FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running on trails?
While lightweight and providing excellent cushioning, the Cloudrock Low is primarily designed as a hiking shoe, optimized for stability and traction on technical terrains. For dedicated trail running, On offers other models specifically engineered for that purpose, but these can handle light trail running.
What is the heel drop of the On Cloudrock Low?
The On Cloudrock Low features an 8mm heel drop, which promotes a natural foot alignment for hiking.
How much do these shoes weigh?
The approximate weight for a single shoe (UK 10.5) is 430.1g, making it a lightweight option for a waterproof hiking shoe.
Can I use these shoes for cold weather or winter hiking?
These shoes feature a waterproof membrane to keep your feet dry, but they are not insulated for extreme cold. For very cold winter conditions, you might consider shoes with added insulation.
Do I need to break in these shoes before a long hike?
Thanks to the redesigned upper and collar, the Cloudrock Low offers instant comfort and typically requires minimal to no break-in period. However, it's always recommended to take them on a few shorter walks before a strenuous hike to ensure they're perfectly comfortable for your feet.
What kind of terrain are these shoes best suited for?
The Cloudrock Low is specifically engineered for all-terrain hiking, including technical trails, rocky paths, muddy conditions, and varied landscapes where waterproof protection and reliable grip are crucial.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel wet even though the shoes are waterproof.
Check if water is entering from the top (e.g., splashing over the collar, or running down your legs into the shoe). Ensure your socks are not soaking up external moisture or that the shoes are not damaged. In very heavy rain or deep puddles, a gaiter can help prevent water ingress from above.
I am experiencing discomfort or rubbing during hikes.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks that wick moisture and prevent friction. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find the optimal fit that secures your foot without creating pressure points. While the shoes offer instant comfort, a short break-in period on less demanding trails can help your feet adapt.
The outsole grip seems to be less effective on certain terrains.
Regularly clean the Missiongrip™ outsole to prevent mud, dirt, or debris from accumulating in the lugs, which can reduce traction. Inspect the tread for signs of excessive wear; significant wear can diminish grip performance. Adjust your stride and foot placement on particularly challenging or slick surfaces.

Compatibility

Care
To ensure the longevity and performance of your On Cloudrock Low Waterproof Hiking Shoes, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: After each use, brush off any loose dirt or mud with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with lukewarm water and a mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the waterproof membrane and materials. Rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause material degradation. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: Over time, the outer DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may wear off. You can re-apply a DWR treatment spray suitable for footwear to maintain water repellency.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
