FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for rocky terrain?
Yes, the Missiongrip™ technology and durable construction make them suitable for standard hiking trails, including rocky paths and gravel.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Hand washing with a soft brush and mild soap is the safest way to clean the shoes and preserve their waterproof integrity.
Are these true to size?
On Running shoes generally follow standard sizing; however, since hiking often involves thicker socks, some users prefer a half-size larger than their dress shoes.
Do I need to apply a waterproofing spray?
While the shoes come with a factory-applied treatment, you can re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for synthetic footwear after heavy use to maintain surface beading.
Can these be used for road running?
While they are versatile, they are optimized for trails. Using them primarily on pavement may wear down the specialized traction lugs faster than expected.
Troubleshooting
Waterproofing appears less effective over time
Dirt and residue can clog the pores of the waterproof membrane. Clean the shoes thoroughly with a specialized cleaner to restore surface water repellency.
Foot slipping inside the shoe during descents
Adjust your lacing tension. You can try a 'runner's knot' or lock-lacing technique to secure the heel more firmly in the back of the shoe.
Excessive heat buildup during hikes
Wear lighter, breathable moisture-wicking socks to assist the shoe in regulating temperature during warm weather.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your On Cloudhorizon Waterproof Hiking Shoes, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: Wear your shoes on shorter walks around your neighborhood before attempting long-distance treks to allow the material to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt after each hike using a soft brush. If the shoes are heavily soiled, rinse with cool water and mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the waterproof membrane.
- Compatibility: These trainers are designed for standard hiking socks. For optimal performance in cold or wet conditions, pair them with moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool socks to maximize the internal climate control.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area to prevent mildew buildup within the fabric.
