The On Cloudvista 2 Waterproof Trail Running Shoe is designed for trail runners seeking a versatile, comfortable, and reliable companion for mixed-terrain adventures. Its re-engineered cushioning and aggressive grip offer smooth transitions and sure-footed confidence across varying surfaces, though runners tackling extremely technical or muddy conditions might seek a shoe with even more specialized lug patterns.

Speedboard Stability: A dynamic Speedboard insert provides energetic rebound, converting impact into forward momentum for a more efficient and responsive running experience.

Missiongrip Rubber Outsole with Aggressive Lugs: Features an ultra-sticky rubber compound combined with strategically placed, aggressive lugs for superior traction and stability on both wet and dry, uneven terrain.
Lightweight Design: Weighing 305g, this shoe offers robust trail protection without feeling bulky, contributing to agility and reduced fatigue over longer distances.
Helion Superfoam Midsole: Incorporates On's proprietary Helion superfoam for a balance of soft cushioning and responsive energy return.

Whether you're navigating winding forest paths, loose gravel sections, or moderately rocky ridgelines, the Cloudvista 2 Waterproof provides a balanced blend of cushioning and responsiveness. The Missiongrip outsole ensures reliable traction, allowing you to maintain speed and confidence on uneven and potentially slippery surfaces. The integrated waterproof membrane means you can splash through puddles or encounter unexpected rain without discomfort, keeping your focus on the run. The Speedboard actively propels you forward, making ascents feel more efficient and descents more controlled. Its lighter weight contributes to a feeling of agility, making it an excellent choice for longer distances or quicker paces where comfort and efficiency are paramount. This shoe excels as a daily trail trainer and is well-suited for various trail conditions, offering a smooth, flowing experience rather than an overly aggressive, stiff one.
Lacing: Before your first run, ensure laces are snug but not overtightened. Use the eyelets to customize fit, aiming for a secure feel without pressure points.
Initial Fit: Wear them around the house to confirm comfort and fit before heading out on a run. Ensure adequate toe room.
Terrain: Ideal for mixed trail conditions, including packed dirt, gravel, moderate rocky sections, and wet environments. Suitable for daily training, longer trail runs, and even light hiking.
Runner Profile: Designed for runners who prioritize versatility, comfort, and waterproof protection on a variety of trails. The 6mm heel drop is generally versatile for many foot strikes.
Cleaning: After each use, gently brush off loose dirt and debris from the upper and outsole. For stubborn stains, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue. Do not submerge completely if possible, to preserve the inner materials.
Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or dryers). Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the waterproof membrane, adhesives, and materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odor and mildew.
Waterproofing Maintenance: While waterproof, regular cleaning helps maintain the integrity of the membrane. Info needed: [Check manufacturer's specific DWR care instructions, if applicable, for restoring outer water repellency.]
