On Running Cloudhorizon - Beige - UK 8.5

The Cloudhorizon trainers are designed with 'added wet weather protection' and a soft engineered mesh. This provides a degree of protection against light rain and splashes, but they are not fully waterproof for prolonged exposure to heavy rain or submersion in deep puddles.

These trainers are incredibly versatile, ideal for a range of activities including daily wear, urban exploration, long walks, light to moderate hiking, and woodland trails. They are designed to handle varied inclines and different surfaces with comfort and traction.

We recommend cleaning them gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing. For the outsole, a soft brush can help remove dirt and debris. Always allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat.

CloudTec® Phase is On Running's advanced cushioning technology, featuring interconnected 'clouds' that collapse in sequence upon impact and then spring back. In the Cloudhorizon, a thick layer of this technology in the midsole provides superior cushioning, optimal energy return, and a smooth, rolling stride, especially beneficial on varied terrain.

Missiongrip™ is On Running's specialized rubber compound and lug pattern specifically engineered for hiking and trail running shoes. It provides reliable multi-directional traction on both wet and dry surfaces, ensuring stability and grip on challenging terrains like loose gravel, dirt, and wet rocks.

Yes, absolutely. While built for performance on trails, their modern style, exceptional comfort, and versatile design make them an excellent choice for comfortable and stylish everyday wear, commuting, and casual outings.

On Running shoes generally fit true to size for most users. We recommend trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit, especially with your preferred hiking or athletic socks. Your toes should have a small amount of room at the front, and your heel should feel secure without slipping.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks, as cotton socks can trap moisture. The mesh upper is highly breathable, so check if external factors like very humid weather or improper lacing are restricting airflow. Loosen laces slightly if they feel too tight.

While Missiongrip provides excellent traction, no shoe is 100% slip-proof on all surfaces. Ensure the outsole tread is clean of debris (mud, small stones) that might reduce grip. Adjust your stride to be more cautious on extremely wet or slippery conditions. Consider the specific type of wet surface; extremely slick surfaces like wet ice will always pose a challenge.

The lifespan of cushioning materials like CloudTec Phase can vary depending on usage frequency, intensity, and user weight. Ensure you are allowing your trainers to fully air dry between uses. If the shoes have significant mileage, the cushioning may naturally compress over time, indicating they might be nearing the end of their performance life. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help prolong their effectiveness.

First, ensure you have the correct size. Try different sock thicknesses or materials. Allow for a break-in period, as new shoes sometimes need a few wears to fully conform to your foot. If discomfort persists, check for any manufacturing imperfections or consider consulting a shoe fitting specialist.
