FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious trail running?
The On Running Cloud 6 Waterproof shoes are highly versatile and can handle light trails and mixed-terrain conditions well, especially in wet weather. However, for extremely technical or aggressive trail running, shoes with more specialized lug patterns and robust uppers might be more appropriate. They excel on roads and groomed paths.
Can I replace the speed laces with traditional laces?
The Cloud 6 Waterproof is designed with a speed lacing system for convenience and a secure fit. While it may be physically possible to swap them for traditional laces, this could alter the shoe's intended fit and performance. We recommend sticking with the original speed laces for optimal experience unless manufacturer guidelines suggest otherwise.
How do I know if the shoes fit correctly, especially with the 'wider opening'?
For a correct fit, your longest toe should have about a thumb's width of space from the front of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure without slipping, and there should be no uncomfortable pressure points. The wider opening is designed to offer more comfort and accommodate a broader range of foot shapes, contributing to a more inclusive fit.
What is the 'Speedboard' feature, and what does it do?
The Speedboard is a proprietary liquid-injected plate integrated into the sole of On Running shoes. Its purpose is to flex with your foot, converting the energy from landing into forward propulsion. This delivers a responsive, explosive take-off and a more energetic stride, helping you move more efficiently.
How breathable are waterproof running shoes like these?
The On Running Cloud 6 Waterproof shoes utilize a waterproof membrane that is designed to be breathable, allowing some heat and moisture (sweat) to escape while preventing external water from entering. While they offer good breathability for a waterproof shoe, they will generally feel less airy than non-waterproof models, especially in very hot or humid conditions where maximum ventilation is prioritized.
What materials are used in the construction of these shoes?
The upper of the On Running Cloud 6 Waterproof shoes is primarily made from polyester with a textile lining, which incorporates the waterproof membrane. The sole consists of a textile inner and a durable rubber outer, providing cushioning and traction.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel damp or wet inside despite the waterproof claim.
First, ensure you're wearing moisture-wicking socks, as cotton socks can trap sweat against your skin, making feet feel damp. Inspect the shoes for any visible tears or damage to the upper that might compromise the waterproof membrane. If the shoes are new, dirt or mud accumulation on the outer surface can sometimes hinder breathability, so ensure they are clean.
Speed laces feel too tight, causing discomfort, or too loose, leading to slipping.
Adjust the tension of the speed laces. Pull the loop to tighten or loosen as needed, then secure with the stopper. Experiment with the tension before and during activity to find the optimal balance between a secure fit and comfort for your foot shape and running style. Ensure the stopper is fully engaged.
Shoes feel less cushioned or supportive over time.
Running shoes have a finite lifespan, typically 300-500 miles, depending on usage and runner's weight. If the cushioning feels significantly compressed or the ride is no longer responsive, it may be time to replace your shoes. Using the shoes beyond their intended lifespan can lead to reduced performance and increased risk of injury.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Getting started with your On Running Cloud 6 Waterproof shoes is straightforward:
- Slip On: The wider opening allows for easy entry. Slide your foot into the shoe.
- Adjust Speed Laces: Pull the loop of the speed laces to tighten the shoe to your desired snugness. Use the stopper mechanism to secure the laces in place. Ensure the fit is secure but comfortable, allowing for natural foot movement without excessive pressure points.
- Go: Your shoes are ready for your next adventure.
Compatibility
These shoes are highly versatile and compatible with:
- Running Surfaces: Roads, pavements, light trails, gravel paths, and mixed urban environments.
- Activities: Daily running, walking, commuting, light hiking, and general active casual wear.
- Weather Conditions: Primarily designed for wet, damp, and cool conditions, but also comfortable in dry weather (though slightly less breathable than non-waterproof models).
Care & Maintenance
Proper care extends the life and maintains the performance of your waterproof shoes:
- Initial Cleaning: After each use, especially in muddy or dirty conditions, knock off any loose dirt or debris from the outsole and upper.
- Hand Washing: Gently clean the upper with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mild soap (e.g., diluted dish soap) mixed with cold water. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Do Not Submerge: Do not fully submerge the shoes in water, as this can compromise internal materials and adhesives.
- Rinse Gently: Rinse the shoes carefully with cold water, ensuring all soap residue is removed.
- Air Dry: Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or other artificial heat sources, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane, adhesives, and material integrity.
- Maintain Waterproofing: While the internal membrane is waterproof, the outer material's water repellency can degrade over time. Periodically apply a suitable waterproof spray specifically designed for footwear textiles to help bead water off the surface.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.
