FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for trail running?
The On Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof is excellent for light trails and mixed terrain where waterproof protection is beneficial. For very technical, aggressive trail running with loose, rocky surfaces, shoes with a more aggressive outsole grip and rock plate might be more suitable.
How do I clean my Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof shoes?
Gently brush off loose dirt. Hand wash with cold water and a mild soap. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.
What makes the sole 'improved'?
The sole features a re-engineered pattern and larger channels designed to prevent small stones and debris from becoming lodged in the outsole, a common issue in previous models and other running shoes.
Is the waterproofing permanent?
The integrated waterproof membrane provides durable protection. The outer fabric also has a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating which can wear off over time. If water starts to soak into the outer fabric, re-applying a DWR spray designed for footwear can restore its water-shedding properties.
What's the difference between this and the non-waterproof Cloudrunner 2?
The primary difference is the waterproof membrane in this version, designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions. This may result in a slight increase in weight and a reduction in breathability compared to the standard Cloudrunner 2, which prioritizes maximum airflow.
What types of runs are these best for?
They are ideal for daily training, recovery runs, and longer efforts where comfort, support, and weather protection are priorities. Perfect for road running and well-maintained paths in any weather condition.
Troubleshooting
My feet still feel wet after running in rain.
Check if water is entering over the top of the shoe, around the ankle, or through worn areas. Ensure socks are not wicking water in from the top. For persistent issues, verify no tears in the membrane and consider re-applying a DWR treatment to the outer fabric.
The shoes feel too warm or my feet are sweaty.
Waterproof shoes inherently reduce breathability compared to non-waterproof models. This is normal, especially in warmer conditions. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks to manage sweat, or opt for non-waterproof shoes for runs in hot, dry weather.
The sole is still picking up small stones.
While the improved sole design significantly reduces stone trapping, no shoe is entirely impervious to all debris, especially very small or uniquely shaped stones on certain surfaces. Regularly check and clean the sole after runs, particularly on gravel or mixed terrains.
The shoes feel stiff during my run.
The Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof has a supportive and cushioned feel. If they feel overly stiff, ensure you've completed a short break-in period. If the issue persists, check that the lacing isn't too tight, which can restrict foot movement.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent waterproof protection for all-weather running.
- Sustainable upper made from 100% recycled mesh.
- Revolutionary sole design minimizes stone trapping for smoother runs.
- Provides significant support and cushioning for comfort.
- Durable construction suitable for consistent use.
Cons
- May offer less breathability than non-waterproof versions in hot, humid weather.
- Potentially slightly heavier due to waterproofing technology.
- Initial feel might be stiffer compared to non-waterproof, highly flexible shoes.
- Specific sole grip might not be optimized for extreme, technical trail terrains.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Lacing: Ensure a snug, secure fit without being too tight. Utilize all eyelets for optimal ankle support. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you experience pressure points.
- Break-In Period: While comfortable from the start, allow for a short break-in period (e.g., a few shorter runs) for the shoes to fully adapt to your foot shape.
Compatibility
- Terrain: Ideal for road running, paved paths, and light, non-technical trails where waterproof protection is beneficial.
- Runner Type: Suitable for runners seeking support, cushioning, and all-weather versatility. Great for daily trainers and those with neutral to moderate overpronation.
- Weather: Designed specifically for wet, damp, or rainy conditions. Can be used in dry weather, but may feel warmer than non-waterproof alternatives.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: After a run in muddy or wet conditions, gently remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Hand wash with cold water and a mild soap. Do *not* machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the waterproof membrane and materials.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers) as this can deform materials and compromise waterproofing. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odors or mildew.
- Waterproofing Longevity: The factory waterproofing is durable. If, over time, you notice water absorption on the outer fabric (i.e., 'wetting out'), you can apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for waterproof footwear to revive its performance. Always follow the DWR product's instructions.
