FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash the On Cloudvista 2 Waterproof shoes. Machine washing can damage the waterproof membrane and other materials. Instead, clean them by hand as described in the care instructions.

What type of cushioning does the Helion Superfoam provide?

The Helion Superfoam offers ultra-soft, responsive cushioning. This design aims to provide a comfortable landing and an energetic push-off, enhancing overall comfort and performance during trail runs.

Can I use these for hiking in addition to running?

Yes, due to their waterproof design, robust traction, and comfortable cushioning, the On Cloudvista 2 Waterproof shoes are well-suited for light to moderate hiking trails as well as running.

How do I know if the waterproofing is still effective?

An effective waterproof upper will cause water to bead up and roll off the material. If water starts to soak into the fabric, it might be a sign that the waterproofing needs cleaning and potentially re-treatment with a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) product.

Are there different width options available?

Info needed: Specific width options (e.g., wide or narrow) are not detailed in the product information; the shoes are typically offered in a standard width.

What is the recommended terrain for these shoes?

These shoes are best suited for varied trail conditions, including packed dirt, gravel, forest paths, and light to moderately rocky terrain. They perform particularly well in wet or damp environments.

Do these shoes need to be 'broken in'?

The On Cloudvista 2 Waterproof shoes are designed for comfort right out of the box. However, it's always a good practice to wear them for a few shorter activities before embarking on a long run to ensure optimal fit and feel.

Troubleshooting

Laces frequently come untied during runs.

Ensure laces are double-knotted for extra security. Check lace tension for an optimal balance between snugness and comfort, avoiding overly loose or tight lacing.

Sensation of dampness inside the shoe despite waterproofing.

Verify that water is not entering from the top (e.g., splashing over the collar from deep puddles, or through socks absorbing water from outside the shoe). For extremely wet or deep conditions, consider wearing trail gaiters.

Reduced grip on certain trail surfaces.

Regularly clean the rubber outsole to remove embedded dirt, mud, or debris that can compromise traction. Evaluate the specific terrain; while providing tough traction, no shoe offers universal grip on all extremely slick or technical surfaces.

Shoes feel less comfortable or supportive after extended use.

Check the condition of the insole; it may need to be replaced if worn down. Ensure proper lacing for consistent support. Assess the overall mileage on the shoes, as cushioning and support naturally degrade over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

  1. Lacing: Before your first run, ensure the laces are threaded correctly and evenly. Cinch them securely, but not too tightly, to achieve a comfortable, locked-in fit without excessive pressure points. A double knot can prevent laces from coming undone during activity.
  2. Initial Wear: While generally comfortable out of the box, it's advisable to wear the shoes for a few shorter walks or runs to allow them to conform to your foot shape.

Compatibility

  • Terrain: Primarily designed for trail running, suitable for a variety of surfaces including packed dirt, gravel, light rocky trails, and grassy paths. They perform well in wet or damp conditions thanks to their waterproofing.
  • Activity: Ideal for trail running, light hiking, and outdoor walks where weather protection and cushioning are beneficial.
  • Weather: Best suited for cool to mild, wet conditions. The waterproof membrane is effective against rain and puddles.

Care

  1. Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy conditions, gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, wipe the upper and outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap (avoid harsh detergents). Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials and adhesives. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
  3. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are fully dry before storing to prevent odor and mildew.
  4. Waterproofing Maintenance: While factory-treated, prolonged heavy use in wet conditions can eventually impact waterproofing effectiveness. Periodically check if water still beads on the surface. If not, consider a re-waterproofing spray suitable for textile and synthetic footwear (follow product instructions).
