FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for trail running?

Yes, the On Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof is designed for versatility across roads, tracks, and trails. Its upgraded outsole provides durable traction and is designed to prevent stone collection, making it suitable for light to moderate trail running.

How do I clean my Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof shoes?

Refer to the product label for specific instructions. Generally, wipe off dirt with a damp cloth or soft brush. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid machine washing or using direct heat, as this can damage the waterproof membrane and materials.

What does 'Helion™ super foam' do?

Helion™ super foam is an advanced cushioning technology that provides a softer feel, higher energy return, and a luxurious, energized sensation underfoot. It works with the CloudTec® sole for exceptional comfort and support.

Are these shoes environmentally friendly?

Yes, the Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof emphasizes sustainability. The entire upper is made from 100% recycled polyester, contributing to a total of 30% recycled content in the shoe.

What is the heel-to-toe drop (offset) of these shoes?

The On Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof has a 10mm offset, providing a moderate heel-to-toe drop that is common in many daily trainers and suits a wide range of runners.

Are these good for runners who need extra support or have flat feet?

Yes, the Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof is described as On's 'most cushioned structured shoe'. With its durable heel clip and added reinforcements, it offers enhanced stability, making it a good option for runners who require additional support or moderate pronation control.

Can I use these shoes for speed work or racing?

While highly cushioned and responsive, the Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof is primarily designed as a comfortable and supportive daily trainer for longer runs and varied conditions. Its 320g weight might make it less ideal for dedicated speed work or racing where lighter, more minimalist shoes are often preferred.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too warm or sweaty during runs.

While breathable, waterproof shoes can retain more heat. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. Also, check that your laces aren't overtightened, which can restrict air circulation.

My feet still get wet in very heavy rain.

The high-performance waterproof membrane is designed to repel water. However, extreme conditions or water entering from the top (e.g., through the ankle opening) can still lead to wetness. Consider waterproof running gaiters for exceptionally wet or deep puddle conditions.

The cushioning feels less responsive over time.

Running shoe cushioning naturally compresses over many miles. While Helion™ super foam is durable, its responsiveness will gradually decrease. Monitor your mileage; most running shoes have a lifespan of 300-500 miles depending on usage and runner weight.

Small stones or debris are still getting caught in the outsole.

The upgraded outsole is designed to minimize stone collection. If it's still occurring, it might be due to particularly jagged terrain or specific conditions. Regularly inspect and clean the outsole after runs to maintain its integrity and performance.

Shoes feel heavy during my run.

The On Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof is a structured, highly cushioned shoe designed for comfort and support, which contributes to its 320g weight. If you're accustomed to lighter, more minimalist shoes, this weight difference might be noticeable. Focus on its benefits for protection, cushioning, and stability on longer runs and in varied conditions.

  • Enhanced stability suitable for runners needing extra support.
  • Made with significant recycled materials, promoting sustainability.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Setting up your On Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof shoes is straightforward:

  1. Lacing: Utilize the front lace-up fastening to secure the shoe comfortably. Adjust the laces to achieve a snug but not overly tight fit, allowing your foot to flex naturally. The plusher tongue is designed to enhance comfort as you lace up.
  2. Initial Wear: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to adapt to your foot shape. This will also help you determine the optimal lacing tension for your stride.

Compatibility

The Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof shoes are highly versatile and compatible with various running needs:

  • Running Surfaces: Excellent for roads, tracks, and light trails, thanks to their robust cushioning and upgraded outsole.
  • Runner Profile: Ideal for daily training, long-distance runs, and runners who prioritize comfort, support, and stability. They are particularly beneficial for those who need a structured shoe or protection in wet conditions.
  • Weather Conditions: Specifically designed for wet weather, making them suitable for year-round running, rain or shine.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your waterproof running shoes:

  • Cleaning: Refer to the product label for specific care instructions. Generally, wipe off mud and dirt with a damp cloth or soft brush. Avoid using harsh detergents, as they can compromise the waterproof membrane.
  • 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 materials and adhesives, potentially affecting the waterproofing and overall structure.
  • Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odors and material degradation.
  • Maintenance: Regularly check the laces and outsole for wear. The upgraded outsole is designed to prevent stone collection, but a quick check after trail runs is always recommended.
