On Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof - Black - 7 UK

The shoe features a 10mm offset, which is the difference in height between the heel and forefoot, often preferred for a balanced running experience.

Gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and wipe the upper. Avoid machine washing, harsh chemicals, or submerging the entire shoe. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.

While the redesigned outsole provides excellent traction and prevents stone collection, these shoes are primarily designed for road running and light trails. For aggressive or technical trail running, you might consider shoes specifically designed with deeper lugs and reinforced uppers for rugged terrain.

Helion superfoam is On's advanced cushioning technology, providing a soft, responsive feel and high energy return. CloudTech cushioning consists of individual 'clouds' that compress and adapt to your stride, offering a luxurious, lightweight, and energized experience by absorbing impact horizontally and vertically.

The high-performance waterproof membrane keeps water out but can inherently reduce the shoe's breathability compared to non-waterproof models. This is a trade-off for staying dry in wet conditions. For optimal comfort in warmer, dry weather, you might prefer a non-waterproof running shoe.

The Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof utilizes an upper crafted from 100% recycled polyester, and the shoe contains 30% total recycled content, demonstrating On's commitment to reducing environmental impact.

These shoes are best suited for daily training, longer runs, and runs in wet or unpredictable weather conditions. Their comfort, support, and waterproofing make them a reliable choice for runners seeking a versatile and protected experience.

While the shoes are waterproof, very deep puddles or water ingress from the ankle opening can still lead to wet feet. Ensure socks aren't wicking water in from above the shoe line. Check the upper for any physical damage or tears to the waterproof membrane that might compromise its integrity. Clean the membrane regularly as clogged pores can reduce effectiveness.

Waterproof membranes inherently reduce breathability compared to non-waterproof materials. This is normal. If you find them too warm, consider moisture-wicking socks to manage sweat, or reserve these shoes for cooler or wet weather conditions.

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Lacing techniques can significantly impact comfort; try adjusting the tightness or using different lacing patterns (e.g., skip an eyelet) to relieve pressure points. Always wear appropriate running socks that prevent friction. Allow a short break-in period for the shoes to conform to your feet.

The redesigned outsole significantly reduces stone collection, but it may not eliminate it entirely depending on the size and type of debris. After your run, quickly inspect the outsole and manually remove any stubborn stones to maintain optimal traction and prevent damage.
