FAQs

Are these shoes truly waterproof?

Yes, the 'WP' in the product name 'Cloudrock Low WP' signifies that these shoes are equipped with a waterproof membrane to keep your feet dry in wet conditions.

What kind of activities are these shoes best suited for?

The On Cloudrock Low WP shoes are designed for versatility, making them ideal for hiking, trail walking, general outdoor adventures, and even demanding daily use. Their features support both athletic performance and casual wear.

How should I clean my Cloudrock Low WP shoes?

Brush off loose dirt, then gently wipe the recycled polyester upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

What is Helion superfoam?

Helion superfoam is On's proprietary cushioning technology used in the midsole. It's engineered to provide exceptional softness, rebound, and durability, ensuring comfort and energy return during your activities.

What does the Missiongrip outsole do?

The Missiongrip outsole features a multi-traction pattern designed to provide superior grip and stability on a variety of surfaces, including wet and dry trails, rocky terrain, and loose gravel.

Is the X-shaped Speedboard important?

Yes, the X-shaped Speedboard is a crucial component that enhances flexibility and propulsion. It helps adapt to uneven ground and provides a responsive feel, contributing to an agile and powerful stride.

Are these shoes suitable for cold weather?

While they are waterproof, the Cloudrock Low WP shoes are not specifically insulated for extreme cold. For very low temperatures, consider pairing them with thermal socks or choosing dedicated winter footwear.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try different lacing techniques (e.g., skipping eyelets over high insteps) or wearing thinner/thicker socks. A short break-in period can also improve comfort.

Reduced grip on wet or slippery surfaces.

Clean the Missiongrip outsole thoroughly to remove any caked-on mud, dirt, or debris that might be impairing traction. Check for excessive wear on the tread pattern.

Feet feel wet despite the waterproof (WP) designation.

First, check if water entered from the top (e.g., over the low padded collar) or through damaged sections of the upper. Clean the upper and re-apply a DWR treatment if the outer fabric is absorbing water instead of shedding it. Ensure socks are wicking moisture away properly.

Squeaking sound while walking.

This can sometimes be caused by the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and reinserting. A sprinkle of baby powder beneath the insole can also help reduce friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Your On Cloudrock Low WP shoes require minimal setup. Simply unbox, try them on for fit, and adjust laces for comfort. A short 'break-in' period during lighter activities can help the shoes mold to your feet, optimizing comfort for longer excursions.

Compatibility:

  • Age Group: Adult
  • Gender: Male
  • Activities: Ideal for hiking, trail walking, outdoor adventures, and demanding daily wear. Their versatile design also makes them suitable for general casual use where robust footwear is desired.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush). For stubborn marks, use a damp cloth and mild soap (non-detergent) to wipe the recycled polyester upper. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Outsole Care: Remove any trapped mud or debris from the Missiongrip outsole using a brush or a stick to maintain optimal traction.
  3. Drying: If wet, remove insoles and allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
  4. Waterproofing: While these shoes are waterproof (WP), regular exposure to harsh conditions can impact the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. Periodically clean and re-treat with a suitable footwear waterproofing spray designed for synthetic materials to maintain performance.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
