On Running Cloud 6 Waterproof - Purple - UK 5.5

The On Running Cloud 6 Waterproof Trainers are primarily designed for daily wear, urban adventures, and light activities where comfort and weather protection are key. While they can handle short, casual runs, their waterproof membrane means they are not optimized for the breathability and specialized performance required for intensive or long-distance running.

CloudTec® is On Running's patented cushioning system. It consists of individual 'clouds' or hollow pods on the sole that compress both horizontally and vertically upon impact, providing a uniquely soft landing. These 'clouds' then firm up for a powerful and efficient take-off, offering responsive cushioning throughout your stride.

No, it is not recommended to machine wash your trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, compromise the waterproof membrane, and affect the structural integrity of the shoe. Always follow the gentle hand-cleaning and air-drying instructions provided in the care section.

On Running shoes generally fit true to size. However, for the most accurate fit, it's recommended to measure your foot and consult the official On Running size chart. If you are between sizes, consider the typical fit preference for running/walking shoes (e.g., leaving a thumb's width of space at the toe).

The sole design offers reliable grip for urban environments, pavements, and light trails in wet conditions. While designed for traction, extreme ice or highly slippery surfaces will still pose a challenge, as with any footwear.

Yes, the strategically placed reflective accents are designed to enhance your visibility to others in low-light conditions, such as during dawn, dusk, or nighttime. This adds an extra layer of safety for urban commuters and walkers.

The Cloud 6 series typically focuses on an updated CloudTec® configuration and refined upper materials for enhanced comfort and a modern aesthetic suitable for everyday wear. The 'Waterproof' designation specifically adds a protective membrane, distinguishing it from non-waterproof Cloud models for all-weather performance.

Ensure that water is not entering over the top of the shoe, especially in deep puddles or heavy rain. Also, consider the type of socks you are wearing; cotton socks can retain moisture, while technical moisture-wicking socks will help keep feet drier. In very warm conditions, internal moisture could be sweat, not leakage.

The speed lacing system is adjustable. To tighten, pull the laces through the toggle. To loosen, press the toggle and slide it along the laces. Experiment with the tension until you find a secure yet comfortable fit. If you prefer a more traditional lacing feel, some users opt to replace speed laces with conventional laces, though this is not the intended design.

Squeaking can sometimes occur with new shoes as materials settle or due to friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning underneath it, and reinserting it carefully. If the squeaking persists, it might be due to walking on certain types of flooring. This usually subsides with wear.
