FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for summer?
While the mesh upper offers some breathability for a waterproof shoe, the Cloud 6 Waterproof is primarily designed for cooler, wet conditions. In very hot summer weather, a non-waterproof shoe with maximum ventilation might be more comfortable.
What does 'Zero-Gravity foam' mean?
'Zero-Gravity foam' refers to On Running's proprietary, lightweight, bio-attributed foam used in the midsole. It's engineered to provide exceptional cushioning for soft landings while remaining light enough to give a sensation of 'zero gravity' during your stride, promoting powerful take-offs.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
Yes, the Cloud 6 Waterproof provides ample cushioning and support for various distances, including longer runs, especially when you need protection from the elements. However, individual comfort for long distances can vary, and some runners prefer specialized long-distance trainers for marathons.
How do I ensure the waterproof feature lasts?
Follow the care instructions diligently: avoid machine washing, air dry them naturally, and clean them gently. Avoiding sharp objects that could puncture the membrane will also help preserve the waterproofing.
Is the sizing true to size?
On Running shoes generally run true to size. This specific model is a UK size 6. If you are unsure, it's often recommended to try them on or consult a sizing chart, especially with the 'tighter-structured mesh' potentially feeling snug.
What is the difference between Cloud 6 and Cloud 6 Waterproof?
The main difference is the integrated waterproof membrane in the Cloud 6 Waterproof model, which protects against rain and puddles. The standard Cloud 6 (non-waterproof) would typically offer more ventilation but lacks the water protection.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel damp inside after wearing in the rain.
Ensure water isn't entering from the ankle opening (e.g., from splash-back or inadequate rain gear coverage). Also, check your socks; cotton socks absorb moisture and can make your feet feel damp even if the shoes are dry. Opt for synthetic or wool moisture-wicking socks. Verify there are no punctures or damage to the waterproof membrane from sharp objects.
The shoes feel too snug or uncomfortable.
The 'tighter-structured mesh' is designed for a secure fit, which can feel snug initially. Allow for a short break-in period (a few wears) for the shoe to adapt to your foot. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks, as thick socks can contribute to a tighter feel. If discomfort persists, re-evaluate your sizing.
I'm slipping on wet surfaces despite the rubber pods.
While the connected rubber pods provide reliable traction, no shoe is entirely slip-proof, especially on extremely slick surfaces like ice, wet moss-covered rocks, or highly polished wet floors. Ensure your outsoles are clean and free of embedded debris that could reduce grip. Exercise caution in extreme conditions.
The cushioning doesn't feel as responsive as expected.
The Zero-Gravity foam is designed for responsive cushioning. If it feels less effective, ensure the shoes are appropriately sized for your foot to allow the cushioning elements to function correctly. Factors like body weight and running style can also influence perceived cushioning. The foam's properties are best experienced during dynamic movement.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent Wet Weather Protection: Integrated waterproof membrane keeps feet dry in rain and puddles.
- Superior Comfort: Bio-attributed Zero-Gravity foam provides responsive and lightweight cushioning for prolonged wear.
- Secure and Adaptive Fit: Tighter-structured mesh upper molds to the foot, enhancing stability and comfort.
- Reliable Traction: Connected rubber pods on the outsole offer dependable grip on wet urban and light trail surfaces.
- Lightweight Design: The Zero-Gravity foam contributes to an overall light feel, reducing fatigue.
Cons
- Breathability Trade-off: As with most waterproof shoes, breathability may be slightly reduced compared to non-waterproof models, making them less ideal for very hot conditions.
- Snug Fit: The 'tighter-structured mesh' might feel snug for individuals with wider feet, potentially requiring a break-in period.
- Not for Deep Water Immersion: While waterproof, the design is not intended for complete submersion in deep water, where water could enter from the ankle opening.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
First Use & Setup
No complex setup is required. Simply unbox and put them on. It's recommended to wear them for shorter periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape for optimal comfort.
Compatibility
- Activities: Ideal for road running, urban walking, daily wear, and light trail use in wet or damp conditions.
- Surfaces: Performs best on pavement, asphalt, gravel paths, and light packed dirt trails.
- Weather: Specifically designed for cool to moderate temperatures and wet weather. Less ideal for extreme heat.
Care Instructions
To maintain the performance and longevity of your Cloud 6 Waterproof shoes, follow these simple care guidelines:
- Cleaning: For general dirt and grime, wipe the textile and synthetic upper with a damp cloth. Use a soft brush for more stubborn areas. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), which can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing is NOT recommended as it can damage the waterproof membrane, cushioning, and structural integrity of the shoe.
