On Cloudrock Low WP - Black - UK 10

Yes, these boots feature a dedicated waterproof membrane designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions, such as rain, puddles, and stream crossings. For optimal protection, ensure the boot's collar is properly sealed against your leg or covered by gaiters.

Brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn grime, use lukewarm water and a mild soap, gently scrubbing the affected areas. Rinse thoroughly and allow the boots to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or dry.

The On Cloudrock Low WP is designed for agility and support on mixed terrain, including dirt trails, gravel paths, rocky sections, and moderate ascents and descents. Its grip and cushioning make it ideal for varied hiking environments.

While On boots are known for out-of-the-box comfort, it's always recommended to wear them on a few shorter walks or around the house before your first long hike. This helps the materials conform to your unique foot shape and ensures maximum comfort.

While the Cloudrock Low WP offers running shoe-like cushioning and agility, it is primarily designed as a hiking boot. For dedicated trail running, On offers specific trail running shoe models that are lighter and optimized for running mechanics.

It's generally recommended to try on hiking boots with the type of socks you plan to wear. Your toes should not touch the front, and your heel should feel secure but not constricted. If between sizes, often sizing up a half-size is recommended for hiking boots to accommodate foot swelling during activity.

The X-shaped Speedboard® is an integrated plate within the midsole that provides a unique balance of flex and stability. It helps propel you forward, aiding in agile movement, while offering essential support and protection on uneven terrain.

Ensure pants or gaiters are not channeling water into the boot from above. Check for tears or damage to the waterproof membrane. Make sure socks are wicking moisture away from your skin, as sweat can also cause a wet feeling. Clean and re-treat the DWR coating on the exterior.

Verify you are wearing appropriate hiking socks (non-cotton, moisture-wicking). Re-lace your boots, ensuring snug but not overly tight tension, especially around the ankle. If persistent, consider custom insoles or ensure the boot size is correct for your foot shape and volume.

Inspect the Missiongrip™ outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the tread thoroughly. Note that no outsole can guarantee perfect grip on all surfaces (e.g., wet, smooth rock can be challenging for any boot).

Allow for a proper break-in period by wearing the boots on shorter walks before attempting longer hikes. This allows the materials to soften and conform to your foot's shape. Ensure you have the correct size; boots that are too small or too large will always feel uncomfortable.
