FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for all types of trail running?

The Cloud 6 Waterproof trainers are ideal for light trails and mixed terrain due to their waterproof design and traction. However, for extremely technical, rocky, or muddy trails, you might find a dedicated trail running shoe with deeper lugs and more robust upper protection to be more suitable.

How do the speed laces work, and can they be replaced with regular laces?

The speed laces allow for quick tightening and loosening with a single pull and a toggle mechanism. While designed for convenience, the Cloud 6 Waterproof typically comes with speed laces. Info needed: Check with On Running's customer support or your retailer regarding compatibility with traditional laces, as altering the lacing system might affect fit or warranty.

What is CloudTec® cushioning?

CloudTec® is On Running's signature cushioning system featuring individual 'Cloud' elements that compress horizontally and vertically upon impact. This provides adaptive cushioning that reacts to your unique stride, absorbing shock effectively and then firming up for a powerful push-off.

What is the Speedboard® and what does it do?

The Speedboard® is a liquid-injected plate located between the midsole and the upper. It works by converting the energy from landing into forward momentum, providing a propulsive feeling and added stability, helping you maintain a consistent pace.

How do I ensure the waterproof membrane lasts?

To maximize the lifespan of the waterproof membrane, avoid harsh chemicals for cleaning, air dry thoroughly, and store the shoes properly. Excessive bending or creasing of the material can stress the membrane over time. Regular cleaning of the outer surface also helps prevent dirt from compromising its integrity.

What does 'bio-attributed Zero-Gravity foam' mean?

This refers to the lightweight, highly cushioned foam used in the midsole, which is partially derived from renewable resources rather than solely fossil fuels. It signifies a commitment to more sustainable materials while maintaining the signature lightweight feel and cushioning properties of On's Zero-Gravity foam.

Troubleshooting

My feet are still getting wet.

Check if water is entering from the top opening, especially in heavy rain or deep puddles. Ensure your socks aren't wicking water down into the shoe. Also, inspect the shoe for any visible damage or tears in the waterproof membrane.

The speed laces feel too tight or too loose.

To adjust, pull the laces through the toggle to tighten or loosen as desired. Ensure the toggle is securely clicked into place to maintain tension. Experiment with the tension to find your ideal comfort level.

I'm experiencing discomfort during long runs.

Ensure you have the correct size. The new sockliner and wider opening are designed for comfort, but a proper fit is crucial. Try different lacing techniques to relieve pressure points. Also, consider if your running form or terrain might be contributing to discomfort.

The shoes feel less responsive over time.

Over extended use, the cushioning can naturally compress. Ensure you are cleaning them regularly, as dirt accumulation can stiffen materials. If the issue persists, it may indicate the shoes are nearing the end of their lifespan and cushioning effectiveness.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent Weather Protection: The waterproof membrane ensures feet remain dry in rain or wet conditions.
  • Superior Comfort: Features like a new sockliner, wider opening, and Zero-Gravity foam provide lasting comfort.
  • Responsive & Supportive Ride: CloudTec cushioning and Speedboard technology deliver both responsiveness and essential support.
  • Convenient Lacing: Speed laces allow for quick and easy securing of the fit.
  • Enhanced Stability: Improved heel construction and a grippy rubber outsole contribute to stable performance.
  • Sustainable Material: Midsole made with bio-attributed foam reflects an eco-conscious design.

Cons

  • Breathability Trade-off: As with many waterproof shoes, they may offer less breathability compared to non-waterproof versions, which could lead to warmer feet in hot conditions.
  • Specific Lacing System: While convenient, the speed laces might not suit all users' preferences for adjustability compared to traditional laces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

  1. First Fit: When you first try on your Cloud 6 Waterproof trainers, ensure you have adequate space around your toes and that your heel feels secure.
  2. Lacing Adjustment: Utilize the speed laces to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. Pull to tighten, and use the stopper to secure. You can adjust the tension across the foot to suit your preference.
  3. Break-in Period: While designed for comfort out of the box, a short break-in period on shorter runs or walks can help the shoes conform optimally to your feet.

Compatibility

  • Weather: Ideal for all-weather conditions due to their waterproof construction.
  • Terrain: Best suited for road running, paved paths, urban environments, and light, non-technical trails.
  • Activity: Primarily designed for running, but also excellent for walking, daily wear, and light outdoor activities.

Care & Maintenance

  • Cleaning: To clean your trainers, gently brush off loose dirt. For more stubborn grime, use a soft cloth or brush with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the waterproof membrane and materials. Allow to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Waterproofing: While the shoes feature a durable waterproof membrane, periodically check the outer material for any signs of wear that might compromise waterproofing. You may consider applying a footwear-specific waterproof spray for added protection over time, especially on the textile upper.
  • Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve their materials and shape.
