Product Information
Full details
The ON RUNNING Cloudvista 2 is engineered for trail runners who prioritize comfort and versatility across mixed terrain. Its key win lies in the combination of softer cushioning, a higher stack height, and a redesigned Speedboard, providing enhanced rebound and a plush feel for diverse trail conditions. While highly adaptable, its increased cushioning might offer slightly less ground feel compared to more minimalist trail shoes, which could be a consideration for highly technical, high-feedback trails.

FAQs
What kind of terrain is the Cloudvista 2 best suited for?
The Cloudvista 2 is designed for mixed terrain, including dirt paths, gravel roads, packed trails, and light technical sections. Its versatility makes it great for runs that incorporate varied surfaces.
How does the 'Speedboard' enhance my running experience?
The redesigned dual-tip Speedboard provides increased rebound and energy return. This means it helps propel you forward, offering a more responsive feel and potentially reducing fatigue, especially during uphill efforts.
Is the Cloudvista 2 good for long-distance trail running?
Yes, with its softer cushioning and higher stack height, the Cloudvista 2 is well-suited for long-distance trail running, providing enhanced comfort and impact absorption over extended periods.
What is the benefit of a 'higher stack height'?
A higher stack height means there is more cushioning material between your foot and the ground. This provides increased comfort, better impact absorption, and a greater sense of protection from uneven terrain elements like rocks and roots.
How do I choose the correct size for the Cloudvista 2?
For running shoes, it's generally recommended to have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Consult the ON RUNNING size chart if available, and consider trying them on, preferably at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen.
Can I use these shoes for road running as well?
While primarily designed for trails, the Cloudvista 2's cushioning and versatility may allow for short segments of road running. However, for dedicated road running, a shoe specifically designed for asphalt would be more optimal in terms of outsole durability and ride.
What does 'round toe type' mean for comfort?
A round toe type provides a more natural and spacious environment for your toes, allowing them to splay more freely. This can enhance comfort, reduce pressure points, and help prevent issues like 'black toenails' on long runs or descents.
Troubleshooting
Laces frequently come undone during runs.
Ensure you are using a secure knot, such as a double knot or surgeon's knot. You can also experiment with different lacing patterns that provide more friction.
Foot feels too loose or too tight in the shoe.
Adjust the lacing. If too loose, pull laces tighter across the midfoot. If too tight, try loosening laces slightly, especially around areas of pressure. Consider different sock thicknesses. If persistent, re-check sizing.
Slight discomfort on very technical rocky sections.
While designed for mixed terrain, very aggressive technical trails may feel different due to the shoe's softer cushioning and higher stack. Focus on foot placement and consider the terrain's limits for this shoe's design.
Shoes feel heavy or sluggish after a wet run.
Allow shoes to air dry completely after use. Remove insoles and stuff with newspaper to absorb moisture, then air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat.
Visible dirt or mud stains, especially on the 'Chai Dune' color.
Gently brush off dry dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn stains, spot clean with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth or brush. Rinse with clean water and air dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your Cloudvista 2 shoes is straightforward:
- Lacing: Unlace the shoes to loosen them completely.
- Insert Foot: Slide your foot into the shoe, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back.
- Tighten Laces: Starting from the bottom eyelets, gradually tighten the laces to achieve a snug, secure fit across the midfoot.
- Knot: Tie a secure knot (e.g., a double knot) to prevent laces from coming undone during your run.
*Tip*: Experiment with lacing techniques to find what provides the best comfort and security for your foot shape and running style. Avoid overtightening, which can cause pressure points.

Care
> Info needed: Specific care instructions for the ON RUNNING Cloudvista 2 are not provided.
