FAQs

What type of terrain is the On Cloudvista 2 best suited for?

The Cloudvista 2 is best suited for mixed terrain, including light gravel paths, dirt roads, forest trails, and moderate rocky sections. It offers a balanced performance for everyday trail running.

How does the 'Speedboard' work in these shoes?

The redesigned dual-tip Speedboard is a plate embedded in the midsole that works to convert the energy from your foot striking the ground into forward propulsion, providing a springy, responsive feel and helping to optimize your stride.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The On Cloudvista 2 is not explicitly waterproof. While the upper materials offer some resistance to light splashes and dew, they are not designed to keep your feet dry in heavy rain or when submerged in water. For wet conditions, consider waterproof trail running socks or shoes specifically designed with a waterproof membrane.

What's the difference between the Cloudvista 2 and the original Cloudvista?

The Cloudvista 2 features softer cushioning, a slightly higher stack height for enhanced comfort and protection, and a newly redesigned dual-tip Speedboard for improved rebound and a more dynamic ride.

How do I clean my On Cloudvista 2 shoes?

To clean your shoes, first remove any loose dirt. Hand wash them using mild soap (e.g., dish soap) and cold water. Gently scrub with a soft brush or cloth. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Air dry them away from direct sunlight or heat, stuffing them with newspaper to help absorb moisture and maintain shape.

Is there a recommended break-in period for these shoes?

While the Cloudvista 2 offers immediate comfort, it's always a good practice to wear them for shorter walks or easy runs for the first few outings. This allows the shoes to fully adapt to your foot shape and running style.

Troubleshooting

Foot discomfort or rubbing during runs.

Check your lacing for overly tight or loose spots; experiment with different lacing patterns. Ensure you're wearing appropriate, moisture-wicking running socks. Allow for a sufficient break-in period for the shoe to adapt to your foot.

Reduced grip on specific trail sections.

Reassess if the terrain is suitable for the Cloudvista 2. While versatile, it's not designed for extremely technical or very muddy conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean of compacted mud or debris. Consider alternative footwear for more aggressive terrain.

Shoes feel less responsive or cushioned over time.

Running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles depending on usage and runner weight. Track your mileage and consider if it's time for a replacement. Over time, cushioning materials compress and the Speedboard's rebound may diminish.

Laces come undone frequently.

Ensure you are tying your laces securely, possibly using a double knot or a 'surgeon's knot' for extra security. Some runners also find a 'runner's knot' (heel-lock lacing) prevents movement and keeps laces secure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

  1. Lacing: Experiment with different lacing techniques to find the most secure and comfortable fit for your foot shape. A runner's knot can help prevent heel slip. Ensure laces are snug but not overly tight to avoid pressure points.
  2. Break-In Period: While the Cloudvista 2 is comfortable out of the box, it's recommended to wear them for shorter walks or easy runs initially. This allows the shoe to mold to your foot and for you to adapt to its feel.

Compatibility

  • Terrain: Best suited for mixed terrain, including gravel paths, dirt roads, forest trails, and moderate rocky sections. Less ideal for highly technical, extremely muddy, or very aggressive mountain trails.
  • Socks: Pair with performance running socks that wick moisture away from your feet to prevent blisters and enhance comfort.
  • Foot Type: Generally suitable for a wide range of foot types due to its balanced cushioning and versatile design. Info needed: [Specific recommendations for arch types if available].

Care & Maintenance

  • Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and debris from the outsole and upper using a soft brush or cloth. For a deeper clean, hand wash with mild soap (like dish soap) and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or hot water, as these can damage materials.
  • Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources (e.g., radiators, dryers). Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  • Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for extended periods.
  • Regular Inspection: Periodically check the outsole for wear, the upper for tears, and the cushioning for compression. This helps determine when they might need replacement for optimal performance and safety.
