The On Cloudvista 2 Waterproof Trainers are engineered for adventurers and trail runners seeking reliable performance across diverse outdoor environments. Their primary benefit lies in offering robust waterproofing and superior comfort, ensuring your feet stay dry and supported on challenging trails. A minor consideration is that the waterproof membrane, while protective, might slightly reduce breathability compared to non-waterproof alternatives. These trainers combine advanced cushioning with exceptional traction, making them an ideal choice for varied outdoor pursuits.

The On Cloudvista 2 Waterproof Trainers excel in environments where weather conditions or terrain demand reliable protection and grip. For trail runners, the Helion superfoam provides a cushioned, responsive ride that minimizes fatigue over long distances, while the Missiongrip outsole ensures aggressive traction on loose dirt, rocks, and mud. Imagine navigating a muddy forest path after a rain shower: the waterproof upper keeps your feet completely dry, and the robust outsole prevents slips.
Hikers will appreciate the durable construction and stable platform, making these shoes a solid choice for day hikes on varied terrain. The comfort from the superfoam makes them suitable for extended wear, reducing foot fatigue on longer excursions.
Even for urban explorers who might transition from city streets to park trails, the Cloudvista 2 offers a blend of comfort and protection. They are particularly useful in damp or rainy climates where an unexpected downpour could otherwise cut short an outdoor activity. The all-terrain design means you're prepared for whatever path your adventure takes.
Lacing: Ensure laces are snug but not too tight. Use the provided lacing system to secure your foot comfortably, preventing excessive movement inside the shoe while allowing for natural foot flex.
Break-In Period: While comfortable from the start, allow for a short break-in period over a few short runs or walks to fully adapt the shoes to your foot shape and gait.
Sizing: These trainers are available in standard UK adult male sizes (e.g., UK 7, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 11, 12). Refer to On's official sizing chart for precise measurements if unsure.
Activity: Designed for trail running, hiking, and general outdoor use. Suitable for varied terrains including dirt, gravel, rocks, and wet surfaces.
Cleaning: After use, especially on muddy trails, gently rinse off excessive mud and dirt with cold water. For more thorough cleaning, use a soft brush and a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh detergents.
Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the waterproof membrane and adhesives. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odor and mildew.
Maintenance: Periodically check the outsole for embedded debris that could affect traction. Inspect the upper for any signs of wear or damage to the waterproof layer.
