FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running in heavy rain or crossing streams?

The On Cloudvista 2 Waterproof is designed with a durable waterproof upper to keep your feet dry in rain, puddles, and wet conditions. However, if water goes above the shoe's collar (e.g., in deep stream crossings), your feet may still get wet.

What type of terrain are these shoes best suited for?

These shoes are engineered for trail running and perform best on varied terrain including dirt paths, gravel, mud, and moderate rocky trails. Their tough rubber outsole provides reliable traction on these surfaces.

How should I clean my Cloudvista 2 Waterproof shoes?

Gently brush off loose dirt. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid using harsh cleaning agents or machine washing, as this can damage the waterproof membrane and materials. Air dry away from direct heat.

Is the sizing consistent with other On running shoes?

While sizing can vary slightly between models, On typically maintains consistent sizing. It's generally recommended to try them on or refer to a size guide if you're unsure, especially if you're new to the On brand. This specific model is UK 8.5 for adult males.

What is the benefit of the Helion Superfoam midsole?

The Helion Superfoam midsole provides superior cushioning for comfort on long runs and offers responsive energy return. This means it absorbs impact effectively while also giving you a springy feel to help propel you forward.

Can these shoes be used for walking or light hiking?

While primarily designed for trail running, their comfort, cushioning, and reliable traction make them perfectly suitable for walking, light hiking, or general outdoor activities, especially in wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

My feet are still getting wet, even with the waterproof feature.

The waterproof membrane is effective against rain and splashes, but water can enter over the collar if submerged in deep puddles or streams. Ensure pants or gaiters are worn over the shoe collar in very wet conditions. Also, check for any tears or damage to the upper that might compromise the waterproofing.

The shoe feels too tight or too loose.

Adjust the lace tension. For tightness, re-lace starting with looser tension at the toes. For looseness, ensure laces are cinched securely and consider different lacing techniques for a more locked-down feel. The light padding around the collar is designed for comfort, but proper lacing is key to a secure fit.

I'm experiencing discomfort or rubbing during runs.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks to minimize friction. Check the fit of the shoe to ensure it's not too small or large. Break-in new shoes gradually on shorter runs before attempting longer distances. Examine the inside of the shoe for any debris or bunched-up sock material.

The outsole grip seems to be diminishing.

Inspect the outsole for excessive wear on the lugs, especially if you've frequently run on abrasive surfaces like pavement. Ensure no mud or debris is packed into the tread patterns, which can reduce grip. Clean the outsole thoroughly after muddy runs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent Waterproof Protection: Keeps feet dry in wet weather and muddy conditions.
  • Superior Cushioning: Helion Superfoam provides high comfort and absorbs impact effectively.
  • Reliable Traction: Tough rubber outsole ensures stability on varied and challenging trails.
  • Secure and Comfortable Fit: Lace closure and collar padding create a snug, supportive feel.
  • Durable Construction: Built to withstand the rigors of trail running.

Cons

  • Specialized for Trails: May feel less responsive or be over-engineered for casual use or road running.
  • Potential Warmth: Waterproofing can sometimes lead to reduced breathability in very hot conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded evenly through all eyelets. Start from the lowest point and gradually tighten, working your way up. Secure with a double knot for maximum hold on trails.
  2. Fit Check: With your foot in the shoe, stand up. Ensure there's about a thumb's width between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure, and the midfoot comfortably snug without pressure points.

Compatibility

  • Activity: Primarily designed for trail running. While they can handle light hiking, their optimization is for dynamic running movement.
  • Terrain: Best for varied trail surfaces, including dirt, gravel, mud, and moderate rocks.
  • User: Suitable for adult males (as per product attributes) seeking waterproof protection and cushioning in their trail running footwear.

Care

  • Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy conditions, gently brush off loose dirt. Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them directly on heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odor and material degradation.
  • Maintenance: Regularly check laces for wear and ensure the outsole is clear of embedded debris for optimal traction.
