FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The standard Cloudhorizon 2 model is designed for breathability. If you require water protection, check for specific 'Waterproof' variants in the product range.

Can I use these for trail running?

While technically a hiking shoe, their lightweight build and cushioning allow them to handle light trail running, though they are optimized primarily for hiking.

How often should I replace them?

It is recommended to inspect the outsole and cushioning integrity every 300 to 500 miles of use, depending on the intensity and harshness of the terrain.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The Cloudhorizon 2 generally offers a standard width fit. If you have exceptionally wide feet, you may want to try them on in-store to ensure the midfoot volume is sufficient.

Does the shoe provide arch support?

Yes, the design includes a structured midsole that provides inherent arch support suitable for neutral to moderate pronation.

Troubleshooting

Foot slipping inside the shoe during descents

Try a 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to increase tension around the ankle collar and secure the heel in the rear cup.

Visible debris buildup in the midsole clouds

Use a blunt plastic tool or a pressurized stream of water to gently dislodge rocks or mud from the open spaces in the outsole.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Industry-leading cushioning for reduced joint impact
  • Excellent stability for technical trail sections
  • Lightweight build prevents heavy-leggedness on long hikes
  • Neutral aesthetic suitable for varied outdoor settings

Cons

  • High-cushion platform may feel less responsive to ground feedback
  • Requires break-in period for optimal comfort
  • Less suited for extremely muddy or icy conditions compared to dedicated mountaineering boots

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Cloudhorizon 2 shoes last throughout the hiking season, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Sizing: These shoes are designed for a performance fit. Ensure you have roughly a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during long hikes.
  2. Break-in: Wear your shoes on shorter, local walks before attempting long-distance or multi-day expeditions to allow the upper materials to conform to your foot shape.
  3. Cleaning: Remove loose debris after every hike using a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and a mild soap solution. Never machine wash the shoes or place them in a tumble dryer, as heat can damage the bonding agents.
  4. Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources like radiators, which can warp the cushioning foam.
