The On Running Cloudvista 2 Waterproof trail running shoes are engineered for performance on varied natural terrains. Their primary benefit is the waterproof upper, which is crucial when encountering puddles, stream crossings, or unexpected rain showers on the trail. This feature ensures your feet remain dry, contributing significantly to comfort and preventing blisters during long runs.
The Helion Superfoam midsole delivers a remarkably soft yet responsive ride. This is vital for absorbing impact over uneven terrain, allowing for sustained comfort and reducing fatigue, whether you're on a short, fast loop or an all-day adventure. You'll notice a springy feel that encourages forward momentum without sacrificing ground feel.
The tough rubber outsole provides multi-directional traction, giving you confidence on everything from loose dirt and gravel to slippery roots and wet rocks. The lug pattern is specifically designed to shed mud, maintaining grip even in challenging, mucky conditions. The secure lace closure and padded collar work together to keep your foot firmly in place, minimizing internal movement and enhancing stability, which is critical when navigating technical sections or steep descents. These shoes are best suited for runners who frequently encounter wet or unpredictable trail conditions and prioritize comfort and protection over pure speed in technical terrain.
Your Cloudvista 2 Waterproof shoes are ready to go right out of the box. Simply:
Lace Up Securely: Ensure laces are snug but not too tight, allowing for comfortable ankle movement. Use a double knot if you find laces come undone frequently.
Break-In Period: While comfortable from the start, we recommend a few shorter runs before tackling a long-distance trail to allow the shoes to fully conform to your feet.
Best Use: Ideal for trail running, light hiking, and walking on varied natural surfaces including dirt paths, gravel trails, and moderate technical terrain.
Weather: Excellent for wet, damp, or rainy conditions due to their waterproof construction.
Not Recommended For: Extreme mountaineering, very technical rock climbing, or primarily road running, where dedicated road shoes would offer better efficiency and cushioning.
Proper care extends the life and performance of your shoes:
Cleaning Mud and Dirt: After each run, remove loose dirt and mud by gently tapping the soles together or using a soft brush.
Wipe Clean: Use a damp cloth with mild soap (if necessary) to wipe down the upper and midsole. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Rinsing: If very muddy, you can lightly rinse the shoes under cool running water. Do not submerge for extended periods.
Drying: Air dry your shoes at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators, dryers, or direct sunlight, as this can damage the waterproof membrane and materials. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can damage the materials and waterproof properties.
