Full details
The ON RUNNING Cloudvista 2 Sneaker is designed for trail runners seeking versatility and enhanced comfort across varied terrain.

FAQs
What kind of terrain is the Cloudvista 2 best suited for?
The Cloudvista 2 is designed for mixed terrain, including packed dirt, gravel paths, and moderately technical trails. Its versatile design allows for comfortable running on a variety of surfaces.
How does the 'softer cushioning' benefit me?
Softer cushioning provides enhanced impact absorption, reducing stress on your joints and muscles during runs. This leads to greater comfort, especially on longer distances, and can help reduce fatigue.
What is the Speedboard, and what does it do?
The Speedboard is a plate integrated into the midsole. In the Cloudvista 2, it's a redesigned dual-tip version that helps propel you forward by delivering increased energy return and rebound, making your stride more efficient and responsive.
Are these shoes waterproof?
Info needed: Specific details on water resistance are not provided. Generally, if a shoe isn't explicitly marketed as waterproof (e.g., with Gore-Tex), it is not fully waterproof but may offer some water repellency.
How should I clean my Cloudvista 2 sneakers?
Clean them with a soft brush, mild soap, and cold water to remove dirt. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What is the recommended usage for these shoes?
These shoes are ideal for daily trail running, long training runs on mixed terrain, and exploring varied natural paths where comfort and versatility are key.
Can I use these for road running?
While designed for trails, the softer cushioning and versatile outsole mean they can handle short sections of road comfortably when transitioning between trails. However, for exclusive road running, a dedicated road running shoe would be more appropriate.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel too hot or sweaty.
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking running socks. After use, remove insoles and allow shoes to air dry completely.
Laces come undone frequently.
Try a double knot or an alternative lacing technique like a surgeon's knot to secure them better during runs.
Shoes feel less cushioned over time.
Cushioning material can compress with extended use. This is normal wear and tear. Consider replacing your shoes every 300-500 miles, depending on your running style and terrain.
My feet slide around inside the shoe on descents.
Check your lacing technique. Ensure the laces are snug, especially around the midfoot, to secure your foot without being overly tight. You might also try a lacing method that locks the heel better.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Using your Cloudvista 2 Sneakers effectively begins with proper lacing and fit.
- Wear Appropriate Socks: Use performance running socks to prevent blisters and optimize fit.
- Loosen Laces: Fully loosen the laces before inserting your foot.
- Insert Foot: Slide your foot into the shoe, ensuring your heel is seated firmly at the back.
- Lace Up: Starting from the bottom, tighten the laces evenly. Ensure they are snug but not too tight to restrict circulation.
- Check Fit: There should be about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Your heel should feel secure with minimal slipping.
Compatibility
- Terrain: Best suited for mixed terrain, including packed dirt, gravel, light mud, and moderately technical trails. It can handle some rock sections but is not designed for extreme rock gardens or scrambling.
- Activities: Ideal for trail running, hiking, and fast-paced walks on natural surfaces. Its comfort also makes it suitable for general outdoor casual wear.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care extends the life and performance of your Cloudvista 2 Sneakers.
- Cleaning: After use, especially on muddy trails, remove excess dirt by gently tapping the shoes together. Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soap with cold water to clean the upper and outsole. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight, tumble dryers) as this can damage materials and adhesives. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and allow both the insoles and shoes to air out. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight (remove before use).
- Inspection: Regularly check the outsole for wear and tear, and the upper for any signs of damage. Address minor issues promptly.
