FAQs

Are the On Cloudrock Low WP boots completely waterproof?

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.

How should I clean my Cloudrock Low WP boots?

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.

What type of terrain are these boots best suited for?

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.

Do I need to break in the Cloudrock Low WP?

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.

Can I use these boots for trail running?

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.

How do I choose the correct size for the On Cloudrock Low WP?

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.

What is the X-shaped Speedboard®?

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.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel wet despite waterproof claim

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.

Experiencing foot slippage or blisters

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.

Lack of grip on certain surfaces

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).

Boots feel stiff or uncomfortable initially

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof protection for dry feet
  • Superior grip and stability on varied terrain due to Missiongrip™ outsole
  • High level of cushioning from Helion™ superfoam provides running shoe comfort
  • Agile and responsive feel for dynamic movement on trails
  • Durable construction with toe cap and mudguard for foot protection

Cons

  • Low-cut design may offer less ankle support than high-cut boots for very rugged terrain
  • Waterproof membrane can reduce breathability in very hot conditions
  • May require a short break-in period for optimal comfort
  • The sleek design might not appeal to users preferring traditional hiking boot aesthetics

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Lacing: Ensure even tension across the laces. Use a heel lock lacing technique if you experience heel slippage. Proper lacing helps secure your foot and prevents movement that can lead to blisters.
  2. Break-In Period: While often comfortable out of the box, it's advisable to wear the boots on shorter walks before embarking on a long hike to allow them to conform to your feet.

Compatibility

This boot is compatible with a variety of hiking activities, including:

  • Day Hiking: Perfect for single-day excursions on established trails.
  • Fastpacking: Its lightweight and agile design supports faster movements over varied distances.
  • Light Backpacking: Suitable for trips with lighter loads on moderately challenging terrain.
  • Mixed Terrain: Excels on trails combining dirt, gravel, rocks, and some muddy sections.

Care

  • Cleaning: After each use, brush off loose dirt and debris. For tougher grime, use a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh detergents as they can damage the waterproof membrane. Let them air dry naturally; do not use direct heat sources.
  • Drying: Always allow the boots to dry thoroughly in a well-ventilated area after use, especially if they have gotten wet. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  • Storage: Store your Cloudrock Low WP in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are clean and completely dry before storing to prevent mold or mildew growth.
  • Waterproofing Maintenance: While waterproof, the outer material's DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may degrade over time. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment periodically to maintain water repellency.
