FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for daily casual wear?
While comfortable, the Cloudhorizon 2 is specifically engineered for hiking. For casual wear, you might find other On Running models more suited to a broader range of activities.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The heel-to-toe drop for the Cloudhorizon 2 is 8 mm.
How do I clean the polyester upper?
Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush or use a damp cloth. A mild soap and water solution can be used for tougher spots, followed by air drying.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
The shoes offer good traction, but the polyester upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to moderately wet conditions. For heavy rain, waterproof footwear would be more appropriate.
What makes the Missiongrip sole effective?
Missiongrip features a unique lug pattern designed to provide exceptional traction on a wide variety of surfaces, from hard-packed trails to loose gravel.
How do the stable sidewalls contribute to performance?
The stable sidewalls are designed to cradle and secure your foot, preventing excessive movement and enhancing stability, especially on technical or uneven terrain.
What is the weight of a single shoe?
The approximate weight of a single shoe (size 7) is 362.5 grams.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the front laces and re-tie, ensuring the pressure is evenly distributed. Consider using thinner socks if the issue persists.
Lack of traction on wet surfaces
Ensure the Missiongrip sole is clean from mud or debris. While designed for grip, extremely slick surfaces can challenge any footwear.
Discomfort after a long hike
Verify the lacing is not too tight, especially around the ankle and forefoot. Ensure the heel is seated properly in the shoe.
Uppers seem damp after use
Allow shoes to air dry completely after each hike. Avoid storing them while still damp. Ensure adequate ventilation during storage.
