Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes specifically designed for golf?
While the product title includes 'Golf Shoes', the detailed description highlights features like a Zero-Gravity CloudTec midsole and Speedboard, which are core technologies found in On Running's performance running trainers. They offer excellent comfort and waterproofing suitable for general wear and walking on the course, but serious golfers might find them lacking specialized golf-specific traction or stability compared to traditional golf shoes.
How does the waterproofing work?
The On Running Cloud 6 features a tight mesh waterproof upper, designed to repel water and keep your feet dry in wet conditions. This construction acts as a barrier against rain and puddles.
What is the benefit of the Zero-Gravity CloudTec midsole?
The Zero-Gravity CloudTec midsole provides superior cushioning, transforming impact into soft, comfortable landings. It's designed to reduce fatigue and enhance comfort over long periods, whether walking or engaging in light activity.
What does '8mm drop' mean?
The 8mm drop refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe. An 8mm drop provides a moderate heel-to-toe offset, which is a common preference in many running and walking shoes, offering a balanced feel and supporting a natural foot strike.
Can I use these shoes for running?
Yes, given the inclusion of CloudTec and Speedboard technologies, these shoes are well-suited for casual running, light training, or brisk walking. They offer cushioning and energy return that benefit these activities, especially in wet weather.
How do I maintain the waterproof quality?
Regularly clean the upper to prevent dirt from compromising the waterproof mesh. Allow shoes to air dry completely after use. While factory waterproofing is durable, you can use a waterproof spray specifically designed for synthetic footwear materials to refresh the protection over time, if needed.
Troubleshooting
My feet still get wet in rainy conditions.
Ensure the shoe's upper is clean and free from any punctures or significant wear that could compromise the waterproof mesh. For optimal performance over time, you may consider applying a footwear-specific water-repellent spray, though the factory waterproofing is designed to be effective. Check that water isn't entering from the ankle opening if used in very deep puddles.
The shoes feel less stable or grippy than expected on the golf course.
These shoes prioritize cushioning and general all-weather protection. For golf, if you require enhanced lateral stability or aggressive traction for powerful swings, you might need shoes with specific golf cleat configurations. Adjusting your stance or swing mechanics can also help mitigate slippage if traction is a minor concern. For general use, the rubber sole should provide adequate grip.
The fit feels too loose around the ankle despite proper lacing.
The Cloud 6 features a wider opening for comfort. Try experimenting with different lacing techniques, such as a runner's loop, to create a more secure fit around the ankle. Ensure you have the correct shoe size, as an oversized shoe can also contribute to a loose feeling.
