On Cloudvista 2 Waterproof - 3 UK

Yes, the On Cloudvista 2 Waterproof is specifically designed with a waterproof membrane, making them ideal for use in wet, damp, and rainy conditions. The Missiongrip™ outsole also ensures reliable traction on various terrains, regardless of weather.

These shoes are best suited for varied outdoor terrains, including light to moderate trails, forest paths, gravel roads, and uneven surfaces. The enhanced grip and cushioning make them versatile for most non-technical trail adventures.

Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Wipe the shoes clean with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.

While the Cloudvista 2 Waterproof is designed for comfort from the start, a short break-in period of a few shorter walks or runs is recommended. This allows the shoe to adapt to your foot's shape and ensures optimal comfort for longer adventures.

The superior grip comes from the Missiongrip™ outsole, which features an ultra-sticky rubber compound, an updated multi-directional tread pattern, and larger lugs. These elements work together to provide reliable traction on both dry and wet, uneven surfaces.

On shoes generally run true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary slightly. It's recommended to consult a size chart or, if possible, try them on, especially considering different sock thicknesses you might wear for trail running.

While technically possible, the Cloudvista 2 Waterproof is optimized for trail running. Its aggressive outsole and cushioning are designed for uneven, natural surfaces. For pure road running, you might find a dedicated road running shoe more comfortable and efficient.

The redesigned dual-tip Speedboard® acts as a propulsion plate, increasing rebound and responsiveness with each step. It helps to efficiently transfer energy, resulting in a quicker, more energetic, and more enjoyable stride, particularly on varied terrain.

Ensure the shoe is properly laced to prevent water from entering through the top. Check for any visible damage or tears in the waterproof membrane. Consider using gaiters in very wet or deep puddle conditions to prevent water from coming in over the ankle collar. Remember, 'waterproof' typically refers to the shoe itself, not necessarily submersion above the ankle.

Verify you have the correct size and width. Ensure your socks are appropriate (moisture-wicking, seamless, and well-fitting). Give the shoes a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, check lacing for pressure points or consider alternative insoles if the issue is underfoot.

Ensure the Missiongrip™ outsole is clean of excessive mud, dirt, or debris that might reduce traction. Check the tread pattern for signs of wear. Adjust your stride and foot placement on particularly challenging or smooth surfaces. Remember, no shoe provides absolute grip on all surfaces, especially extremely slick ones like wet, smooth rock.

Over time, the cushioning and Speedboard® can compress and lose some of their initial responsiveness, especially with high mileage. This is normal wear and tear. Ensure regular cleaning and proper drying. Info needed: [Expected lifespan/mileage for optimal performance before cushioning compression becomes noticeable].

Allow shoes to air dry thoroughly after each use. Remove insoles to dry separately. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Avoid leaving damp shoes in enclosed spaces like gym bags.
