FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for serious long-distance running?

While the Cloud 6 Waterproof offers excellent cushioning and support for daily activities and light runs, they are primarily designed for versatility, comfort, and weather protection. For serious long-distance or performance-focused running, you might consider other specialized On Running models.

How do I know if the shoes are truly waterproof?

The shoes feature an integrated waterproof membrane designed to keep water out. You'll notice water beads up and rolls off the surface. If water soaks through quickly, ensure the outer material is clean, and check for any damage. The waterproofing is effective against rain and puddles, but not designed for full submersion.

Can I use these shoes in hot weather?

Yes, you can, but like all waterproof footwear, the breathability is reduced compared to non-waterproof models. Your feet might feel warmer in very hot, humid conditions. They are best suited for mild to cold temperatures or wet conditions.

What makes the Zero-Gravity foam 'eco-conscious'?

The bio-attributed Zero-Gravity foam used in the midsole incorporates renewable materials, such as waste cooking oil, in its production. This helps reduce reliance on purely petroleum-based materials, offering a more sustainable component.

Is the sizing consistent with other On Running shoes?

On Running generally aims for consistent sizing. However, due to the new sockliner and wider opening, some users may find the fit slightly more accommodating than older Cloud models. It's always recommended to try them on or refer to On's specific size guide if you are unsure.

How should I clean the waterproof upper without damaging it?

Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid scrubbing too vigorously or using harsh chemicals, which can compromise the waterproof membrane and outer fabric. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Troubleshooting

Feet feel damp despite waterproof feature.

Ensure pants or socks are not wicking water down into the shoe from above the collar. Also, clean the outer material; dirt can reduce its water-repellent properties. If the issue persists, inspect for tears or damage to the waterproof membrane.

Shoes feel less cushioned or responsive over time.

Cushioning materials can compact over extensive use. Ensure you're giving the shoes time to 'recover' between uses. For optimal performance, running shoes generally last 300-500 miles, after which cushioning may degrade. Consider replacement if wear is significant.

Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoes.

Remove insoles and air them out regularly. You can also sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out. Ensure shoes are thoroughly dried after each use to prevent bacterial growth. Replace insoles if odor persists.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof protection for all-weather use.
  • Superior comfort due to CloudTec® cushioning and updated design elements.
  • Responsive support for daily activities and light running.
  • Eco-friendly materials in the midsole reflect a commitment to sustainability.
  • Enhanced traction specifically designed for wet conditions.
  • Easy step-in with a wider opening and new sockliner for convenience.

Cons

  • Reduced breathability compared to non-waterproof models, potentially making them less ideal for very hot, dry climates.
  • Weight: At 296.3g (for UK 9), they are not the lightest option for performance-focused running.
  • May feel less flexible than standard mesh trainers due to the tighter-structure mesh and waterproof membrane.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The On Running Cloud 6 Waterproof shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply lace them up to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. The wider entrance and new sockliner are designed for easy step-in.

Compatibility

These shoes are designed for adult men (specifically UK Size 9, Black colorway as per this model). They are suitable for a wide range of activities including:

  • Daily walking and commuting
  • Casual urban exploration
  • Light to moderate running in wet conditions
  • General everyday wear

The polyester upper and rubber sole construction make them durable for varied use.

Care & Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and performance of your On Running Cloud 6 Waterproof shoes:

  1. Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive materials.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the waterproof membrane and materials. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  3. Waterproofing (Periodic): While the shoes come with an integrated waterproof membrane, periodically treating the outer material with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray can help maintain its water repellency, preventing it from 'wetting out' and ensuring optimal breathability.
  4. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  5. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the shoe's construction and waterproof properties.
  6. Insoles: Remove insoles periodically for airing to prevent odor buildup and prolong freshness.
