These shoes are perfectly suited for:
Day Hiking: From local park trails to more challenging mountain paths.
Fast Packing (light): For quick, light trips where speed and agility are prioritized over heavy loads.
Mixed Conditions: Excellent for trails that transition between dry and wet, or smooth and technical sections.
Lacing: Ensure your shoes are laced securely but not overly tight. This helps prevent foot slippage and potential blisters.
Sock Choice: Pair with high-quality hiking socks designed to wick moisture for maximum comfort and blister prevention, especially when utilizing the waterproof feature.
Terrain Awareness: While highly capable, always be mindful of extremely treacherous conditions like icy slopes or unstable scree fields.
The On Cloudrock Low Waterproof Hiking Shoes require no complex setup. Simply lace them up to your preferred snugness. The new upper and collar construction is designed for out-of-box comfort, minimizing break-in time.
Terrain: These shoes are highly versatile and suitable for all terrain, offering reliable performance on mixed and technical paths.
Activity: Ideal for single-day hikes and light fast-packing.
Footwear Accessories: Compatible with gaiters for additional protection in very wet or muddy conditions, preventing debris or water from entering over the collar.
Proper care extends the lifespan and maintains the performance of your hiking shoes:
Cleaning:
After each use, knock off any loose dirt or mud.
For a deeper clean, use a soft brush or cloth with lukewarm water and a mild soap. Gently scrub the exterior.
Do NOT machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the waterproof membrane and materials.
Drying:
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature.
Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause materials to crack or shrink.
You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
Waterproof Maintenance:
The 100% waterproof membrane is integrated within the shoe. For external fabric repellency (DWR coating, if present), you may re-apply a DWR treatment periodically if you notice water no longer beads off the surface. Always use products specifically designed for breathable waterproof footwear.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew growth.
Inspection: Regularly inspect the outsole for embedded debris or excessive wear, and the upper for any signs of damage.
