The On Cloudrock Low WP is engineered for optimal performance on diverse hiking trails. Its low-cut design promotes agility, allowing you to move quickly and confidently across varied landscapes. The Missiongrip™ Outsole is a standout feature, providing exceptional traction on everything from wet roots and slippery rocks to loose gravel and muddy paths. This ensures a secure footing, reducing the risk of slips and falls. The Plush Helion™ Superfoam Midsole delivers consistent cushioning throughout your hike, making long distances feel more manageable and reducing strain on your feet and joints. This comfort is paired with the protective elements like the Durable Toe Cap & TPU Mudguard, which guard against impacts from trail debris. For unpredictable weather, the Waterproof Membrane is crucial, keeping your feet dry during rain showers, stream crossings, or dewy mornings, allowing you to focus on the trail ahead. The X-Shaped Speedboard® contributes to stability and offers a responsive feel, adapting to uneven terrain and helping to propel you forward. These boots are ideal for day hikes, fast-paced treks, and multi-day adventures where protection, agility, and comfort are paramount.
Getting Started & Fit:
Lacing: Ensure proper lacing for a secure and comfortable fit. Start by loosening laces completely, then tighten from the toes upwards, ensuring even tension across the foot. Experiment with different lacing techniques to relieve pressure points.
Socks: Always wear appropriate hiking socks. Good quality merino wool or synthetic blend socks wick moisture and provide extra cushioning, complementing the boot's comfort features.
Compatibility:
The Cloudrock Low WP is best suited for mixed terrain hiking, including dirt trails, rocky paths, and light scrambling.
Its waterproof design makes it ideal for wet conditions, light rain, and crossing small streams.
Suitable for day hikes and multi-day trekking where agility and protection are prioritized. It's designed for adults of all genders seeking reliable performance on the trail.
Care & Maintenance:
Cleaning: After each hike, gently brush off loose dirt and debris from the Recycled Polyester Upper and Missiongrip™ Outsole. For tougher mud or stains, wipe the boots with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
Drying: Allow your boots to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight). Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Storage: Store your boots in a cool, dry place. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and material degradation.
Waterproof Membrane Care: Info needed: Specific recommendations for refreshing or maintaining the waterproof membrane over time, beyond basic cleaning.
