FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for summer hiking?
Yes, but be aware that the waterproof membrane makes them less breathable than non-waterproof mesh shoes. They are best suited for cool, damp, or rainy conditions.
How do I clean the waterproof membrane?
Gently hand wash with lukewarm water and a mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as these can strip the protective waterproof coating.
Can I use these for long-distance backpacking?
They are ideal for day hikes and moderate trail use. For multi-day backpacking with very heavy packs, you may prefer a boot with more ankle structure.
What is the fit of the Cloudhorizon like?
They typically fit true to size, but the engineered mesh offers a slightly more flexible, accommodating feel compared to rigid leather hiking shoes.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the internal insoles can be removed to accommodate custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Moisture buildup inside the shoe
Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking synthetic or wool socks. The waterproof membrane is designed to lock water out, which can limit evaporation if cotton socks are worn.
Slipping on wet, steep rock
While Missiongrip is highly effective, no rubber compound offers infinite traction. Reduce speed on steep gradients and ensure the lugs are free from packed mud.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first hike, ensure the shoes are laced securely to take full advantage of the internal structural support. Since the shoes feature a waterproof membrane, it is essential to keep them clean to maintain breathability; mud buildup can clog the mesh pores. To care for your Cloudhorizons, remove excess dirt with a soft brush after your excursion. If they become soaked, air dry them naturally at room temperature. Avoid using direct heat sources, such as radiators or dryers, as extreme heat can degrade the adhesive bonds and the waterproof membrane's integrity over time.
