FAQs

What is the difference between Cloud 6 and Cloud 6 Waterproof?

The Cloud 6 Waterproof features an integrated waterproof membrane in the upper, a tighter mesh structure, and connected outsole pods for enhanced grip in wet conditions. The standard Cloud 6 does not have these weather-protective features.

Can I use these trainers for long-distance running or marathons?

While the Cloud 6 Waterproof offers excellent cushioning and support, it is generally optimized for daily training, urban runs, and all-day comfort. For dedicated long-distance or marathon running, you might consider other On Running models specifically designed for high mileage and race performance.

How does the Speedboard® work?

The Speedboard® is a liquid-injected plate located between the CloudTec sole and the upper. It helps distribute pressure evenly across the Cloud elements, supports the natural rolling motion of the foot, and provides a responsive, propulsive feel for efficient energy return.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Cloud 6 features a 'wider opening' and a 'new sockliner' designed for an easier and more inclusive fit. However, individual foot shapes vary. For those with particularly wide feet, it's always recommended to try them on to ensure optimal comfort.

How do I maintain the waterproof performance?

Regularly clean the shoes as described in the 'Care & Maintenance' section. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing. While durable, the waterproof membrane can be compromised by sharp objects or extreme wear. Ensure shoes are always air-dried completely before storage.

What is Zero-Gravity CloudTec®?

Zero-Gravity refers to the specific foam compound used in the CloudTec® sole. It is an ultralight EVA foam engineered to create the signature 'Cloud' elements that compress upon landing for soft cushioning and then lock firm for a solid push-off, mimicking the sensation of 'running on clouds' with minimal weight.

Troubleshooting

My feet feel damp inside the shoes even though they are waterproof.

First, ensure the shoes are laced correctly and snug around the ankle to prevent water from entering from above. Also, check that your socks are suitable; moisture-wicking socks are recommended, as cotton socks can absorb sweat and feel damp. In extreme conditions, some internal moisture from perspiration is normal. Confirm there are no tears or damage to the waterproof membrane.

The speed lacing system feels too tight or too loose.

Adjust the tension by pulling the laces through the stopper. For a tighter fit, pull the laces further. For a looser fit, press the button on the stopper and allow the laces to extend. Experiment to find the optimal tension that provides both security and comfort without restricting movement.

The cushioning feels less responsive over time.

Like all running shoes, the CloudTec elements can compress over extensive use. Allow the shoes to fully decompress and dry out between wears. If the cushioning remains consistently flat or uncomfortable, it might indicate the shoes are reaching the end of their functional lifespan, typically around 300-500 miles depending on usage and runner's weight.

I notice reduced grip on wet surfaces.

While the outsole is designed for wet weather grip, extreme conditions (e.g., icy patches, very slick moss) can still pose challenges. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris, mud, or small stones, which can impair traction. Consider checking the wear pattern on the outsole; if it's significantly worn down, the grip will naturally decrease.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Weather Protection: Fully waterproof design keeps feet dry in rain and puddles.
  • Superior All-Day Comfort: CloudTec cushioning and enhanced fit features deliver comfort from morning to night.
  • Responsive Performance: Speedboard ensures dynamic support and energy return.
  • Eco-Conscious Construction: Bioattributed foam reduces environmental impact.
  • Secure & Convenient Fit: Speed lacing system provides quick and reliable lockdown.
  • Reliable Wet Grip: Outsole engineered for better traction in slippery conditions.

Cons

  • Breathability Trade-off: Waterproofing can sometimes lead to slightly reduced breathability compared to non-waterproof mesh versions.
  • Speed Lacing Learning Curve: While convenient, some users may prefer the traditional adjustability of standard laces.
  • Weight: At approximately 267g (UK 8.5 equivalent), they are not the lightest trainers, a common characteristic for waterproof models.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

  1. Lacing: The Cloud 6 Waterproof features a speed lacing system. To adjust, simply pull the elastic laces to tighten, and use the stopper to secure the fit. To loosen, press the stopper and pull the excess lace. Ensure a snug, comfortable fit that doesn't restrict circulation.
  2. First Wear: It's advisable to wear your new trainers for shorter periods initially to allow them to conform to your foot shape before extended use.

Compatibility

  • Target User: Designed for adult males seeking comfort and weather protection for running, training, and everyday wear. (This specific variant is UK size 7.5, black color).
  • Activities: Ideal for road running, urban exploration, light training, walking, and daily commuting in all weather conditions.
  • Surfaces: Performs well on pavement, tarmac, and moderately uneven surfaces due to its responsive cushioning and grippy outsole.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care extends the life and maintains the performance of your waterproof trainers:

  1. Cleaning:
  • Remove loose dirt with a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush) after each use.
  • Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap (e.g., dish soap diluted in water). Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  • For tougher stains, gentle scrubbing with the damp cloth is usually sufficient.
  • DO NOT machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the waterproof membrane and bonding.
  1. Drying:
  • Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage materials.
  • You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
  1. Storage:
  • Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odor and mildew.
  1. Waterproofing Maintenance: While the membrane is durable, regular cleaning helps maintain its integrity. Avoid excessive exposure to dirt and chemicals that could compromise the waterproof layer.
