FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for all types of running?

The On Running Cloud 6 Waterproof shoes are specifically designed for city runs, light road running, and everyday urban activities. While they offer responsive cushioning, they are not intended for aggressive trail running or extreme off-road conditions due to their specific outsole design and urban focus.

How does the waterproofing work?

These shoes feature a fully waterproof membrane integrated into the upper construction. This membrane acts as a barrier, preventing water from entering the shoe from the outside while still allowing moisture vapor (sweat) to escape, helping to keep your feet dry and comfortable.

Can I wear these in warm weather?

Yes, you can wear them in warm weather. While they are waterproof, the membrane is also breathable. However, like any waterproof shoe, they might feel slightly warmer than a non-waterproof, highly ventilated shoe. For optimal comfort in very hot conditions, consider a non-waterproof On Running model.

What is 'Zero-Gravity CloudTec® cushioning'?

`Zero-Gravity CloudTec®` refers to On Running's signature cushioning system. It uses individual 'cloud' elements that compress upon impact to provide soft landings and then lock firm for a powerful push-off, giving a responsive and cushioned ride with minimal weight.

Are these shoes environmentally friendly?

The midsole of the Cloud 6 Waterproof features `bio-attributed Zero-Gravity foam`. This foam is made with renewable materials sourced from ISCC+ certified bio feedstock, such as waste cooking oil, contributing to a more sustainable product.

How do I ensure the best fit?

The Cloud 6 Waterproof has an updated sockliner and a wider opening for an inclusive and comfortable fit. We recommend trying them on with the socks you typically wear. Ensure there's about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe, and that your heel feels secure without excessive slipping.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Machine washing can damage the waterproof membrane, adhesives, and materials. For cleaning, gently brush off dirt and use a soft cloth with mild soap and cold water, then air dry.

Troubleshooting

My feet feel damp or wet inside the shoes.

While the shoes are waterproof, moisture can still enter from the top (e.g., if water splashes over the ankle collar) or build up from sweat if worn for extended periods in warm conditions. Ensure socks are moisture-wicking and check if water is entering from above the waterproof line. If the issue persists, inspect for any damage to the waterproof membrane.

The grip feels less effective than expected.

Regularly check the rubber outsole pods for dirt, mud, or small stones that might be lodged in the grooves, reducing traction. Clean the outsole thoroughly. If the rubber pods show significant wear, performance may be affected over time, indicating a need for replacement.

The shoes feel less responsive or cushioned.

The `CloudTec` cushioning and `Speedboard` are designed for durability, but their performance can be affected by debris or prolonged extreme use. Ensure the shoe is clean. Over extended periods and heavy use, all cushioning materials will naturally compact. If the shoe feels significantly different, consider the mileage and age of the footwear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • All-Weather Protection: Fully waterproof upper keeps feet dry in wet conditions.
  • Superior Comfort: CloudTec cushioning and a new sockliner offer plush, all-day comfort.
  • Responsive Feel: Speedboard technology provides excellent energy return for a dynamic stride.
  • Sustainable Materials: Midsole incorporates bio-attributed foam, reducing environmental impact.
  • Enhanced Grip: Improved rubber outsole pods ensure reliable traction.
  • Versatile Style: Suitable for both active use and casual urban wear.

Cons

  • Urban Focus: Primarily designed for city runs and everyday use, may not be ideal for rugged off-road trails.
  • Breathability Trade-off: While breathable for a waterproof shoe, it might feel warmer than non-waterproof versions in very hot, dry conditions.
  • Specific Fit: The wider opening is inclusive, but individual foot shapes may still find a break-in period beneficial for optimal fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Using your On Running Cloud 6 Waterproof shoes is straightforward:

  1. Lacing: Utilize the traditional lace fastening to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Adjust tension evenly across your foot.
  2. Sock Choice: Pair with moisture-wicking socks to maximize comfort and manage any internal moisture, especially during extended wear or in warmer conditions.
  3. Initial Wear: Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the shoes to conform to your feet and ensure the perfect fit and feel.

Compatibility

  • Surfaces: Best suited for paved roads, sidewalks, light gravel paths, and indoor environments.
  • Weather: Designed for wet weather conditions, including rain and puddles, thanks to their waterproof membrane.
  • Activity: Ideal for daily walking, city running, commuting, and general casual wear. Not recommended for intense trail running or extreme hiking.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Cloud 6 Waterproof shoes:

  • Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt and mud after each use. For tougher stains, use a soft cloth or brush with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or hot water, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and materials.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, which can deform the materials and compromise waterproofing. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Waterproofing Maintenance: While factory-treated, over time, the exterior water repellency might lessen. Consider using a footwear-specific waterproofing spray designed for breathable membranes to refresh this outer layer if needed, though the internal membrane will remain waterproof.
