FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
While the Cloudhorizon Waterproof shoes can handle short stretches of road, they are primarily designed and optimized for trail running. Their cushioning and outsole are tailored for uneven, softer off-road surfaces.
How do I maintain the waterproof feature?
Regularly clean the shoes gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or using direct heat, as these can degrade the waterproof membrane over time.
What is CloudTec Phase technology?
CloudTec Phase is an advanced cushioning technology integrated into the midsole. It uses individual 'clouds' that collapse in sequence upon impact, providing adaptive cushioning and then springing back to propel you forward, optimizing comfort and energy return.
What does 'Missiongrip' mean for the outsole?
Missiongrip refers to On Running's specialized rubber compound and lug pattern used in the outsole. It is engineered to provide multi-directional traction, offering secure footing on varied and challenging trail surfaces, including wet, loose, and rocky terrain.
Do these shoes require a break-in period?
While On Running shoes are generally comfortable out of the box, a short break-in period of a few short walks or easy runs is recommended. This allows the materials to adapt to your foot shape and ensures maximum comfort on longer excursions.
Can I use these shoes for hiking?
Yes, the Cloudhorizon Waterproof shoes are excellent for hiking, especially day hikes or fastpacking where weather protection and reliable grip are beneficial. Their comfort and traction features translate well to hiking demands.
Troubleshooting
My feet are still getting wet.
Ensure the shoe's lacing is tight enough to prevent water from entering from the top. Consider wearing gaiters in very deep puddles or heavy rain, as the waterproof membrane only extends to the top of the upper, not above the ankle line. Check for any punctures or damage to the upper material that might compromise the membrane.
I'm experiencing discomfort or rubbing.
Check your sock choice; a good quality, moisture-wicking running sock can make a difference. Ensure the shoes are properly laced – not too tight, not too loose. If they are new, allow for a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct size and width.
The grip on trails feels insufficient.
Inspect the Missiongrip outsole for excessive wear, especially on the lugs. Ensure the treads are clean and free of packed mud or debris, which can reduce traction. On extremely technical or icy terrain, even the best grip can be challenged, so adjust your stride and expectations accordingly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are securely fastened but not overly tight. Use the padded collar to help achieve a snug, locked-in fit around your ankle to prevent movement and reduce the chance of debris entering the shoe.
- First Wear: Wear them for short walks before your first run to allow them to conform to your feet.
Compatibility
These shoes are specifically engineered for trail running and hiking in varying outdoor conditions, particularly wet environments. They are compatible with a range of trail surfaces, from soft dirt and mud to rocky paths. While they can be used on short stretches of road to connect trails, their primary design is for off-road performance.
Care Instructions
- Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy conditions, gently brush off loose dirt. Use a damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary) to wipe down the upper and outsole. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can compromise the waterproof membrane and material integrity.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as high heat can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain material quality.
- Inspecting: Regularly check the outsole for embedded debris and wear. Inspect the upper for any signs of damage to the waterproof membrane.
