The On Running Cloudhorizon Waterproof Running Shoes excel in challenging outdoor environments. Whether you're tackling muddy trails, rocky paths, or running through light rain, these shoes are built to perform.
The Missiongrip™ rubber outsole truly shines on varied terrain, providing confidence-inspiring traction. You'll find yourself maintaining grip on loose gravel, wet roots, and slippery rocks. The aggressive lug pattern ensures stability and prevents slips, making descents and ascents safer and more efficient. The CloudTec® cushioning works in tandem with the Helion™ Superfoam to absorb impact from uneven surfaces, protecting your joints during long training runs.
The integrated waterproof membrane is a game-changer for runs in inclement weather. Puddles, splashes, and light rain are no match, as your feet remain dry and comfortable. This allows you to extend your season and maintain consistency in your training, regardless of the forecast. It's important to pair these with appropriate moisture-wicking socks for optimal comfort.
Beyond performance, the Cloudhorizon offers significant comfort for casual wear. The plush cushioning and supportive fit make them a great choice for long walks, hiking, or simply navigating unpredictable urban weather. Their robust construction provides a sense of security and durability in various settings.
Getting started with your Cloudhorizon shoes is simple:
Lacing: Ensure laces are securely tied to provide a snug, comfortable fit without being too tight. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find what best suits your foot shape and running style.
Break-In Period: While comfortable out of the box, allow a few short runs or walks for the shoes to fully conform to your feet.
These shoes are designed for:
Terrain: Best suited for off-road environments, including trails, gravel paths, and mixed natural surfaces. They provide optimal protection and grip where it's needed most.
Weather: Ideal for wet, damp, or unpredictable weather conditions thanks to their waterproof membrane.
Activities: Perfect for trail running, hiking, walking, and general outdoor activities where protection from elements and robust traction are beneficial.
Proper care extends the life and maintains the performance of your waterproof running shoes:
Cleaning: After use, especially on muddy trails, remove excess dirt by tapping the shoes together. Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and lukewarm water to clean the upper and outsole. Avoid harsh detergents or scrubbing, which can damage the waterproof membrane.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can degrade materials and compromise the waterproof properties. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Waterproofing Maintenance: Over time, the outer DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may wear off. If water starts to soak into the upper fabric instead of beading up, consider applying a shoe-specific DWR spray designed for waterproof breathable materials.
