FAQs

Are the On Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof trainers suitable for trail running?

These trainers are primarily designed for urban environments and roads due to their cushioning and tread pattern. While they offer excellent grip and waterproof protection for light, non-technical trails, for aggressive or rocky trail running, a dedicated trail shoe with more robust traction and rock protection would be more suitable.

How do I maintain the waterproof feature of these trainers?

To maintain the waterproof integrity, regularly clean the trainers with a soft cloth and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or using high heat, as this can damage the waterproof membrane.

What kind of socks should I wear with waterproof running shoes?

It is recommended to wear technical, moisture-wicking socks made from synthetic blends or merino wool. These materials help manage sweat and prevent blisters, complementing the waterproof yet breathable nature of the shoe. Avoid cotton socks, which retain moisture.

What is CloudTec technology?

CloudTec is On Running's signature cushioning system, featuring individual 'cloud' elements on the outsole. These elements compress horizontally and vertically upon impact, providing adaptive cushioning. They then firm up for a solid, powerful push-off, resulting in a unique 'running on clouds' sensation and efficient energy return.

What is Helion Superfoam?

Helion Superfoam is an advanced foam technology developed by On Running. It's engineered to be both lightweight and durable, offering consistent cushioning and high energy return in various temperatures. It works in conjunction with CloudTec to provide a plush yet responsive ride.

Can I machine wash my On Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended for these trainers. It can damage the waterproof membrane, adhesives, cushioning, and overall structure of the shoe. Always hand-clean using a mild soap and water, then allow them to air dry.

Are these trainers true to size?

Most users find On Running shoes to be true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. It's generally recommended to try them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering running shoes often benefit from a small amount of space at the toe.

Troubleshooting

My feet still feel wet in rainy conditions.

Ensure your laces are tied securely to prevent water entry through the ankle collar. Check for any visible damage to the waterproof membrane on the upper. Also, ensure you are wearing appropriate socks that wick moisture, as some sweat can accumulate internally if not managed.

The cushioning doesn't feel as responsive as it used to.

Over time, all shoe cushioning can compress. However, ensure the CloudTec elements on the sole are free from embedded debris, which can hinder their flex and responsiveness. Regular cleaning of the sole can help maintain performance. Consider the mileage; shoes have a typical lifespan for optimal cushioning.

I'm experiencing discomfort or rubbing.

Check your lacing technique to ensure a snug yet comfortable fit. Experiment with different lacing patterns if you have specific pressure points. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks that are free of seams or bunched fabric. Break-in time may also be needed for new shoes.

My trainers have an unpleasant odor.

After each use, remove insoles and allow the shoes to air dry completely. You can use odor-absorbing inserts or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight (remove before wearing). Ensure the shoes are not stored in damp, confined spaces.

The sole seems to be losing grip on wet surfaces.

Regularly inspect the outsole for wear and tear, especially the tread patterns. Clean any mud or debris from the sole that might reduce traction. While waterproof, extreme caution should still be exercised on very slick or icy surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning and energy return from CloudTec and Helion Superfoam.
  • Breathable and comfortable thanks to the recycled mesh upper.
  • Durable construction with supportive synthetic overlays.
  • Versatile style suitable for both active and casual wear.
  • Made with a sustainable 100% recycled mesh upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Getting started with your Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof Trainers is straightforward. Simply unbox, lace them up to your preferred comfort and security, and you're ready to go. Ensure laces are tied snugly to prevent foot slippage and provide optimal support.

Compatibility:

These trainers are primarily designed for:

  • Urban Running: Excellent for roads, pavements, and city paths.
  • Daily Walking & Commuting: Provides comfort and protection for everyday use.
  • Light Training: Suitable for gym workouts and general fitness activities.
  • All-Weather Use: Their waterproof feature makes them ideal for wet, damp, or rainy conditions.

They are best suited for neutral to mild overpronators looking for cushioning and support. While versatile, for highly specialized activities like extreme trail running or competitive track sprints, dedicated footwear might be more appropriate.

Care:

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water to clean the upper and sole. Gently wipe away dirt and mud. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them directly on heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
  3. Waterproofing Maintenance: While waterproof, excessive mud or chemical exposure can degrade the membrane over time. Clean promptly after such exposure.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  5. Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can damage the waterproof membrane, cushioning, and structural integrity of the shoe. Hand-clean only.
