FAQs
What is CloudTec Phase technology?
CloudTec Phase is an advanced cushioning system unique to On shoes. It is designed to deliver seamless weight transfer from heel to toe, providing a smooth, comfortable, and highly adaptive ride specifically optimized for trekking and hiking.
How does the Missiongrip outsole benefit me?
The Missiongrip rubber outsole is engineered to provide superior traction and stability on diverse terrains. Its multi-directional lug pattern ensures a secure footing on both dry and wet surfaces, giving you confidence on challenging trails.
Are the On Cloudhorizon shoes waterproof?
The product description highlights its optimized design for trekking and grip on wet surfaces, indicating performance in diverse conditions. While it offers reliability in damp environments, specific waterproofing ratings or membranes are not detailed in the core product information. For explicit waterproofing, consult the full product specifications or retailer details.
What activities are these shoes best suited for?
The Cloudhorizon is specifically optimized for trekking, hiking, and long-distance trail walking. It provides the necessary support, cushioning, and grip for varied trail conditions, making it an excellent choice for outdoor enthusiasts.
Can I use these shoes for running?
While On is known for running shoes, the Cloudhorizon is primarily designed and optimized for trekking and hiking. Its construction focuses on stability, support, and long-distance comfort on varied terrain rather than the specific biomechanics of running. For dedicated running, particularly on trails, On offers other specialized models.
How should I clean my Cloudhorizon shoes?
Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn mud or stains, gently wipe with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Always air dry your shoes completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
How do I choose the correct size?
It is recommended to try on the Cloudhorizon with the type of socks you intend to wear for trekking. Ensure your toes have a small amount of room to move, especially at the front, to prevent discomfort on downhill sections. Sizing can sometimes vary slightly by brand, so an in-person fitting is ideal.
Troubleshooting
Foot Discomfort or Blisters
Ensure proper sizing and lacing. Allow for a break-in period on shorter walks before longer treks. Always wear appropriate, moisture-wicking hiking socks.
Reduced Grip on Trails
Clean the Missiongrip outsole regularly to remove accumulated dirt, mud, or debris that might reduce traction. Inspect the tread for excessive wear, which might indicate it's time for a replacement.
Shoes Develop Odor
Allow shoes to air out completely after each use, removing the insoles for faster drying. Consider using odor-absorbing inserts or a shoe deodorizer. Do not store them in enclosed spaces when damp.
Laces Come Undone Frequently
Try different lacing techniques, such as a double knot or a surgeon's knot, to enhance security. Ensure laces are not worn or frayed.
Toes Jamming on Downhills
Adjust your lacing to secure the midfoot more firmly, preventing your foot from sliding forward. Ensure there is adequate space in the toe box when trying them on.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your On Cloudhorizon shoes involves proper setup, understanding their compatibility, and routine care.
Setup & Fitting
- Sizing: Ensure you have the correct size. Trekking shoes typically require a bit more room in the toe box than casual shoes to prevent discomfort on downhills. Try them on with the type of socks you'll wear for trekking.
- Lacing: Use a lacing technique that secures your foot without creating pressure points. Experiment with different patterns, such as a surgeon's knot mid-foot, to customize fit and prevent heel slip or toe jamming.
- Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, it's advisable to break in your Cloudhorizon shoes on shorter walks before embarking on a long trek. This allows the shoes to mold to your feet and reduces the risk of blisters.
Compatibility
- Activities: Best suited for hiking, trekking, and long-distance trail walking. Not designed for high-intensity trail running or highly technical mountaineering.
- Socks: Pair with moisture-wicking hiking socks (wool or synthetic) to prevent blisters and manage moisture effectively. Avoid cotton socks, which retain moisture.
- Terrain: Optimized for varied terrains, including dirt trails, gravel paths, rocky sections, and light mud. Performs well in both dry and wet conditions.
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush). For tougher grime, wipe the shoes with a damp cloth using a small amount of mild soap.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Removing insoles can speed up the drying process and prevent odors.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for prolonged periods, as this can degrade materials.
- Outsole Check: Regularly inspect the Missiongrip outsole for embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the lugs to maintain optimal traction.
