On Running Cloudhorizon 2 Hiking Shoes - White - UK 5

The Cloudhorizon 2 hiking shoes feature a breathable construction, which is excellent for comfort. While they offer some protection, they are not fully waterproof. For very wet conditions, consider using waterproof socks or applying a water-repellent treatment.

These shoes are designed to fit true to size. It is recommended to refer to the size guide and measure your foot if unsure. Trying them on with the type of socks you typically use for hiking is also advised.

CloudTec Phase™ is ON Running's advanced cushioning technology specifically engineered for a smooth, connected-to-the-ground feel with enhanced impact absorption during hiking, offering a more progressive cushioning experience than traditional foams.

While they are lightweight and cushioned, their primary design is for hiking, offering enhanced stability and grip for varied terrain. For dedicated trail running, a shoe with a more aggressive tread and specific running dynamics might be preferable.

The Missiongrip™ outsole is designed for durability and traction on trails. The larger lugs contribute to longevity and consistent performance across various surfaces. Regular cleaning will help maintain its grip and lifespan.

These shoes are best suited for a wide range of hiking terrain, including forest trails, gravel paths, moderate rocky sections, and uneven ground. The Missiongrip™ provides confidence on varied surfaces.

This is common with new hiking shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a secure but not overly tight fit.

Ensure the Missiongrip™ outsole is free of mud or debris. While designed for grip, extreme conditions might require additional caution. Check if the outsole has significant wear and consider replacement if worn down.

Ensure you are using moisture-wicking socks. The breathable upper helps, but sock material plays a crucial role in managing moisture. Consider thinner socks in warmer conditions.
