On Cloudvista 2 Waterproof - Black - UK 11

While technically possible, the Cloudvista 2 Waterproof shoes are specifically designed and optimized for trail running. Features like the Missiongrip outsole and enhanced cushioning are tailored for uneven, natural terrain. For optimal performance and durability on pavement, a dedicated road running shoe is recommended.

Allow any mud to dry completely, then gently brush it off with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush). For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and a small amount of mild soap with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.

The Speedboard in the Cloudvista 2 is a two-pronged plate within the sole designed to provide extra rebound and increased responsiveness. It helps to distribute pressure and aid in forward propulsion, giving you a more energetic and efficient stride on varied trail surfaces.

On's waterproof technology aims to balance protection with breathability. While any waterproof membrane will naturally be less breathable than a non-waterproof mesh, the Cloudvista 2 is designed to manage moisture and maintain comfort in wet conditions without excessive heat build-up. Always wear appropriate, moisture-wicking socks for best results.

The Cloudvista 2 Waterproof is designed for versatility on varying trail terrains. This includes groomed trails, moderate technical paths, gravel roads, and mixed-surface routes. The Missiongrip outsole ensures excellent traction on loose dirt, mud, and rocky sections.

Remove the insoles and open up the lacing. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature in a well-ventilated area. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators, hair dryers, or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and waterproof membrane.

First, ensure water isn't entering over the top of the shoe (e.g., from deep puddles or rain running down your leg). Check for any visible damage to the waterproof membrane on the upper. Ensure proper drying after each use; persistent dampness can be mistaken for leaks. If the issue persists and no external entry is found, contact customer support.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks (moisture-wicking, seamless). Verify that the shoes are laced correctly, providing a snug fit without being too tight. If they are new, allow for a brief break-in period. If discomfort continues, check your size; while true-to-size, individual foot shapes can vary.

The Missiongrip outsole is designed for various uneven grounds. If grip is an issue, inspect the outsole for wear, excessive mud build-up, or embedded debris that might be reducing traction. Ensure the terrain you are on is within the shoe's intended use (extreme ice or highly technical climbing may require specialized gear).

Proper drying after each use is crucial. Remove the insoles and allow the shoes to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. You can also use shoe deodorizers or natural remedies like baking soda in an old sock placed inside the shoe overnight. Avoid storing damp shoes in enclosed spaces.

Running shoes have a finite lifespan, and cushioning materials naturally compress and lose some responsiveness with extensive use and mileage. While not a defect, if they are well-used, it might be an indication that they are reaching the end of their functional life for optimal performance.
