On Cloud 6 WP - Trainers - Cloud - UK 11.5

While the On Cloud 6 WP trainers are designed as waterproof running shoes with 'all-day performance and support,' they are primarily oriented towards comfort and versatility for daily wear and light to moderate running. For specialized competitive running, you might consider models focused on speed and minimal weight.

Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For tougher stains, you can use a mild shoe cleaner designed for synthetic materials. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

The '8mm drop' refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot of the shoe's sole. This measurement influences your foot strike and running dynamics, with an 8mm drop generally providing a balanced feel for many runners.

ZeroGravity CloudTec® is On's proprietary cushioning technology featuring individual 'Cloud' elements that compress upon impact, offering a soft landing, and then lock firm to provide a powerful, explosive take-off. This creates the signature 'running on clouds' sensation.

The waterproof membrane will protect your feet from rain, slush, and wet conditions. However, the Cloud 6 WP trainers are not specifically insulated for extreme cold or deep snow. For very cold winter conditions, you might need additional thermal socks or a shoe specifically designed for cold weather insulation.

Yes, On has incorporated sustainability into the Cloud 6 WP. The ZeroGravity foam in the midsole includes bio-attributed materials sourced from renewable resources like waste cooking oil. Additionally, selected colourways are dope-dyed, a process that significantly reduces water usage during manufacturing.

The tighter structure mesh in the upper is designed not only to enhance the shoe's waterproof properties but also to contribute to its overall durability, offering robust protection against daily wear and tear while maintaining breathability.

Ensure the shoes are clean from dirt and debris, which can compromise the waterproof membrane. Make sure there are no physical tears. If the outer fabric is saturated, it might feel damp even if water isn't penetrating; consider using a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray on the outer material.

Check the lacing to ensure it's not too tight or too loose, allowing for proper foot movement and circulation. Ensure the shoe size is correct and consider replacing the sockliner if it shows significant wear, as this can impact cushioning.

This can sometimes occur with new shoes or on certain surfaces. Check for any small stones or debris trapped in the outsole pods. Ensure the laces are securely tied, as loose laces can sometimes cause friction-related noises.

Allow for a break-in period, as new materials may need to mold to your foot. Adjust lacing patterns, ensuring pressure is evenly distributed. If discomfort persists, verify that the size is correct, as an improper fit can lead to various issues.
