow for a short break-in period over a few short runs or walks to fully adapt the shoes to your foot shape and gait.
Compatibility
- Sizing: These trainers are available in standard UK adult male sizes (e.g., UK 7, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 11, 12). Refer to On's official sizing chart for precise measurements if unsure.
- Activity: Designed for trail running, hiking, and general outdoor use. Suitable for varied terrains including dirt, gravel, rocks, and wet surfaces.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: After use, especially on muddy trails, gently rinse off excessive mud and dirt with cold water. For more thorough cleaning, use a soft brush and a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the waterproof membrane and adhesives. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odor and mildew.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the outsole for embedded debris that could affect traction. Inspect the upper for any signs of wear or damage to the waterproof layer.
