FAQs
What type of terrain are the On Cloudvista 2 Waterproof best suited for?
These shoes are best suited for light to moderate technical trails, gravel paths, and varied natural surfaces. Their Missiongrip™ outsole provides excellent traction in wet, muddy, and damp conditions.
Are these shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, the On Cloudvista 2 features a waterproof membrane integrated into the upper construction. This design keeps water out, ensuring your feet stay dry in rain, puddles, and damp trail conditions. However, water can still enter if it goes over the top of the shoe.
How should I clean my Cloudvista 2 Waterproof sneakers?
Remove excess dirt with a soft brush, then gently clean with lukewarm water and a mild soap if needed. Avoid harsh chemicals or hot water. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
Can I use these for road running?
While technically possible, the Cloudvista 2 Waterproof is primarily designed for trails. The aggressive tread of the Missiongrip™ outsole might feel overly pronounced and wear down faster on paved roads. For optimal performance and longevity, they are best kept on natural surfaces.
What is the weight of these shoes?
Info needed: Specific weight in grams or ounces.
Do I need to 'break in' these shoes?
On shoes are generally designed for out-of-the-box comfort, with minimal break-in required. However, it's always a good idea to wear them for a few shorter runs or walks before tackling a long-distance adventure to ensure optimal fit and feel.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
Info needed: Specific heel-to-toe drop in millimeters.
Troubleshooting
My feet still get wet even with 'waterproof' shoes.
Ensure water isn't entering from the top (e.g., in deep puddles or heavy rain without gaiters). Check for any damage to the shoe's upper or membrane. Also, wearing non-wicking socks can make your feet *feel* wet even if no external water is entering; opt for synthetic or wool socks designed for moisture management.
The grip feels less effective over time or on certain surfaces.
Inspect the outsole lugs for excessive wear or embedded debris (like mud or small rocks) that might be reducing traction. Clean the outsole thoroughly. Remember, while the Missiongrip™ is excellent, no shoe can guarantee absolute traction on all extreme surfaces like ice or very slick, loose mud. Adjust your stride and expectations for such conditions.
My feet feel hot or less breathable.
Waterproof membranes inherently reduce breathability compared to mesh-only uppers. This is a trade-off for waterproof protection. Consider wearing thinner, moisture-wicking socks to help manage internal moisture. These shoes are generally better suited for cooler, wetter conditions than hot, dry climates.
Discomfort or rubbing during long runs.
Ensure you have the correct size and a proper lacing technique. Your feet can swell during long runs, so ensure there's enough room, especially in the toe box. Experiment with different sock thicknesses. If the issue persists, ensure the shoe is fully broken in (though generally minimal for On shoes).

Cons
- May feel less breathable than non-waterproof trail shoes in hot, dry conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your On Cloudvista 2 Waterproof sneakers is straightforward:
- Lacing: Ensure your laces are securely tied to provide a snug yet comfortable fit. Adjust tension to prevent heel slip without constricting your foot.
- Initial Wear: Wear them around for a short period before a long run to get accustomed to their feel and fit. While designed for comfort out of the box, a brief acclimatization helps.
Compatibility
These shoes are optimized for:
- Terrain: Best suited for light to moderate technical trails, gravel paths, and varied natural surfaces. Excels in wet, muddy, and damp conditions.
- Activities: Ideal for trail running, hiking, fastpacking, and walking in outdoor environments.
- Weather: Designed for all-weather use, particularly beneficial in wet, cool, or unpredictable conditions due to their waterproof nature.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care extends the life and performance of your waterproof trail shoes:
- Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy conditions, gently remove excess dirt and mud. Use a soft brush or cloth and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh detergents or hot water, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and materials. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap can be used.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do NOT use direct heat sources like radiators, dryers, or direct sunlight, as this can degrade materials and compromise the waterproof integrity. You can stuff them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odor and mildew.
- Inspection: Regularly check the outsole for embedded debris (small rocks, thorns) and inspect the upper for any signs of wear or damage to the waterproof membrane.
