FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
While they can be used on roads for short transitions, the Cloudvista 2 Waterproof is primarily designed for trail running, where its traction and cushioning are optimized for uneven and soft surfaces.
How do I maintain the waterproofing?
To maintain waterproofing, clean the shoes gently with lukewarm water and a mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or using direct heat, which can damage the waterproof membrane.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
We recommend wearing moisture-wicking running socks to manage sweat and enhance comfort, especially given the waterproof upper's reduced breathability.
What is Helion Superfoam?
Helion Superfoam is On Running's proprietary cushioning technology designed to provide soft landings and powerful take-offs, offering responsive comfort and durability for varied running conditions.
Are these shoes true to size?
On Running shoes generally run true to size. However, it's always recommended to consult a size guide or try them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering individual foot shapes and preferences for running shoe fit.
Troubleshooting
My feet are getting wet despite the waterproof claim.
Ensure the shoes are laced correctly, preventing water entry from the top. Check for any damage to the waterproof upper. In extremely deep puddles or prolonged heavy rain, water can sometimes enter over the collar of the shoe.
The shoes feel less breathable than expected.
Waterproof materials inherently reduce breathability. This is normal for waterproof footwear. Consider wearing moisture-wicking socks to manage sweat, especially in warmer conditions.
I'm experiencing discomfort or rubbing.
Check your lacing for tightness – it might be too loose or too tight. Ensure you're wearing appropriate running socks. If the issue persists, verify the size and fit; perhaps a different size or width would be more suitable.
The grip isn't as good as I expected on certain surfaces.
The tough rubber outsole is designed for a wide range of trail surfaces. However, extreme conditions like slick ice, very wet rocks, or deep, sticky mud can challenge any outsole. Ensure the outsole lugs are clear of debris for optimal traction.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- All-weather protection: The durable waterproof upper keeps your feet dry and comfortable in wet and muddy trail conditions.
- Comfortable cushioning: Helion Superfoam provides a soft, responsive ride, absorbing impact effectively over long distances and uneven ground.
- Reliable traction: The tough rubber outsole ensures dependable grip on a wide range of trail surfaces, enhancing stability and confidence.
- Secure fit: The lace closure combined with a padded collar offers a snug and supportive fit, minimizing movement inside the shoe.
Cons
- Reduced breathability: As with most waterproof footwear, the waterproof membrane may limit airflow, potentially leading to warmer feet in very hot or dry climates.
- Potential weight: The addition of waterproof materials and a robust outsole may contribute to a slightly heavier feel compared to non-waterproof or minimalist trail shoes.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup & First Use
- Lacing: Begin by ensuring the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. Adjust the lace closure to achieve a snug but comfortable fit, ensuring your foot feels secure without any pressure points. The padded collar will contribute to this locked-in feel.
- Initial Wear: While On Running shoes are known for comfort straight out of the box, it's advisable to wear them for a few shorter walks or runs before undertaking long distances. This allows the shoes to naturally adapt to your foot shape and running style.
Compatibility
- Terrain: The Cloudvista 2 Waterproof is optimized for a broad spectrum of trail conditions, including forest paths, gravel tracks, moderate technical singletrack, and particularly wet or muddy environments. Its design accommodates varying ground types effectively.
- Weather: Specifically engineered for performance in challenging weather, these shoes excel in wet, damp, and rainy conditions, making them a reliable choice year-round.
- Activity: Primarily designed for trail running, they are also an excellent choice for fast-paced hiking, trekking, and general outdoor walking on natural surfaces where waterproof protection is beneficial.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care will extend the lifespan and maintain the performance of your Cloudvista 2 Waterproof shoes.
- Cleaning: After use, especially on muddy trails, gently brush off any loose dirt with a soft brush (an old toothbrush works well). For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with lukewarm water and a small amount of mild, non-detergent soap. Avoid submerging the entire shoe or using harsh chemicals, which can compromise the waterproof membrane and materials.
- Drying: Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources such as radiators, hair dryers, or direct sunlight, as extreme heat can degrade the Helion Superfoam midsole, adhesive bonds, and the waterproof properties of the upper. Stuffing the shoes with newspaper can help absorb internal moisture and maintain their shape during drying.
- Storage: Store your clean and completely dry shoes in a well-ventilated, cool, and dry place. Keep them away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent material breakdown.
