The On Running Cloudhorizon Waterproof Off-Road Running Shoes are designed for outdoor enthusiasts seeking comfort, grip, and all-weather protection on moderate terrain. With their signature CloudTec cushioning, waterproof membrane, and robust Missiongrip outsole, these shoes provide a smooth, cushioned ride and reliable traction, though their specialized waterproof nature might make them less ideal for extremely hot, dry climates where maximum breathability is preferred.

The On Running Cloudhorizon Waterproof shoes are engineered to deliver a balanced performance across various outdoor scenarios, particularly on moderate trails and in changeable weather. The combination of CloudTec Phase® technology and Helion Superfoam ensures a highly cushioned experience, absorbing impact effectively during descents and providing energy return on ascents. This makes them ideal for longer hiking adventures or extended off-road runs where comfort is paramount.
The Missiongrip rubber outsole shines on wet, muddy, or uneven surfaces, offering dependable traction to prevent slips. For instance, navigating a forest trail after rain or traversing a damp, rocky path will feel secure and stable. Their waterproof membrane means stream crossings or unexpected downpours won't leave your feet soaked, allowing you to maintain focus on your activity without discomfort. While built for performance, their sleek, neutral grey and black design also makes them a stylish and comfortable option for casual outings or urban exploration on days with unpredictable forecasts.
Lacing: Ensure laces are snug but not overly tight, allowing for natural foot flexion. Adjust the lacing system to achieve your optimal fit, supporting the midfoot without restricting circulation.
Initial Wear: Before tackling long runs or hikes, wear the shoes around your home for a short period to allow them to conform to your feet and identify any pressure points.
Terrain: Best suited for moderate off-road trails, forest paths, gravel roads, and mixed urban/trail environments.
Weather: Ideal for damp, wet, and cool conditions due to their waterproof construction, providing reliable protection against rain and puddles.
Activities: Designed for off-road running, hiking, trail walking, and general outdoor wear where comfort and weather protection are desired.
Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy conditions, brush off any loose dirt and debris. Hand wash the shoes with a mild soap and cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents or putting them in a washing machine, as this can damage the waterproof membrane and materials.
Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never use direct heat sources like radiators, hair dryers, or tumble dryers, as high heat can compromise the integrity of the waterproof membrane and adhesives.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent the growth of odor-causing bacteria and mildew.
