On Running Cloudvista 2 - Lilac / Black - UK 9.5

The Cloudvista 2 is designed for mixed terrain, making it ideal for trails that vary from light gravel paths to more technical rocky sections, as well as urban environments. Its versatile grip performs well on both wet and dry surfaces.

The shoe features a durable, waterproof upper designed to offer resistance against splashes and light rain, helping to keep your feet dry. However, it may not be fully impervious to water in situations of deep submersion.

Helion™ superfoam provides a combination of soft cushioning for comfort and strong responsiveness for energy return. This helps absorb impact, protect your joints, and give you a springy feel that propels you forward, especially over longer distances.

The On Cloudvista 2 has a 6mm heel drop. This is a moderate drop that accommodates a wide range of running styles and foot strikes, promoting a natural and balanced feel.

Brush off loose dirt, then use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to clean. Air dry thoroughly at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat. Do not machine wash.

The Cloudvista 2 features a re-engineered design with a more pronounced rocker for smoother transitions and softer cushioning, along with an updated Missiongrip™ outsole for enhanced traction. The goal was to deliver even greater comfort and flow across every surface.

Yes, with its plush cushioning from Helion™ superfoam and CloudTec®, and its comfortable, breathable upper, the Cloudvista 2 is well-suited for long-distance trail running where comfort and consistent performance are key.

Ensure you're wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. Check your lacing for overly tight or loose spots. If persistent, consider re-evaluating your size or fit, as shoes that are too tight or too loose can cause friction. Break them in gradually.

Try a double knot or use a runner's knot (heel lock lacing) to secure the laces more effectively, especially on dynamic terrain. Ensure the laces are fully dry before tying.

Inspect the Missiongrip™ lugs for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any dirt, mud, or small stones that might be reducing grip. If the lugs are significantly worn, it might be time for new shoes.

Running shoe midsoles compress over time. While the Helion™ superfoam is designed for durability, consistent use will lead to natural wear. Consider the mileage on your shoes; most trail shoes last between 300-500 miles depending on terrain and runner weight. If mileage is high, new shoes are likely needed.

Often, this is due to moisture inside the shoe or between the insole and the footbed. Remove the insoles, clean and dry them and the shoe interior thoroughly. If the sound persists, it could be a manufacturing anomaly.
