FAQs
Are these boots fully waterproof?
Yes, the On Cloudrock Mid WP hiking shoes feature a dedicated waterproof membrane designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions, such as rain, puddles, and stream crossings.
How should I clean my Cloudrock Mid WP boots?
Gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with lukewarm water. Air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or use harsh chemicals.
What kind of terrain are these boots best suited for?
These boots are ideal for varied hiking terrains, including rocky trails, muddy paths, and uneven surfaces, thanks to their Missiongrip outsole and enhanced stability features.
Do I need to break in these hiking shoes?
While designed for immediate comfort, a short break-in period on shorter walks is recommended to allow the boots to fully mold to your feet for optimal long-term comfort.
What is Missiongrip rubber?
Missiongrip is On's proprietary rubber compound used in the outsole, engineered to provide superior traction and grip on both wet and dry challenging terrains, ensuring secure footing.
Will my feet get hot in waterproof boots?
Waterproof membranes can sometimes reduce breathability compared to non-waterproof footwear. However, these boots are designed to balance waterproofing with comfort. Wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks can help manage foot temperature and sweat.
How durable is the toe cap?
The TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) toe cap is designed to be highly durable, providing robust protection for your toes against impacts from rocks, roots, and other trail hazards.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite waterproof claim
Ensure pants or gaiters are covering the top of the boot to prevent water from entering over the collar. Also, check for damage to the waterproof membrane from sharp objects. Wear moisture-wicking socks to manage sweat.
Discomfort or rubbing during hikes
Verify you have the correct size and width. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks and allow for a proper break-in period.
Reduced traction on certain surfaces
Clean the Missiongrip outsole thoroughly to remove any caked-on mud, debris, or small stones that might be impacting the grip. Inspect the sole for excessive wear, which might indicate it's time for a replacement.
Debris getting into the shoes
While the closed midsole channel prevents debris in the sole, ensure your socks are pulled up and consider using gaiters, especially in sandy, dusty, or very brushy environments, to prevent debris from entering through the top of the boot.
Boots feel stiff
This is normal for new hiking boots, especially those designed for stability and durability. Continue wearing them on shorter walks to allow the materials to break in and conform to your foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your On Cloudrock Mid WP hiking shoes involves proper setup, understanding compatibility, and consistent care.
Setup & First Use
- Lacing: Ensure proper lacing for a secure, comfortable fit. Start by snugging the laces evenly from the toes upwards, but avoid overtightening, especially around the ankle, to allow for natural foot flex. A 'surgeon's knot' or double knot can help prevent loosening.
- Socks: Wear appropriate hiking socks (wool or synthetic) that wick moisture away from your feet. This enhances the waterproofing and prevents chafing.
- Break-In: While comfortable out of the box, it's advisable to wear your new boots on shorter walks before embarking on a long hike to allow them to fully conform to your feet.
Compatibility
These hiking shoes are designed for general hiking and trekking. They pair well with standard hiking apparel, including waterproof trousers, gaiters (for added lower leg protection in very wet or muddy conditions), and a supportive hiking backpack.
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: After each use, especially if muddy, gently brush off loose dirt. For more stubborn grime, use a soft brush or cloth with lukewarm water. Do not use harsh detergents or put them in a washing machine, as this can damage the waterproof membrane and materials.
- Drying: Allow the boots to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause materials to crack or shrink. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
- Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Over time, the outer durable water repellent (DWR) coating may wear off. If water starts to 'wet out' (soak into the outer fabric instead of beading up), you can reapply a DWR treatment specifically designed for footwear.
