On Running Cloud 6 Waterproof - Black - UK 6.5

The On Running Cloud 6 Waterproof shoes are specifically designed for city runs, light road running, and everyday urban activities. While they offer responsive cushioning, they are not intended for aggressive trail running or extreme off-road conditions due to their specific outsole design and urban focus.

These shoes feature a fully waterproof membrane integrated into the upper construction. This membrane acts as a barrier, preventing water from entering the shoe from the outside while still allowing moisture vapor (sweat) to escape, helping to keep your feet dry and comfortable.

Yes, you can wear them in warm weather. While they are waterproof, the membrane is also breathable. However, like any waterproof shoe, they might feel slightly warmer than a non-waterproof, highly ventilated shoe. For optimal comfort in very hot conditions, consider a non-waterproof On Running model.

`Zero-Gravity CloudTec®` refers to On Running's signature cushioning system. It uses individual 'cloud' elements that compress upon impact to provide soft landings and then lock firm for a powerful push-off, giving a responsive and cushioned ride with minimal weight.

The midsole of the Cloud 6 Waterproof features `bio-attributed Zero-Gravity foam`. This foam is made with renewable materials sourced from ISCC+ certified bio feedstock, such as waste cooking oil, contributing to a more sustainable product.

The Cloud 6 Waterproof has an updated sockliner and a wider opening for an inclusive and comfortable fit. We recommend trying them on with the socks you typically wear. Ensure there's about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe, and that your heel feels secure without excessive slipping.

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Machine washing can damage the waterproof membrane, adhesives, and materials. For cleaning, gently brush off dirt and use a soft cloth with mild soap and cold water, then air dry.

While the shoes are waterproof, moisture can still enter from the top (e.g., if water splashes over the ankle collar) or build up from sweat if worn for extended periods in warm conditions. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking and check if water is entering from above the waterproof line. If the issue persists, inspect for any damage to the waterproof membrane.

Regularly check the rubber outsole pods for dirt, mud, or small stones that might be lodged in the grooves, reducing traction. Clean the outsole thoroughly. If the rubber pods show significant wear, performance may be affected over time, indicating a need for replacement.

The `CloudTec` cushioning and `Speedboard` are designed for durability, but their performance can be affected by debris or prolonged extreme use. Ensure the shoe is clean. Over extended periods and heavy use, all cushioning materials will naturally compact. If the shoe feels significantly different, consider the mileage and age of the footwear.
