The On Cloudrock Low WP hiking shoes excel in offering a confident and comfortable experience across diverse trail conditions. On rocky ascents or muddy paths, the upgraded Missiongrip™ outsole digs in, providing secure footing, while the plush Helion™ superfoam keeps your feet comfortable mile after mile. The X-shaped Speedboard® contributes to a natural, efficient stride, making uphill climbs feel less strenuous and descents more controlled.
Thanks to its 100% waterproof membrane, you can confidently navigate through puddles, wet grass, or unexpected rain showers, keeping your feet dry and warm. The durable toe cap and TPU mudguard are crucial for protection, deflecting impacts from roots and rocks. These shoes are particularly suited for single-day hikes where agility and speed are valued, providing enough support for varied terrain without the bulk often associated with heavier hiking boots. The low-cut design enhances mobility, making them a great choice for hikers who prefer a nimble feel.
**Initial Setup: **
Lacing: Ensure laces are securely tied to provide a snug fit without being overly tight, allowing for natural foot flexion. The 'new upper and collar construction' is designed to reduce pressure points, so a comfortable initial fit is expected.
First Use: While designed for 'out-of-the-box comfort', consider a short, easy walk to acclimate to the shoes before tackling a challenging trail. This allows the shoes to mold to your feet.
**Compatibility: **
Terrain: Ideal for 'mixed terrain' and 'all terrain', including rocky paths, dirt trails, and light mud. The Missiongrip™ outsole is specifically engineered for this versatility.
Hike Type: Best suited for 'single-day hikes' and 'fast hikes' where agility and lightweight performance are key.
Weather: The '100% waterproof membrane' ensures compatibility with wet and rainy conditions.
**Care Instructions: **
Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt and debris with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, which can damage the materials and waterproof membrane.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can degrade materials and adhesives.
Waterproofing Maintenance: Periodically re-treat the outer fabric with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray designed for waterproof footwear to maintain the beading effect of water, complementing the internal waterproof membrane. Ensure shoes are clean and dry before application.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not store them compressed or with heavy items on top to maintain their shape.
