The On Cloudrock Low WP is engineered for optimal performance on single-day hiking adventures across diverse landscapes. Its combination of features makes it a reliable companion from damp forest trails to rocky paths.
Trail Versatility: The Missiongrip™ Outsole provides confident traction, allowing you to confidently navigate slippery roots, loose gravel, and uneven surfaces. This makes it ideal for trails that transition between different types of ground.
Weather Resistance: With its integrated Waterproof Membrane, your feet remain dry during unexpected rain showers, dew-covered mornings, or when traversing shallow streams. This enhances comfort and prevents blisters caused by dampness.
Comfort on the Move: The Helion™ Superfoam delivers a balance of softness and responsiveness, cushioning impacts without feeling sluggish. This ensures comfort throughout longer day hikes, reducing foot fatigue.
Agile Support: The X-shaped Speedboard® works to stabilize your foot while also promoting a natural, energetic stride. This allows for quick, agile movements, whether you're climbing an incline or descending a technical section.
Protection: The reinforced toe cap and TPU mudguard safeguard your feet from bumps and scrapes against rocks and debris, extending the life of the shoe during active use.
For instance, imagine a morning hike through a misty woodland, followed by an ascent on a rocky path. The Cloudrock Low WP's waterproof feature keeps your feet dry through the wet undergrowth, while the Missiongrip™ provides secure footing on the slick rocks. The Helion™ superfoam ensures your feet feel fresh even after several hours on the trail. This shoe excels in conditions where you need reliable weather protection, durable grip, and responsive cushioning for moderate distances.
Using your On Cloudrock Low WP sneakers is straightforward:
Lacing: Ensure laces are securely tied to provide a snug, comfortable fit without being overly tight. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find what best suits your foot shape and hiking style.
Break-in Period: While often comfortable out of the box, it's recommended to wear them on shorter walks before a long hike to allow the shoes to fully adapt to your feet.
Terrain: These sneakers are specifically Suited To: Mixed Terrain, making them versatile for a wide range of single-day hiking paths, from forest floors to rocky ascents.
Socks: For optimal comfort and moisture management, pair them with technical hiking socks made from wool or synthetic blends. Avoid cotton socks, which retain moisture.
Activity: Ideal for single-day hikes, light backpacking, fastpacking, and trail walking where agility and waterproofing are key.
Proper care will extend the lifespan and maintain the performance of your Cloudrock Low WP sneakers:
Cleaning: After each use, especially on muddy trails, remove loose dirt by tapping the shoes together. Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe down the Recycled Polyester & TPU Upper and outsole.
Drying: Allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage materials and adhesives. You can remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Avoid Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or solvents, as these can compromise the waterproof membrane and other materials.
