On Cloudrock Low Waterproof Hiking Shoes - Black - UK 9

The Cloudrock Low Waterproof Hiking Shoes are primarily designed for lightweight, agile performance on short, one-day hikes. For multi-day backpacking with heavy loads or highly technical terrain, a higher-cut boot with more substantial ankle support and rigidity may be more appropriate.

Gently brush off loose dirt. Use a soft cloth or sponge with lukewarm water and a mild shoe cleaner to wipe down the exterior. Remove insoles to clean separately. Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat.

As a low-cut hiking shoe, the Cloudrock Low provides moderate ankle support suitable for most trails and day hikes. If you require maximum ankle stability for extremely uneven terrain or carrying heavy loads, a mid- or high-cut hiking boot would offer more support.

These shoes are designed for mixed, technical terrain, including rocky paths, muddy trails, forest floors, and gravel roads. The Missiongrip™ outsole provides excellent traction on varied surfaces, both wet and dry.

Yes, despite being waterproof, the shoes feature a mesh upper which contributes to breathability, helping to manage foot temperature during active use. The waterproof membrane is engineered to allow vapor to escape while blocking liquid water entry.

CloudTec is On's patented cushioning system featuring individual 'Cloud' elements that compress to cushion impact and then lock firm for a solid push-off. This provides a unique sensation of running on clouds, offering both soft landings and powerful take-offs.

Ensure water isn't entering over the top of the shoe (e.g., from deep puddles or without gaiters). Check for any visible damage to the shoe's upper that might compromise the membrane. Clean and reapply a DWR treatment to the outer fabric if water is saturating the surface.

Inspect the Missiongrip™ outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the sole thoroughly to remove any caked-on mud or small stones. Ensure your laces are tied securely to prevent foot slippage within the shoe, which can affect stability.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks that wick moisture and prevent friction. Check your lacing technique; experimenting with different patterns can alleviate pressure points. Allow for a break-in period for the shoes to conform to your feet. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct shoe size and width.
