ON Cloudrock Low WP Hiking Shoes - Hunter/Black - UK 6.5

The ON Cloudrock Low WP features a waterproof membrane, making them suitable for wet conditions in spring, summer, and autumn. For winter use, while waterproof, they do not offer significant insulation, so consider the temperature and wear appropriate thermal socks if hiking in colder climates.

Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn mud, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents.

These shoes are best suited for all-terrain hiking, including mixed trails, moderate to technical rocky paths, and dirt roads. The Missiongrip™ outsole provides excellent traction on varied surfaces.

While the redesigned upper and collar offer instant comfort, it's always recommended to wear any new hiking shoes on a few shorter walks or around home before embarking on a long trek. This allows the shoes to fully conform to your foot shape and ensures maximum comfort on the trail.

The ON Cloudrock Low WP Hiking Shoes have an 8mm heel drop, which provides a balanced platform for hiking.

A single ON Cloudrock Low WP shoe (UK 6.5) weighs approximately 430.1g. This lightweight design helps reduce fatigue on longer hikes.

While agile, the Cloudrock Low WP shoes are primarily designed for the stability and protection needed for hiking. For dedicated trail running, ON offers other models specifically engineered for faster paces and different impact dynamics.

The shoes feature an integrated waterproof membrane which provides lasting waterproof protection. The outer material also has a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating which may diminish over time. You can reapply a DWR treatment to the outer fabric to maintain its water-shedding properties, which helps the membrane perform better.

First, ensure water isn't entering from the top (e.g., splashing over the collar, or wet pants wicking moisture down). Also, check your socks; cotton socks absorb moisture and can make your feet feel damp even if the shoes are dry. Use moisture-wicking synthetic or wool hiking socks. Ensure the waterproof membrane is not compromised by tears or punctures; inspect the shoe carefully.

Adjust your lacing. Try different lacing techniques to relieve pressure in specific areas. Ensure you're wearing appropriate hiking socks. If the issue persists, ensure you have the correct size; sometimes, a slightly larger size might be needed to accommodate foot swelling during long hikes. Allow for a proper break-in period, although these shoes are designed for instant comfort.

Check the outsole for excessive wear or accumulation of mud/debris in the Missiongrip™ lugs. Clean the outsole thoroughly after each use. On very slick or icy surfaces, no outsole can guarantee perfect grip; adjust your stride and awareness to the conditions. If the outsole is significantly worn, performance will decrease, indicating it might be time for replacement.
