FAQs

Are the On Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof shoes truly waterproof?

Yes, these shoes feature a high-performance waterproof membrane and waterproof engineered breathable mesh lining designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.

What kind of running are these shoes best suited for?

They are ideal for daily training, longer runs, and general fitness activities, especially in wet weather. Their high cushioning, support, and stability make them suitable for a wide range of distances and conditions on roads and tracks.

What is Helion™ super foam, and what does it do?

Helion™ super foam is an upgraded midsole material that provides a softer underfoot feel and delivers higher energy return than previous foams, enhancing propulsion and overall comfort during your run.

What is the recycled content of these shoes?

The entire upper of the Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof is made from 100% recycled polyester, and the shoe contains a total of 30% recycled content.

What is the weight and heel-to-toe offset of the Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof?

The shoe weighs 320g, and it has a heel-to-toe offset (drop) of 10mm.

How should I clean my On Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof shoes?

Always refer to the product label for specific care instructions. Generally, use a damp cloth to gently clean dirt from the upper and sole. Avoid harsh chemicals and machine washing, and allow them to air dry naturally.

Has the outsole design been improved to prevent stones from getting stuck?

Yes, the outsole has been updated with a new design specifically engineered to ensure it doesn't pick up stones as you run, while still providing excellent durability and traction.

Troubleshooting

My feet still feel damp after running in the rain.

While the shoes are waterproof, water can enter from the top if splashed over the ankle or if worn with non-waterproof socks. Ensure your gaiters are secured if running in deep puddles, and consider waterproof socks for extreme conditions. Also, verify laces are snug to minimize gaps.

I feel the shoes are too heavy for my running style.

The Cloudrunner 2 is designed as a highly cushioned, structured shoe, which contributes to its 320g weight. This weight is integral to providing the high levels of support and comfort. If you prefer a lighter, more agile feel, you might explore other On models designed for speed or minimalist running.

Despite the new design, I occasionally still pick up small stones in the outsole.

The updated outsole is engineered to significantly reduce stone pick-up, but in certain conditions or with very small debris, it can still occur. Regularly check your outsoles after runs, especially on gravelly paths, and remove any lodged stones to maintain optimal performance and prevent wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional waterproofing keeps feet dry in rain and puddles.
  • High level of cushioning and comfort from CloudTec® and Helion™ super foam.
  • Provides significant energy return for a more propulsive feel.
  • Enhanced stability and support for a confident stride.
  • Environmentally conscious design with 100% recycled polyester upper.
  • Improved outsole prevents stone pick-up while maintaining grip.

Cons

  • At 320g, it might be considered heavy for some runners seeking lightweight options.
  • As a 'structured shoe,' it offers substantial support which may not suit all foot types or running preferences.
  • The deep stack cushioning, while comfortable, can feel less 'ground contact' oriented for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Getting started with your Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof shoes is straightforward. Simply use the front lace-up fastening to secure a snug and comfortable fit. Ensure the laces are firm but not overly tight to allow for natural foot expansion during your run. The plush tongue contributes to an immediate comfortable feel upon lacing.

Compatibility:

These shoes are ideal for adult male runners seeking a highly cushioned and structured shoe. They are particularly well-suited for:

  • Daily training runs: Providing comfort and support for regular mileage.
  • Longer distances: The deep stack cushioning reduces fatigue over extended periods.
  • Wet weather running: The waterproof feature makes them perfect for runs in rain or damp conditions.
  • Runners needing stability: The heel clip and reinforcements offer excellent support.

Care:

For optimal product longevity, always refer to the product label for specific care instructions. Generally, for shoes with waterproof membranes, it's recommended to:

  • Clean gently: Use a damp cloth to wipe off dirt and mud. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the waterproof membrane or materials.
  • Air dry: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can degrade materials.
  • Avoid machine washing: Machine washing can compromise the shoe's structure and waterproof properties.
