FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for trail running?

The On Running Cloud 6 Waterproof trainers are suitable for light trail running and off-road walks, especially in damp conditions, due to their waterproof membrane and traction. For highly technical or aggressive trails, you might consider models with more specialized trail features and deeper lug patterns.

How do the speed laces work?

The speed laces feature an elastic cord and a stopper. Simply pull the cord to tighten the shoe to your desired fit, then release the stopper to lock it in place. To loosen, press the stopper button and ease the tension.

What is CloudTec cushioning?

CloudTec is On Running's patented cushioning technology, featuring individual 'clouds' or pods on the outsole that compress upon impact to offer soft landings, then firm up for explosive take-offs, providing a unique responsive ride.

Can I machine wash these shoes?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the waterproof membrane, adhesives, and materials of the shoe. It's best to clean them by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry naturally.

Are these shoes breathable despite being waterproof?

Yes, the waterproof membrane is designed to be breathable, allowing moisture vapor (sweat) to escape while preventing external water from entering. However, in very hot and humid conditions, breathability may still feel slightly different compared to non-waterproof mesh shoes.

What does 'Speedboard' do?

The Speedboard is a liquid-injected plate located between the midsole and upper. It provides stability and acts as a spring, translating the energy from your landing into forward momentum, making your stride more efficient and responsive.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel damp inside after running in rain.

Ensure your socks are not cotton, which can absorb sweat and feel wet. Opt for moisture-wicking synthetic or wool blend socks. Also, check that water isn't entering through the collar opening, especially in heavy downpours, or that the shoes are properly dried after previous use.

Speed laces feel too tight or too loose.

Adjust the speed lace stopper. Pull the elastic lace through the stopper to tighten, or press the stopper button and pull the shoe tongue to loosen. Experiment with the tension until you find a secure yet comfortable fit.

Lack of grip on very wet or icy surfaces.

While the rubber outsole provides good traction, extreme conditions like ice or slick surfaces can still be challenging. Reduce your pace and be cautious. Consider footwear with specialized ice grip features for such conditions.

Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

Like many new shoes, the Cloud 6 Waterproof trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior Weather Protection: Waterproof membrane keeps feet dry in rain and puddles.
  • Exceptional Comfort: Zero-Gravity CloudTec cushioning and updated sockliner provide a plush, comfortable feel for extended wear.
  • Responsive and Energetic Ride: Speedboard and CloudTec work together to deliver a lively and efficient stride.
  • Quick and Secure Fit: Speed laces ensure easy adjustment and a locked-in feel.
  • Enhanced Support: Improved heel construction and a stable platform aid overall foot support.
  • Good Traction: Rubber outsole provides reliable grip on various terrains.

Cons

  • Potential for Reduced Breathability: While breathable, waterproof membranes can sometimes lead to less airflow compared to non-waterproof counterparts in very warm conditions.
  • Speed Laces Preference: Some users may prefer traditional lacing systems for more fine-tuned adjustment or a different aesthetic.
  • Specific Use Case: Optimized for wet conditions; might feel slightly different than a standard running shoe in dry, warm weather.

Setup:

  1. Unpack: Remove your new On Running Cloud 6 Waterproof trainers from their packaging.
  2. Adjust Speed Laces: While the speed laces offer quick entry, take a moment to adjust them to your desired snugness. Pull the loose end to tighten, and use the stopper to secure the fit. Ensure your foot feels secure but not constricted.
  3. Wear: Step into the shoes, enjoying the wider opening and new sockliner designed for easy entry and comfort.

Compatibility:

  • Intended User: Designed for adult males, though their comfort features can appeal broadly.
  • Weather: Specifically engineered for wet and rainy conditions, offering excellent waterproof protection.
  • Activity: Suitable for running, walking, commuting, and general outdoor activities where weather protection is desired.
  • Surfaces: The rubber outsole provides good traction on various urban and light trail surfaces.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy or wet conditions, wipe the shoes clean with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the waterproof membrane and materials. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help retain their shape.
  3. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  4. Maintenance: Regularly check the outsole for embedded debris and the speed laces for any wear.
  5. Waterproof Treatment: While the shoes feature a built-in waterproof membrane, you can periodically apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to the outer material for added protection and to maintain water repellency, especially after extensive use.
