On Cloudrock Low Waterproof Hiking Shoes - Black - UK 11

The On Cloudrock Low Waterproof Hiking Shoes are primarily designed for lightweight, one-day hikes. While they offer excellent cushioning and support, for multi-day trips with heavy packs, you might consider higher-cut boots with more ankle support for added stability.

The shoes feature an integrated 100% waterproof membrane. To maintain its effectiveness, regularly clean the shoes to remove dirt and mud from the exterior fabrics. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, as these can compromise the membrane's integrity. Always allow them to air dry naturally.

These shoes are best suited for mixed and technical terrain, including rocky paths, dirt trails, and light to moderate inclines. Their Missiongrip outsole provides reliable traction on both dry and wet surfaces, making them versatile for varying conditions on day hikes.

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the waterproof membrane, adhesives, and materials. Always clean your shoes by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow them to air dry.

On Cloudrock Low Waterproof Hiking Shoes generally run true to UK sizing. However, foot shapes vary, so it's always best to try them on, ideally with the type of socks you'll wear for hiking, to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.

As low-cut hiking shoes, they offer good flexibility and mobility around the ankle. While they provide some support for general trail walking, they do not offer the rigid ankle support found in mid- or high-cut hiking boots. For uneven, unstable terrain where maximum ankle support is crucial, a higher-cut option might be preferred.

First, check your socks; ensure they are moisture-wicking synthetic or wool, not cotton. If wearing gaiters, ensure they are properly sealed. Prolonged exposure to very heavy rain or deep puddles can sometimes allow water to enter over the shoe collar or through the top opening.

This could be due to sizing, lacing, or insufficient break-in time. Re-evaluate your lacing technique to ensure a secure but comfortable fit. Try adjusting your socks or wearing them on short walks to allow them to conform to your feet. If discomfort persists, check your size.

Clean the Missiongrip outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be reducing traction. Inspect the treads for excessive wear, especially if the shoes have seen extensive use. Adjust your foot placement and technique for challenging surfaces.

Allow your shoes to air out completely after each use, especially if they got wet inside. Remove insoles occasionally for separate drying. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors.

Ensure the exterior fabric is clean, as dirt can absorb water and mask the membrane's effectiveness. Check for any visible tears or punctures in the upper material. If water ingress is significant and unexpected, contact customer support or the retailer for further assistance.
