FAQs

What type of terrain is the On Cloudvista 2 best suited for?

The On Cloudvista 2 is ideally suited for mixed trail conditions, including gravel roads, dirt paths, forest trails, and light to moderate singletrack. It offers a balanced blend of cushioning and grip for versatile performance.

Is the Cloudvista 2 suitable for long-distance trail running?

Yes, with its softer cushioning and slightly higher stack height, the Cloudvista 2 provides enhanced comfort and impact protection, making it a great option for longer trail runs and daily mileage.

How does the Speedboard technology work?

The redesigned dual-tip Speedboard is a flexible plate embedded in the midsole. It acts to load and release energy, providing a propulsive and responsive feel that helps in transitioning smoothly and efficiently through your stride, especially on varied terrain.

How do I clean my On Cloudvista 2 shoes?

Gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals. Always air dry your shoes completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.

What are the main improvements in Cloudvista 2 compared to the original Cloudvista?

The Cloudvista 2 features softer cushioning, a slightly higher stack height for increased protection, and a newly redesigned dual-tip Speedboard for enhanced rebound and a more dynamic ride.

Can I use these shoes for road running as well?

While primarily designed for trails, the Cloudvista 2's cushioning and versatile outsole make it capable of handling short sections of road comfortably when transitioning between trail segments. However, for exclusive road running, a dedicated road running shoe might offer better optimization for pavement.

Troubleshooting

Foot discomfort or rubbing during runs.

Check your lacing for even tension across your foot. Experiment with different lacing techniques. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks that fit well and wick moisture. Your shoe size might also need re-evaluation.

Shoes feel heavy or less responsive than expected.

Ensure the shoes are properly broken in. The 'Speedboard' design often feels more dynamic after a few runs. Also, check if any debris is lodged in the outsole, adding weight or altering the shoe's flex. Proper running form can also impact perceived responsiveness.

Slipping on certain trail conditions.

The Cloudvista 2 is designed for mixed terrain. If you are experiencing excessive slipping, particularly in deep mud or on very wet, technical rock, it might indicate that the terrain exceeds the shoe's intended capabilities. Consider a shoe with more aggressive lug patterns for those specific conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean of compacted mud or debris.

Shoes retain odor after runs.

Always remove insoles and allow shoes to air dry completely after each run. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure shoes are stored in a well-ventilated area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

  1. Lacing: Ensure proper lacing for a secure, comfortable fit. Start by lacing loosely, then tighten from the toes upwards, securing the knot firmly without over-tightening to avoid pressure points.
  2. First Run: Begin with a shorter, less demanding run to allow your feet to adapt to the shoe's cushioning and fit. This helps in breaking in the shoe and identifying any fit adjustments needed.

Compatibility

  • Terrain: Best suited for mixed trail conditions including gravel, dirt paths, forest trails, light singletrack, and even short road sections. Its design balances cushioning and responsiveness for varied surfaces.
  • Runner Type: Ideal for runners seeking a versatile trail shoe that prioritizes comfort and a smooth ride over highly aggressive technical features. Suitable for both novice and experienced trail runners.

Care & Maintenance

  1. Cleaning: After each trail run, gently brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents.
  2. Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Do not place them in direct sunlight or use a tumble dryer, as extreme heat can damage materials and adhesives. Remove insoles to speed up drying and prevent odors.
  3. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them in damp environments, which can encourage bacterial growth and odor.
  4. Insoles: Periodically remove and wash insoles separately if they become soiled or develop odors. Replace worn-out insoles for continued comfort and support.
  5. Inspection: Regularly inspect the outsole for signs of excessive wear or embedded debris, which can impact grip.
