FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The On Running Cloudhorizon features an engineered mesh upper made of polyester, which provides excellent breathability but is not fully waterproof. It offers some resistance to light splashes but is not designed for heavy rain or submersion. For wet conditions, consider waterproof hiking gaiters or a dedicated waterproof hiking shoe.

What kind of terrain are these shoes best for?

These shoes are best suited for moderate terrain, including well-maintained hiking trails, forest paths, gravel roads, and city trails. Their cushioning and grip are optimized for varied, but not extreme, surfaces.

How do I choose the correct size?

The On Running Cloudhorizon typically fits true to size. We recommend trying them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen, and wearing the type of socks you'd normally hike in. Ensure there's a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.

Can I use these for running?

While 'On Running' is the brand, the Cloudhorizon is specifically designed as a hiking shoe. Its thick cushioning and robust outsole are optimized for walking and hiking stability and comfort, not the dynamic movements or energy return required for trail running. For running, we recommend On's dedicated trail running models.

How heavy are these shoes?

A single men's Cloudhorizon shoe (UK 9.5) weighs approximately 315g, making it a relatively lightweight option for a cushioned hiking shoe. This light weight contributes to reduced fatigue during longer hikes.

What is the heel drop?

The On Running Cloudhorizon has a 6mm heel drop. This provides a balanced feel, contributing to a more natural stride and enhancing comfort on varied terrain.

Are replacement laces available?

Info needed: Please check with On Running's customer service or authorized retailers for availability of replacement laces. Standard hiking shoe laces of appropriate length may also be used.

Troubleshooting

My feet feel too hot during a hike.

The engineered mesh upper is breathable, but consider wearing thinner, moisture-wicking socks. Ensure your laces aren't too tight, which can restrict air circulation. If hiking in very warm conditions, take breaks to air out your feet.

I'm experiencing discomfort on my arches.

While the Cloudhorizon offers significant cushioning, individual foot shapes vary. If you have specific arch support needs, consider replacing the factory insoles with aftermarket orthopedic insoles. Also, ensure your shoes are laced correctly, providing snug support without excessive tightness.

The grip feels less effective than expected on certain surfaces.

The Missiongrip™ outsole is designed for reliable traction on moderate terrain. If you're encountering extremely wet, muddy, or icy conditions, or highly technical loose scree, the shoe's grip may be challenged beyond its intended use. For optimal performance, use on its recommended moderate terrain. Also, ensure the outsole is clean of compacted mud or debris that can reduce traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning for prolonged comfort on trails.
  • Reliable Missiongrip™ outsole provides confident traction on moderate terrain.
  • Breathable and durable upper keeps feet cool and protected.
  • Lightweight construction reduces foot fatigue during hikes.
  • Smooth rolling sensation enhances the natural stride.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for moderate terrain, may not be suitable for highly technical or extreme trails.
  • Polyester upper might offer less water resistance compared to Gore-Tex models (Info needed: specific water resistance rating of the polyester upper).
  • Thick cushioning might reduce ground feel for some users.

The On Running Cloudhorizon shoes are designed for immediate use. Simply lace them up to your desired comfort level. They are compatible with a range of hiking socks, and we recommend choosing moisture-wicking materials for optimal comfort. These shoes are best suited for moderate terrains, including well-maintained trails, forest paths, and undulating hills. Avoid using them for extremely technical, rocky, or off-trail scrambling that requires maximum ankle support or rigid sole protection. To care for your Cloudhorizon shoes:

  1. Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn mud, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
  3. Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing for extended periods.
  4. Insoles: Removable insoles can be taken out and air-dried separately to prevent odor buildup.
  5. Laces: Check laces periodically for wear and replace if necessary to maintain a secure fit.
