Product Information

Full details

The On Cloudvista 2 trail running shoe is engineered for runners who demand versatility and comfort across mixed terrain, from forest paths to rocky ridgelines. Its primary benefit lies in providing a smoother, faster, and more cushioned trail running experience thanks to re-engineered components. However, its 'go-anywhere' versatility means that while excellent for mixed terrain, it might not offer the extreme technical protection or stiffness preferred by some for highly aggressive, purely rocky mountain ascents.

FAQs

What type of terrain are the On Cloudvista 2 best suited for?

The Cloudvista 2 is ideal for mixed terrain trail running, including forest paths, gravel trails, moderate singletrack, and light rocky sections. Its design provides a balance of cushioning for comfort and grip for varied surfaces.

How do I clean my Cloudvista 2 shoes?

Remove loose dirt with a brush or by rinsing with cold water. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and water. Always air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

What is the heel drop of these shoes?

The On Cloudvista 2 features a 6mm heel drop, which offers a balanced feel and encourages a natural foot strike.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The breathable mesh upper is designed for ventilation and comfort in dry to moderately damp conditions. While the outsole performs well in wet environments, the upper is not specifically waterproof and will not prevent water intrusion in heavy rain or deep puddles.

How much do the On Cloudvista 2 weigh?

These shoes weigh approximately 305g, designed to be lightweight for agile and comfortable trail running.

What does the 'Speedboard' do?

The integrated Speedboard provides stability and acts as a spring, delivering powerful rebound and propulsion, helping to create a smoother, faster running sensation on the trails.

What is the recommended lifespan for these shoes?

The typical lifespan for running shoes, including the Cloudvista 2, is generally between 300-500 miles, depending on individual running style, body weight, and terrain. Monitor the cushioning and outsole for signs of degradation.

Troubleshooting

Foot discomfort or rubbing during runs.

Check your lacing technique to ensure a secure but not overly tight fit. Experiment with different lacing patterns. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks to prevent friction. If issues persist, verify shoe size and width.

Reduced grip on specific surfaces.

Inspect the Missiongrip outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the lugs thoroughly. While excellent for mixed terrain, extremely muddy or slick conditions can challenge any shoe's grip; adjust your pace and stride accordingly.

Shoes feel heavy or hot after extended use.

The breathable mesh upper is designed to ventilate. Ensure your socks are also breathable and wicking. If running in very hot or humid conditions, consider shorter runs or hydrating more frequently. Verify weight; at 305g, they are designed to be lightweight.

Lack of 'spring' or responsiveness over time.

Running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles. Over time, the Helion Superfoam midsole and Speedboard can lose their responsiveness. If your shoes are nearing the end of their recommended mileage, consider replacement. Ensure proper cleaning and storage to maximize their lifespan.

Laces frequently come undone.

Ensure you are using a double knot technique. Laces can sometimes stretch slightly over time. If they are consistently coming undone, consider replacing them with new, more grippy running laces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Versatility: Performs well on a wide range of mixed terrains, making it a true 'go-anywhere' shoe.
  • Superior Cushioning: Softer Helion Superfoam provides a very comfortable ride, ideal for longer distances.
  • Enhanced Flow: The re-engineered rocker and Speedboard work together to create a smooth, efficient running sensation.
  • Reliable Grip: Missiongrip outsole offers confident traction on diverse surfaces.
  • Breathable Comfort: Mesh upper ensures feet remain cool and comfortable.

Cons

  • Moderate Protection: While versatile, it may not offer the most aggressive protection for extremely technical or sharp rocky terrain compared to specialized mountain shoes.
  • Info needed: Break-in Period: User experiences may vary regarding the initial feel and flexibility of the shoe.
  • Specific Use Case: Primarily designed for trail running; while comfortable, it might be overkill or less efficient for pure road running.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your On Cloudvista 2 shoes require minimal setup. Simply lace them up to a comfortable fit, ensuring they are snug but not too tight. Take a short walk or light jog to assess the fit and feel before embarking on longer runs. Remember that proper lacing can significantly impact comfort and performance.

Compatibility

  • Terrain: Ideal for mixed terrain, including forest paths, gravel trails, light singletrack, and moderate rocky sections. Its design balances cushioning for comfort with grip for traction.
  • Running Style: Suitable for a wide range of runners, particularly those seeking a versatile shoe for daily trail runs and longer efforts.
  • Weather: The breathable mesh upper performs best in dry to moderately damp conditions. While the outsole offers excellent grip on wet surfaces, the upper is not designed for full waterproofing in heavy rain or deep puddles.

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity and performance of your Cloudvista 2 shoes:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, especially in muddy conditions, remove excess dirt by gently brushing or rinsing the shoes with cold water. Avoid hot water, which can degrade materials.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the midsole and upper materials.
  3. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Remove insoles occasionally to air them out.
  4. Washing: For deeper cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing, which can be too harsh and compromise the shoe's structure.
  5. Inspection: Regularly check the outsole for wear and tear, and ensure laces are in good condition. Replace if necessary to maintain optimal performance and safety.
