Designed for trail runners who demand performance in diverse conditions, the On Cloudvista 2 Waterproof shoes offer exceptional versatility and comfort, especially on wet and uneven terrains. While specifically engineered for trails, their adaptive cushioning and robust grip ensure a smoother, more responsive experience. These shoes blend waterproof protection with enhanced underfoot smoothness, making them a reliable companion for all your off-road adventures, though their specialized design means they excel most when off the pavement.

Missiongrip Outsole: Offers unparalleled traction and stability on uneven ground, including rocky trails and bumpy fields, ensuring secure footing.
True-to-Size Fit: Adjusted design provides a secure and supportive fit, ensuring feet feel locked in for better, faster runs.
Versatile Performance: A technical blend of style and high performance, equally at home on both dry and wet trails across varying terrains.
All-Weather Versatility: Waterproof technology allows for consistent performance in wet and muddy conditions, expanding running opportunities.
Enhanced Comfort: Softer Helion superfoam and a higher stack height deliver a notably smoother and more cushioned ride, reducing impact.
Superior Grip: Missiongrip outsole provides excellent, multi-directional traction on diverse and challenging trail surfaces, preventing slips.
Responsive Feel: The re-engineered Speedboard contributes significant rebound, offering a more energetic and efficient running experience.
Secure, Supportive Fit: An adjusted, true-to-size fit ensures the foot remains stable and secure, crucial for uneven terrains.
Specialized for Trails: Primarily optimized for off-road environments; while versatile, they may not offer the same lightweight efficiency or road feel as dedicated road running shoes.
Breathability Consideration: The waterproof membrane, while protective, can sometimes lead to a slight reduction in overall breathability compared to non-waterproof models, especially in warmer conditions.

The On Cloudvista 2 Waterproof shoes are engineered for dynamic trail running, offering a seamless experience whether you're navigating technical mountain paths or softer forest floors. The Helion superfoam cushioning effectively absorbs impact, transforming rocky descents into smoother glides, while the increased stack height adds a layer of protection and comfort essential for longer runs. During ascents or when navigating tricky root systems, the two-pronged Speedboard activates, providing a noticeable spring in your step and efficiently returning energy for a more responsive push-off.
On wet, muddy trails or through shallow streams, the waterproof technology keeps your feet dry and comfortable, preventing blisters and discomfort. This allows runners to maintain focus on their form and the terrain, rather than worrying about soggy socks. The Missiongrip outsole is a standout feature, providing aggressive, multi-directional traction that bites into loose dirt, grips slick rocks, and stabilizes your stride across uneven fields. For example, tackling a steep, gravelly incline, the grip ensures minimal slippage, while on a damp, leaf-covered path, it maintains reliable contact. The true-to-size fit ensures your foot stays securely in place, minimizing internal movement even during quick directional changes or descents, which is crucial for preventing injuries and maintaining agility.
Lacing: Ensure laces are tied securely but not excessively tightly. This allows for natural foot expansion during runs and prevents pressure points. Experiment with different lacing patterns to find the optimal balance of comfort and support for your foot shape.
First Run: For your initial runs, choose a familiar and moderately challenging trail. This allows you to break in the shoes and assess the fit and feel without the added stress of unfamiliar or highly technical terrain.
These shoes are primarily designed for trail running across a wide variety of off-road terrains, including rocky paths, muddy fields, and wet conditions.
Best suited for adult male runners, available in various UK sizes.
Cleaning: After muddy runs, rinse the shoes thoroughly under cold running water to remove loose dirt and debris. Use a soft brush (such as an old toothbrush) to gently scrub away stubborn mud from the upper and outsole. Avoid using harsh detergents or chemicals.
Drying: Allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, fireplaces, direct sunlight) as this can damage the materials, adhesives, and waterproof membrane. Stuffing the shoes with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Waterproofing Maintenance: Regular cleaning helps maintain the integrity of the waterproof membrane. Avoid machine washing, as it can compromise the shoe's structure and its waterproof properties. If water repellency diminishes over time, consider applying a footwear-specific, DWR-safe re-waterproofing spray.
