FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
While you can run short distances on roads, these shoes are specifically designed for trail running. The outsole's grip pattern and cushioning are optimized for uneven, soft, and varied off-road surfaces, making them less efficient and potentially less durable for extensive road use.
How do I clean my On Cloudvista Waterproof shoes?
Gently brush off loose dirt once dry. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush, lukewarm water, and a mild soap. Avoid machine washing, harsh detergents, or direct heat sources when drying, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and materials. Always air dry.
What is the expected lifespan of the waterproofing?
The waterproof membrane is durable and designed to last the life of the shoe under normal use. However, repeated exposure to harsh chemicals, punctures, or improper care can compromise it. The outer DWR coating may need occasional reapplication to maintain water repellency.
Do On Cloudvista Waterproof shoes run true to size?
Most users find On shoes to run true to size. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on with your typical running socks. If unsure, consult a size guide or consider trying a half-size up if you prefer more room for toe splay on descents.
Can I use these shoes for hiking?
Absolutely! The enhanced cushioning, reliable traction, and waterproof protection make the Cloudvista Waterproof an excellent choice for light to moderate hiking on trails, especially in wet or unpredictable conditions. They offer comfort and support for longer treks.
What is the 'Speedboard®' and how does it benefit me?
The Speedboard® is a liquid-injected plate located between the midsole and the upper. In the Cloudvista Waterproof, the redesigned dual-tip Speedboard® provides increased rebound and a responsive feel, converting impact energy into forward propulsion for a more dynamic and efficient stride on the trails.
Troubleshooting
My feet still get wet, even though the shoes are waterproof.
Check if water is entering from over the top of the shoe (e.g., from deep puddles or splashes). Consider using gaiters to prevent water from entering via the ankle opening. Also, ensure the waterproof membrane hasn't been punctured by sharp objects.
The shoes feel too stiff or uncomfortable during my first few runs.
All new shoes require a short break-in period. Wear them for a few shorter, easier runs to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot. If discomfort persists, re-evaluate the sizing.
I'm experiencing heel slippage or an insecure fit.
Experiment with different lacing techniques. A 'runner's knot' or lacing through the top eyelet (if available) can often create a more secure fit around the ankle and heel. Ensure laces are snug, but not overtightened.
The traction feels less effective on certain slippery surfaces.
While the Missiongrip™ outsole offers excellent traction, no shoe is immune to all extreme conditions (e.g., black ice, very slick moss). Adjust your stride and pace accordingly. Regularly clean the outsole to prevent mud buildup, which can reduce grip.
The shoes are developing an unpleasant odor.
Ensure you are thoroughly air-drying your shoes after every run, removing the insoles for better airflow. You can also use odor-absorbing inserts or a mild deodorizing spray designed for footwear. Avoid storing wet shoes in confined spaces.
Pros and Cons

- Superior comfort from enhanced cushioning, ideal for longer runs.
- Reliable and sticky traction on diverse wet and dry trail surfaces.
- Responsive feel aids in energetic and efficient running.
- Durable construction built to withstand challenging outdoor environments.
Cons
- May feel less agile or 'grounded' for highly technical, fast-paced trail running due to softer cushioning.
- Breathability might be slightly reduced compared to non-waterproof models in very warm, dry conditions.
- Info needed: [Specific shoe weight, which might be slightly heavier than non-waterproof versions]
- Not optimized for extended road running due to specialized trail outsole and cushioning.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Initial Fit: Try on the shoes with your preferred running socks. Ensure a snug fit in the heel, room to wiggle your toes, and no pressure points.
- Lacing: Utilize the lacing system to secure your foot without over-tightening. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you experience pressure points or heel slippage. A 'runner's knot' can help secure the ankle.
- Break-In: While comfortable out of the box, allow for a few shorter runs to fully break in the shoes before tackling longer distances or challenging terrain. This helps the shoe conform to your foot.
Compatibility
- Best Use: Ideal for trail running, light hiking, and walking on mixed terrain including dirt paths, gravel, mud, and moderate technical trails.
- Conditions: Excellent for wet, damp, or unpredictable weather thanks to their waterproof membrane. Suitable for cool to mild temperatures.
- Not Ideal For: Highly technical, extreme mountaineering routes, or dedicated high-speed road running.
Care
- Cleaning: After muddy runs, allow the shoes to dry slightly, then gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush and lukewarm water with a mild soap. Do not machine wash.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes. Remove insoles and loosen laces for better airflow. Avoid direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), as this can damage the waterproof membrane and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are fully dry before storing to prevent odor and mildew.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: While waterproof, periodic treatment with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray designed for breathable membranes can help maintain the outer fabric's water repellency over time. Info needed: [Specific recommendation for DWR product or frequency].
