FAQs

What type of terrain is this shoe best for?

The Cloudhorizon is specifically designed for moderate terrain. This includes city trails, park paths, well-maintained hiking trails, and light to moderate mountain paths. It excels in providing comfort and traction on these surfaces.

How do I clean my Cloudhorizon shoes?

Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with mild soap (like dish soap) and cold water. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat.

What is CloudTec Phase® cushioning?

CloudTec Phase® is ON's innovative cushioning technology engineered to deliver a super soft and smooth ride. It uses interconnected 'cloud' elements that compress and adapt to your foot strike, providing continuous comfort and energy return.

What is Missiongrip™?

Missiongrip™ is a durable rubber compound used in the outsole, designed to provide reliable traction and grip on diverse surfaces found on hiking trails, ensuring stability and confidence with every step.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Cloudhorizon features a breathable mesh upper, which provides excellent ventilation for comfort but is not designed to be fully waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are not intended for heavy rain, deep puddles, or submersion.

What is the heel drop of these shoes?

These shoes have a 6mm heel drop, which is a moderate drop designed to promote a natural foot posture and stride, offering a balanced feel between forefoot and heel cushioning.

Are they suitable for long distances?

Yes, with their plush CloudTec Phase® cushioning, supportive midsole, and lightweight design, the Cloudhorizon is built to comfortably support you on longer hikes and walks across moderate distances and terrains.

Troubleshooting

Foot discomfort or rubbing during hikes

Ensure your laces are tied correctly – not too tight, not too loose. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find what best suits your foot shape. Try wearing different thicknesses of hiking socks. Also, ensure you break in new shoes on shorter walks before attempting longer hikes.

Slipping on wet or loose surfaces

While Missiongrip™ offers reliable traction on moderate terrain, no shoe is slip-proof on all surfaces. Be cautious on extremely wet, muddy, icy, or very loose gravel paths. Ensure your outsoles are clean of caked-on mud or debris that could reduce grip.

Shoes feel heavy or hot after extended wear

The Cloudhorizon is designed to be lightweight and breathable. If they feel hot, check your sock material; breathable, moisture-wicking socks are recommended. Ensure the laces aren't overly tight, restricting circulation. Take short breaks to air out your feet on longer hikes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Cloudhorizon shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply lace them up to a comfortable fit. Ensure the laces are snug enough to secure your foot without creating pressure points. A properly laced shoe will prevent your foot from sliding inside, minimizing friction and potential blisters.

Compatibility

The Cloudhorizon is specifically designed for moderate terrain. This includes:

  • City trails and urban exploration
  • Park paths and nature walks
  • Well-maintained hiking trails
  • Light to moderate mountain paths

It is not intended for highly technical, rugged, or extreme off-trail conditions where maximum ankle support or specialized grip for slippery rocks/ice might be required. Its breathable design also means it's best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions, rather than heavy rain or deep puddles.

Care

Proper care extends the life and performance of your Cloudhorizon shoes:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, gently brush off any loose dirt, mud, or debris from the upper and outsole using a soft brush or damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, hand wash the shoes with mild soap (like dish soap) and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  2. Drying: Always air dry your shoes completely at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers). Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  3. Storage: Store your Cloudhorizon shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can degrade materials over time.
  4. Inspection: Regularly inspect the outsole for signs of excessive wear and the upper for any damage. Addressing minor issues early can prevent larger problems.
