On Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof - Black - 11 UK

These trainers feature a high-performance waterproof membrane designed to keep your feet dry in rainy conditions, wet paths, and puddles. While highly water-resistant, it's important to note that deep submersion or water entering over the collar can still result in wet feet.

No, machine washing is not recommended. The harsh detergents, high temperatures, and agitation can damage the waterproof membrane, adhesives, and material integrity. It's best to clean them by hand as detailed in the care section.

The Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof offers impressive traction and stability suitable for varied terrains, including light trails and gravel paths. However, they are primarily designed for road running and general active use. For highly technical or extreme trail running, a more specialized trail shoe might offer superior grip and protection.

Cloudtec is On Running's patented cushioning technology. It consists of individual 'cloud' elements on the sole that compress upon impact to absorb vertical and horizontal forces, then lock firm to provide a solid foundation for an explosive push-off, delivering a unique balance of soft landing and powerful take-off.

Helion engineering refers to On Running's advanced superfoam used in the midsole. This specialized foam combines rigid and softer elements to provide a unique blend of lightweight comfort, durability, and energy return across various temperatures, enhancing the overall cushioning experience alongside Cloudtec.

On Running shoes generally fit true to size. We recommend measuring your foot length and comparing it to On Running's size chart. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size, especially for running shoes where a little extra room can be beneficial. (This particular variant is UK 11 for men).

Yes, the premium mesh outer material is designed to offer excellent breathability. While the waterproof membrane adds a layer, On Running engineers their shoes to balance waterproofing with ventilation to prevent overheating and maintain comfort, though extreme heat might still feel warmer than non-waterproof models.

Check the shoe for any visible damage or tears that might compromise the waterproof membrane. Ensure water isn't entering from the top (e.g., through sock lines in heavy rain) or from large puddles overflowing the shoe collar. Consider using waterproof gaiters for extreme conditions. Also, ensure your socks are not cotton, which retains moisture, but rather synthetic, moisture-wicking materials.

Running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles, after which the cushioning begins to degrade. Track your mileage. Also, ensure the Cloudtec elements in the sole are free from debris that could impede their movement. A thorough cleaning of the sole might help restore some feel.

This is often caused by moisture and bacteria. Always air your trainers out completely after each use. Remove the insoles to allow them to dry separately. You can use shoe deodorizers, baking soda packets, or cedar shoe inserts to absorb moisture and neutralize odors. Avoid storing them in confined, damp spaces.
