FAQs
Are these boots suitable for year-round hiking?
Yes, the On Cloudrock Mid WP boots are versatile for most seasons, especially in cooler or wet conditions due to their waterproof membrane. In very hot summer weather, they might feel warmer than non-waterproof alternatives, but they offer excellent protection for varied climates.
Do I need to 'break in' these boots?
While designed for immediate comfort, like many hiking boots, a short break-in period is recommended. We suggest wearing them on shorter walks around your neighborhood or on lighter trails before embarking on a long hike to allow them to conform to your feet.
How do I maintain the waterproof feature?
Regular cleaning is key. After cleaning, you may periodically re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to the outer fabric. This helps water bead off the surface, preventing the outer layer from wetting out, which can compromise breathability.
What type of socks should I wear with these boots?
For optimal comfort and moisture management, we recommend wearing synthetic or wool hiking-specific socks. These materials wick moisture away from your feet, helping to prevent blisters and keep your feet dry. Avoid cotton socks, as they retain moisture.
Can I use these boots for trail running?
The On Cloudrock Mid WP is designed as a hiking boot, prioritizing stability, protection, and support over agility for running. While you *can* move quickly in them, they are not optimized for the demands of trail running, which typically requires lighter, more flexible footwear.
What is `Missiongrip` rubber?
`Missiongrip` is On's proprietary outsole technology designed to provide superior traction and grip on varied and challenging terrains. It combines different grip patterns and rubber compounds to ensure stability and security on wet, dry, hard, or soft surfaces.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel wet even though the boots are waterproof.
This could be due to sweat build-up if you're wearing cotton socks or if the weather is very warm. Ensure you're wearing moisture-wicking synthetic or wool socks. Also, check that water isn't entering from the top of the boot (e.g., through pant openings in heavy rain) or if the DWR coating on the outside needs reapplication.
I'm experiencing discomfort or blisters.
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Wear appropriate hiking socks. It's common for new hiking boots to require a 'break-in' period; start with shorter hikes to allow the boots to mold to your feet. Check lacing to ensure even pressure and prevent rubbing.
The boots feel slippery on certain surfaces.
While `Missiongrip` offers superior traction, no sole is infallible on all surfaces (e.g., extremely slick wet moss). Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris that might reduce grip. Inspect the sole for excessive wear; worn-out lugs will reduce traction.
Small stones or debris are still getting into the boots.
While the closed midsole channel helps, small debris can still enter from the top. Consider using gaiters, especially in areas with loose scree or gravel, to prevent debris from falling into the boot opening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Lacing: Ensure laces are snug but not overly tight, allowing for natural foot flex. Start lacing from the toe box, working your way up to the ankle for even pressure distribution. Use the top hooks for extra ankle support.
- Socks: Wear appropriate hiking socks (wool or synthetic) to wick away moisture and prevent blisters. Avoid cotton socks.
Compatibility:
These boots are ideal for hiking on various terrains, including rocky trails, forest paths, and muddy conditions. Their waterproof design makes them suitable for wet weather and light snow, but they are not designed for extreme mountaineering or deep snow.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each hike, brush off loose dirt and debris. For heavier mud, use a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow boots to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, campfires) as this can damage materials and waterproofing. Remove insoles to speed up drying.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically re-treat the outer fabric with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for waterproof breathable footwear to maintain water repellency.
