On Running Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof - Grey - UK 6.5

The Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof trainers are built for exceptional comfort and support, making them excellent for everyday runs, recovery runs, and consistent mileage on roads and urban paths. While they offer high performance, specialized racing shoes might be preferred for competitive events.

To clean, gently brush off loose dirt. Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap to wipe down the mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid harsh detergents, machine washing, or tumble drying as these can damage the materials and waterproof properties. Air dry at room temperature.

The 'Waterproof' designation means the shoes are constructed with a membrane that prevents water from penetrating the upper material, keeping your feet dry in rain, puddles, and damp conditions. It's designed to withstand water from external sources, but is not intended for full submersion.

CloudTec is On Running's signature cushioning technology, featuring individual 'clouds' that compress upon impact for soft landings and then lock firm for powerful push-offs. Helion Superfoam is a light, durable, and temperature-resistant foam used in the midsole to provide high energy return and consistent cushioning.

On Running shoes generally fit true to size. However, it's always recommended to refer to a size guide if available and consider trying them on, especially if you are between sizes or have specific fit preferences. This specific model is a UK 6.5.

While they feature a breathable mesh, the addition of a waterproof membrane will naturally make them slightly warmer than a non-waterproof equivalent. They are best suited for mild to cool, or wet conditions. For very hot climates, a non-waterproof, highly ventilated shoe might be more comfortable.

While waterproof, these shoes are designed to protect against splashes and light precipitation. Ensure the shoe's collar is snug around your ankle to prevent water from entering from the top. Also, check for any tears or damage to the waterproof membrane that might compromise its effectiveness. In very heavy rain or submersion, no shoe can guarantee 100% dryness.

The CloudTec and Helion Superfoam cushioning is designed for durability, but all running shoe midsoles will compress over time with use. Consider your accumulated mileage; if you've put in several hundred miles, the shoe might be reaching the end of its optimal lifespan. Ensure proper lacing for consistent support and try different sock types.

Waterproof shoes inherently have a slight trade-off in breathability compared to non-waterproof models due to the membrane. If you're wearing them in warmer weather or with thick socks, your feet may feel warm. Try wearing thinner, moisture-wicking socks to help manage temperature and moisture, and ensure the shoe is not laced too tightly, which can restrict airflow.
