The On Cloudrock Low WP Hiking Shoes excel in conditions where waterproofing and reliable traction are paramount. They are ideal for day hikes, multi-day trekking in moderate climates, and navigating trails that feature mud, shallow streams, or unpredictable weather. The low-cut profile offers a blend of trail-runner agility and hiking boot support, making them suitable for fast-paced hiking or exploring less technical terrain. For example, traversing a forest path after heavy rain, crossing small brooks, or hiking on a rocky trail where unexpected puddles are common are all scenarios where these shoes perform optimally. Their durable build means they can withstand abrasive surfaces, while the comfort-focused design reduces fatigue on longer excursions. Remember to pair them with appropriate hiking socks for the best experience.
While On shoes are often comfortable out of the box, it's always recommended to break in new hiking shoes. Wear them for shorter periods around the house or on light walks before embarking on a long hike. This allows the shoes to adapt to your foot shape and reduces the risk of blisters.
These shoes are designed for hiking and outdoor adventures in varied conditions. They are compatible with a range of outdoor activities but are optimized for walking on trails, uneven ground, and in wet environments. Pair them with moisture-wicking hiking socks to enhance comfort and prevent chafing. They perform best with trail-appropriate clothing.
Cleaning: After use, especially if muddy, remove loose dirt by tapping the shoes together or using a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials and adhesives, and compromise the waterproof membrane.
Waterproofing: Over time, the outer Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may wear off. You can re-treat the shoes with a suitable DWR spray specifically designed for waterproof footwear to maintain water beading on the surface. Follow the product instructions carefully.
Storage: Store your Cloudrock Low WP shoes in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight.
Following these care instructions will help maintain the shoes' performance and extend their lifespan.
