The On Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof is engineered to excel in varied conditions, especially when the weather turns wet. Its high-performance waterproof membrane ensures your feet stay dry and comfortable, making it an ideal choice for running in rain, puddles, or damp environments. The combination of Helion Superfoam and CloudTec cushioning delivers a luxurious yet responsive ride, absorbing impact effectively during long distances and providing a noticeable energy return to keep you going. This makes it particularly well-suited for daily training, recovery runs, and long-distance efforts where comfort and protection are paramount. The shoe's structured design, supported by a durable heel clip and strategic reinforcements, provides essential stability, guiding your foot through an efficient gait cycle. The updated outsole is a practical improvement, actively preventing stones from getting lodged, which means fewer interruptions and a smoother running experience on roads and light trails. For runners who value both comfort and environmental responsibility, the use of 100% recycled polyester in the upper is a significant advantage.
Setup:
Lacing: When first wearing your Cloudrunner 2 Waterproof, ensure the laces are snug but not overtight, allowing for natural foot expansion during a run. The plush tongue helps prevent pressure points.
Initial Fit: Walk around in the shoes to ensure a comfortable fit. Pay attention to any pressure points, especially around the heel clip and toe box. Your heel should feel secure, and there should be a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Compatibility:
Running Type: Ideal for daily training, long runs, and recovery runs. Best suited for runners who prioritize cushioning, support, and protection.
Terrain: Primarily designed for road running, but the durable outsole can handle light, well-maintained trails.
Conditions: Specifically engineered for wet weather running thanks to its waterproof membrane.
Runner Profile: Recommended for neutral to moderate overpronators who benefit from a structured and cushioned shoe. Care:
Cleaning: After runs, especially in muddy or wet conditions, gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the waterproof membrane and adhesives. 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.
