FAQs
Are the On Cloudrock Mid WP Hiking Shoes truly waterproof?
Yes, these shoes feature a waterproof membrane designed to keep your feet dry in wet conditions, including rain, puddles, and light stream crossings.
What is Missiongrip rubber?
Missiongrip is On's proprietary rubber compound used in the outsole. It's engineered to provide superior traction and grip on various terrains, both wet and dry, enhancing stability and safety on the trails.
Do I need to break in these shoes?
While often comfortable out of the box, it's recommended to wear them on a few shorter hikes before tackling longer distances. This allows the shoes to adapt to your foot shape for optimal comfort and performance.
How should I clean my Cloudrock Mid WP shoes?
Remove loose dirt with a brush. For heavier dirt, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry them away from direct heat, and ensure insoles are removed to aid drying. Avoid machine washing.
What kind of socks should I wear with these hiking shoes?
It is recommended to wear moisture-wicking hiking socks made from materials like merino wool or synthetic blends. These help prevent blisters and keep your feet comfortable and dry.
What is the TPU toe cap for?
The TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) toe cap provides extra protection for your toes against impacts from rocks, roots, and other trail hazards. It also adds to the shoe's overall durability.
Are these shoes suitable for winter hiking?
While the waterproof membrane offers protection from snow, these are not insulated winter boots. They can be suitable for mild winter conditions or with appropriate thermal socks, but for extreme cold, dedicated winter boots are advisable.
Troubleshooting
My feet are getting wet despite the waterproof claim.
Ensure the shoes are laced properly to prevent water entry from the top. Check for any physical damage to the waterproof membrane from sharp objects. Also, ensure water isn't entering over the top of the shoe (consider gaiters in deep puddles/snow).
I'm experiencing discomfort or blisters on longer hikes.
Verify you are wearing appropriate hiking socks that wick moisture. Ensure the shoes are properly broken in. Check your lacing technique for pressure points. Consider trying different insoles for personalized arch support if discomfort persists.
The traction seems to have decreased.
Inspect the Missiongrip outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the tread thoroughly. If the tread is significantly worn down, it might be time to consider replacing the shoes for optimal safety.
My shoes feel heavy and stiff.
This is common for mid-cut hiking boots designed for stability and protection. If stiffness is extreme, ensure they are adequately broken in. Over time, the materials will become more flexible.
The shoes smell after use.
Remove insoles after each use and allow shoes to air dry completely. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure good ventilation when storing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure proper lacing for optimal fit and support. Start with laces loose at the toe and progressively tighten towards the ankle. Utilize the top eyelets for maximum ankle support.
- Socks: Wear appropriate hiking socks (wool or synthetic blends) to wick away moisture and prevent blisters.
- Break-in Period: While often comfortable out of the box, a short break-in period on shorter hikes is recommended to mold the shoes to your feet before tackling long distances.
Compatibility
- Terrain: Ideal for varied terrains including rocky trails, muddy paths, wet forest floors, and light snow.
- Activities: Best suited for hiking, trekking, backpacking, and general outdoor adventures where waterproof protection and stability are required.
- Gaiters: Compatible with most hiking gaiters for added protection against deep snow, mud, or heavy rain.
Care
- Cleaning: After each use, remove loose dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use mild soap and water. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Remove insoles to speed up drying. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and waterproof membrane.
- Waterproofing: Over time, the outer durable water repellent (DWR) coating may wear off. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment spray or wash-in product periodically to maintain water repellency, focusing on the fabric sections.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
