The On Running Cloud 6 Waterproof shoes are engineered for runners who demand consistent performance regardless of weather conditions. Their waterproof membrane is a game-changer for maintaining dry feet during unexpected downpours or when running through wet urban environments and light trails. This feature ensures comfort and reduces the risk of blisters, allowing you to focus on your pace and distance.
For example, if your training plan calls for a long run on a rainy Saturday, these shoes will provide the necessary protection. The CloudTec cushioning absorbs the impact of each stride, delivering a soft landing that adapts to your unique running style, followed by a powerful push-off. This responsive feel is complemented by the Speedboard technology, which actively propels you forward, making each mile feel more efficient.
The speed laces are particularly useful for quick adjustments before a run or even mid-activity if your foot swells or you need a tighter fit for a technical section. The new sockliner contributes to overall foot comfort, reducing fatigue over extended periods. Finally, the durable rubber outsole provides reliable traction on slick pavements, damp gravel, or muddy paths, giving you confidence and stability in challenging running conditions.
Getting started with your On Running Cloud 6 Waterproof shoes is designed to be simple and quick:
Unpack: Carefully remove the shoes from their packaging.
Lacing Adjustment: The integrated speed laces allow for fast, precise fitting. Pull on the laces to tighten the shoe for a snug feel. To loosen, press the small button on the lace toggle and adjust the laces. Ensure a secure yet comfortable fit without excessive pressure points.
Initial Wear: While On shoes are often comfortable immediately, it's advisable to wear them for shorter distances during your first few outings. This allows the shoes to adapt to your foot's unique contours and ensures optimal comfort for longer runs.
These shoes are designed to meet the needs of specific users and activities:
Gender: Male (Adult)
Activity: Primarily suited for running, including road running, urban runs, and light to moderate trail running.
Conditions: Ideal for wet weather conditions, offering protection from rain, puddles, and damp surfaces.
Terrain: Performs well on various surfaces such as pavement, gravel paths, and non-technical dirt trails.
Proper care is essential to maintain the performance, longevity, and waterproof integrity of your Cloud 6 Waterproof shoes:
Cleaning: After use, especially in muddy or wet conditions, gently clean off dirt and debris. Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild, cold soapy water. Avoid using harsh detergents, bleach, or hot water, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and materials.
Drying: Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never use direct heat sources like radiators, hair dryers, or direct sunlight, as intense heat can degrade the adhesives, materials, and compromise the waterproofing. Stuffing the shoes with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp or confined spaces.
Water Immersion: While waterproof, the shoes are not designed for full immersion. Water can still enter through the ankle opening if submerged above the shoe line.
Regular Inspection: Periodically check the outsole for wear and tear and the upper for any signs of damage that might affect the waterproofing or overall performance.
