On Running Cloud 6 Waterproof - Black - UK 10.5

The On Running Cloud 6 Waterproof offers excellent cushioning and support for city runs, light jogging, and daily active use. While they can handle regular runs, for specialized high-mileage training or competitive racing, you might explore other models designed specifically for those intensities. They are built as versatile, comfortable, and protective everyday trainers.

To maintain the integrity of the waterproof membrane, regularly clean the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry completely. Avoid using harsh chemicals, tumble dryers, or washing machines, as these can degrade the waterproof properties over time.

The Cloud 6 Waterproof is primarily designed for urban environments and paved surfaces due to its outsole tread pattern and cushioning system. While they offer good grip on light, non-technical trails, for rugged or technical trail running, shoes with deeper lugs and more protective uppers are typically recommended.

Gently wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a small amount of mild soap can be used. Remove the insoles and wash them separately if needed. Allow the shoes to air dry thoroughly at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash.

On Running shoes generally fit true to size. However, fit can vary slightly between individuals and models. For the best experience, it is always recommended to try them on or consult a sizing guide if purchasing online, especially if you are between sizes.

The Speedboard technology acts as a flexible plate within the midsole. It helps to distribute pressure evenly across the foot, enhance stability, and most notably, it stiffens on impact to store energy, then releases it as you push off, giving you a more propulsive and responsive feel during your stride.

Ensure the laces are securely tightened to prevent water entry through the collar. Also, check for any visible damage to the waterproof membrane. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks, as cotton socks can retain sweat.

This can be a sign of normal wear and tear on the cushioning and Speedboard. Ensure proper cleaning and storage. If the support significantly diminishes, it may be time to consider replacing them, especially if you use them for regular running.

New shoes can sometimes make slight squeaking noises as materials settle or due to trapped moisture. This often resolves with continued wear. If persistent, check if a small stone or debris is lodged in the outsole pattern. If the squeak is internal, it might be due to the insole rubbing against the footbed; try removing and reinserting the insole.

Ensure you are using a secure lacing knot, such as a double knot or surgeon's knot. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with new ones of a similar type and length.
