FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious trail running?
The Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof is designed for versatility across roads, tracks, and light trails. While they offer waterproofing and good traction, for highly technical or extremely rugged mountain trails, dedicated trail running shoes with deeper lugs and reinforced uppers would be more appropriate.
What is the heel-to-toe drop (offset) of these shoes?
These shoes feature a 10mm heel-to-toe offset, which is a common drop for cushioned running shoes, providing a good balance for various foot strikes.
How does the 'CloudTec' cushioning system work?
CloudTec uses individual 'cloud' elements on the outsole that compress upon impact, absorbing both vertical and horizontal forces. They then firm up for a powerful push-off, offering a unique blend of soft landing and explosive take-off.
Can I machine wash my Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, compromise the waterproofing membrane, and affect the shoe's structural integrity. Always hand-clean them and air dry.
What does 'structured shoe' mean in this context?
A 'structured shoe' refers to footwear designed to provide additional support and stability, often for runners who exhibit mild to moderate overpronation (where the foot rolls inward excessively during the gait cycle). These shoes typically have features like a durable heel clip and reinforced uppers to guide the foot.
How often should I consider replacing these running shoes?
The lifespan of running shoes depends on individual usage, running style, and body weight, but generally, it's recommended to consider replacing them every 300-500 miles (approximately 480-800 kilometers) or every 6-12 months, whichever comes first. Pay attention to signs of wear in the outsole and midsole.
Troubleshooting
My feet still feel wet despite the waterproof claim.
Ensure your socks are not saturated before running. Check the shoe's upper for any visible damage or tears. Make sure laces are properly tightened to prevent water ingress from the ankle opening. Consider using waterproof gaiters for extreme conditions.
The shoes feel heavier than expected or cause fatigue.
The Cloudrunner 2 is a structured, cushioned shoe, which typically means it's not as lightweight as minimalist racers. Allow for a break-in period of a few runs to get accustomed to the support and cushioning. Ensure you have the correct size, as an ill-fitting shoe can feel more cumbersome.
Stones are still getting stuck in the outsole, despite the new design.
While the outsole is redesigned to reduce stone pick-up, running on very rocky or gravel-heavy terrain might still cause some small stones to lodge. Regularly inspect and gently remove any trapped debris to maintain traction and prevent damage to the outsole.
The cushioning feels less responsive over time.
Running shoes have a finite lifespan, typically 300-500 miles, after which cushioning properties degrade. If you've put significant mileage on them, it might be time for a replacement. Proper cleaning and drying can also help maintain material integrity.

Setup
- Lacing: Utilize the front lace-up fastening to secure the shoes. Ensure the laces are snug but not overtight, allowing for natural foot movement without slippage.
- Initial Wear: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your feet. This helps in breaking them in comfortably.
Compatibility
These shoes are highly compatible with a variety of running surfaces, including:
- Roads and Pavement: Excellent cushioning for hard surfaces.
- Tracks: Provides propulsion and stability for track workouts.
- Light Trails: The waterproofing and updated outsole make them suitable for well-maintained, non-technical trails.
Care
Maintaining your On Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof shoes will extend their lifespan and performance:
- Cleaning: After runs, especially in muddy or wet conditions, wipe the exterior of the shoes with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For tougher spots, a soft brush can be used.
- Drying: If the interior gets wet, remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture. Allow them to air dry at room temperature; avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials and waterproofing.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Washing: Do not machine wash. Specific care instructions are usually found on the product label. > Info needed: specific instructions for maintaining waterproofing and material integrity. Generally, hand-cleaning is recommended.
