FAQs

Are the On Cloudvista 2 shoes waterproof?

The Cloudvista 2 is designed with materials that offer good water resistance for splashes and light rain, typical for trail shoes. However, they are not fully waterproof and prolonged exposure to deep puddles or heavy rain will likely result in wet feet. For waterproof options, look for models specifically designated as 'Waterproof' or 'Gore-Tex'.

What kind of terrain is best for the Cloudvista 2?

These shoes are optimized for mixed terrain, including gravel roads, dirt paths, forest trails, and moderate singletrack. They handle transitions between different surfaces very well, making them ideal for varied local trail systems.

How often should I replace my Cloudvista 2 shoes?

The lifespan of running shoes varies based on mileage, running style, and terrain. Generally, trail running shoes should be considered for replacement every 300-500 miles (500-800 km), or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning, support, or outsole grip.

Can I use these shoes for road running?

Yes, the Cloudvista 2's cushioning and versatile design mean they can comfortably handle short sections of road running, especially as part of a run that also includes trails. For predominantly road running, a dedicated road shoe would offer better optimized features.

How do I clean my Cloudvista 2 shoes?

To clean, gently brush off loose dirt. Use a mild soap (like hand soap) and cold water with a soft brush or cloth to clean soiled areas. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or dry.

Do the Cloudvista 2 run true to size?

On Cloudvista shoes typically run true to size for most individuals. However, foot shape can vary, so it's always recommended to consult On's sizing chart and consider trying them on if possible to ensure the best fit.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or too loose.

Adjust the lacing system. Ensure you're wearing appropriate running socks. If the issue persists, verify your foot measurements against On's sizing guide; sometimes a half-size up or down can make a significant difference.

Experiencing hot spots or blisters during runs.

This is often due to friction. Check your socks for seams or bunching. Ensure your shoes are laced securely but not overly tight, allowing for natural foot expansion during activity. Consider anti-blister socks or applying tape to prone areas.

Loss of grip on wet or loose terrain.

While the Cloudvista 2 offers good grip, no shoe is infallible on all surfaces. Adapt your stride by shortening your steps and lowering your center of gravity. Check the outsole for wear; significant tread wear can reduce traction. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris.

Noise (squeaking) from the shoes.

Squeaking can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's last board. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and placing a thin layer of baby powder or fabric softener sheet underneath the insole. If it's from the outsole, it may be due to moisture on certain surfaces.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent versatility for diverse trail types.
  • Enhanced cushioning provides superior comfort for long distances.
  • Responsive Speedboard offers energetic propulsion.
  • Improved protection and shock absorption from higher stack height.
  • Reliable grip on mixed and wet surfaces.
  • Lightweight feel despite increased cushioning.

Cons

  • May lack the extreme rock protection needed for highly technical mountaineering trails.
  • Softer cushioning might reduce ground feel for some runners.
  • Info needed: Specific water resistance level is not explicitly stated, assume standard water-repellent, not waterproof.
  • Can attract dirt easily due to material and trail use, requiring regular cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup & First Use

  1. Lacing: Ensure your laces are snug but not overly tight. Use the lacing system to customize the fit, paying attention to the midfoot for security and the toe box for adequate room.
  2. Sock Choice: Pair with technical running socks that wick moisture away from your feet. Avoid cotton socks, which retain moisture and can cause blisters.
  3. Break-In: While the Cloudvista 2 is comfortable out of the box, allow for a few shorter runs to let the shoe mold to your foot before attempting longer distances.

Compatibility

  • Terrain: Best suited for mixed terrains including gravel, dirt paths, forest trails, light singletrack, and even short road sections.
  • Foot Type: Generally accommodates a wide range of foot types. The secure lacing helps in achieving a customized fit.
  • Activities: Ideal for daily trail running, long-distance trail training, and light hiking. Not designed for competitive fell running or extreme mountain traverses.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care extends the life and maintains the performance of your On Cloudvista 2 shoes:

  • Cleaning: After each run, especially if muddy, remove excess dirt by gently tapping the shoes together. Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soap with cold water to clean the upper and outsole. Avoid harsh detergents.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them in direct sunlight, on a heater, or in a tumble dryer, as extreme heat can damage materials and adhesives. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help retain their shape.
  • Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp environments.
  • Inspection: Regularly check the outsole for embedded debris (small rocks, thorns) and remove them to prevent damage to the sole or injury during your next run.
