The On Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof running shoe is designed for runners who seek reliable support and comfort across various weather conditions. Its key advantage lies in its waterproof protection combined with an improved sole that prevents stones from getting stuck, ensuring a smoother run. While offering excellent all-weather performance, users should be aware that the waterproofing might slightly impact breathability in very warm climates.
Excellent waterproof protection for all-weather running.
Sustainable upper made from 100% recycled mesh.
Revolutionary sole design minimizes stone trapping for smoother runs.
Provides significant support and cushioning for comfort.
Durable construction suitable for consistent use.
May offer less breathability than non-waterproof versions in hot, humid weather.
Potentially slightly heavier due to waterproofing technology.
Initial feel might be stiffer compared to non-waterproof, highly flexible shoes.
Specific sole grip might not be optimized for extreme, technical trail terrains.

Lacing: Ensure a snug, secure fit without being too tight. Utilize all eyelets for optimal ankle support. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you experience pressure points.
Break-In Period: While comfortable from the start, allow for a short break-in period (e.g., a few shorter runs) for the shoes to fully adapt to your foot shape.
Terrain: Ideal for road running, paved paths, and light, non-technical trails where waterproof protection is beneficial.
Runner Type: Suitable for runners seeking support, cushioning, and all-weather versatility. Great for daily trainers and those with neutral to moderate overpronation.
Weather: Designed specifically for wet, damp, or rainy conditions. Can be used in dry weather, but may feel warmer than non-waterproof alternatives.
Cleaning: After a run in muddy or wet conditions, gently remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Hand wash with cold water and a mild soap. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the waterproof membrane and materials.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers) as this can deform materials and compromise waterproofing. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odors or mildew.
Waterproofing Longevity: The factory waterproofing is durable. If, over time, you notice water absorption on the outer fabric (i.e., 'wetting out'), you can apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for waterproof footwear to revive its performance. Always follow the DWR product's instructions.
