The On Running Cloud 6 Waterproof shoes are engineered for versatility, making them an excellent choice for a variety of activities and conditions. They are particularly well-suited for:
Running in Wet Conditions: Their primary strength lies in their waterproof membrane, which allows you to run through rain, puddles, and damp trails without concerns of soggy feet. The CloudTec cushioning continues to perform, absorbing impact effectively even on slick surfaces.
Daily Commutes: Ideal for walking or light jogging to work or errands, ensuring your feet stay dry and comfortable regardless of sudden weather changes.

Extended Wear: The combination of the new sockliner, wider opening, and Zero-Gravity CloudTec cushioning ensures comfort for long durations, whether you're logging miles or spending a day on your feet.
Imagine a morning run where the weather is unpredictable. You start on dry pavement, transition to a damp park path, and encounter a few puddles. The Cloud 6 Waterproof shoes will keep your feet dry throughout, while the Speedboard provides that responsive push you need, and the CloudTec ensures your landing remains soft and protected.
Getting started with your On Running Cloud 6 Waterproof shoes is straightforward:

These shoes are highly versatile and compatible with:
Running Surfaces: Roads, pavements, light trails, gravel paths, and mixed urban environments.
Activities: Daily running, walking, commuting, light hiking, and general active casual wear.
Weather Conditions: Primarily designed for wet, damp, and cool conditions, but also comfortable in dry weather (though slightly less breathable than non-waterproof models).
Proper care extends the life and maintains the performance of your waterproof shoes:
Initial Cleaning: After each use, especially in muddy or dirty conditions, knock off any loose dirt or debris from the outsole and upper.
Hand Washing: Gently clean the upper with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and a mild soap (e.g., diluted dish soap) mixed with cold water. Avoid harsh detergents.
Do Not Submerge: Do not fully submerge the shoes in water, as this can compromise internal materials and adhesives.
Rinse Gently: Rinse the shoes carefully with cold water, ensuring all soap residue is removed.
Air Dry: Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or other artificial heat sources, as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane, adhesives, and material integrity.
Maintain Waterproofing: While the internal membrane is waterproof, the outer material's water repellency can degrade over time. Periodically apply a suitable waterproof spray specifically designed for footwear textiles to help bead water off the surface.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.
