FAQs

What does "CloudTec" mean?

CloudTec is On Running's signature cushioning technology. It consists of individual 'clouds' or pods on the outsole that compress horizontally and vertically upon impact, providing a soft landing and then firming up for a powerful, explosive push-off. The Cloud 6 Waterproof features "Zero-Gravity CloudTec" for a lightweight, highly cushioned feel.

Are these shoes suitable for serious running or marathons?

The Cloud 6 Waterproof is primarily designed for all-day comfort, versatile training, and daily wear, especially in wet conditions. While they offer excellent cushioning and support for various activities, dedicated competitive runners or those participating in marathons might prefer lighter, more performance-oriented models from On Running or other brands for race day.

How do I clean my On Cloud 6 Waterproof trainers?

To clean your trainers, gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, wipe with a damp cloth using a small amount of mild soap. Avoid machine washing, tumble drying, or using harsh chemicals, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and materials. Air dry naturally away from direct heat.

What is the "Speedboard" and what does it do?

The Speedboard is a liquid-injected plate located within the midsole of On Running shoes. It works in conjunction with the CloudTec elements to provide stability, support, and efficient energy transfer. It flexes with your foot, offering a smooth roll-through and a propulsive feel for enhanced performance.

Is the "bioattributed ZeroGravity foam" good for the environment?

Yes, the use of bioattributed ZeroGravity foam signifies a step towards sustainability. It means that renewable materials, such as waste cooking oil, are used in its production instead of solely relying on fossil-based resources, reducing the product's environmental footprint.

How does the speed lacing system work, and can I replace it with regular laces?

The speed lacing system allows for quick and easy tightening and loosening using a single toggle. You simply pull the toggle to secure the laces or press a button on the toggle to release them. While designed for convenience, On Running often includes a pair of traditional laces in the box with some models, or you can purchase and swap them out if you prefer.

What is the weight of this specific model (UK 9.5)?

The On Running Cloud 6 Waterproof in UK 9.5 weighs approximately 296.3g. This weight reflects the robust construction, cushioning, and integrated waterproof membrane designed for durability and performance in varying conditions.

Troubleshooting

My feet feel wet despite the waterproof claim.

Ensure the speed lacing system is adequately tightened to prevent water from entering over the top of the shoe, especially in heavy rain. Check for any visible damage or tears in the upper material or around seams that might compromise the waterproof membrane. If heavily worn, consider re-applying a water-repellent treatment to the outer fabric.

The speed lacing system feels too tight or too loose.

The speed lacing system is designed for quick adjustments. To tighten, pull the toggle mechanism firmly along the laces. To loosen, press the button on the toggle and slide it up the laces. Experiment with the tension until you find the most comfortable and secure fit for your foot, ensuring even pressure.

Experiencing discomfort or rubbing during prolonged wear.

Ensure you have the correct shoe size (UK 9.5 for this product variant). While the Cloud 6 is designed for comfort, a short break-in period may be necessary for some users. Wear appropriate moisture-wicking socks to minimize friction and manage sweat. If discomfort persists, re-evaluate sizing or consult a footwear specialist.

The shoes feel heavier than expected.

The On Running Cloud 6 Waterproof incorporates a waterproof membrane and enhanced construction for durability in wet conditions, contributing to its weight of approximately 296.3g (for UK 9.5). This weight is typical for waterproof trainers designed for all-day comfort and versatility rather than ultralight racing.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

Getting started with your On Running Cloud 6 Waterproof trainers is straightforward:

  1. Unpacking: Remove the trainers from their packaging.
  2. Lacing Adjustment: Utilize the speed lacing system by pulling the toggle to tighten or loosen the laces. Adjust until you achieve a snug, comfortable fit across your foot.
  3. Step-in Comfort: The wider opening and new sockliner are designed for an easy step-in. Ensure your foot is properly seated within the shoe.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for:

  • Age Group: Adults.
  • Gender: Primarily marketed for men, but their comfortable fit can appeal to anyone seeking these features.
  • Activities: Ideal for daily wear, urban exploration, walking, and training in various weather conditions, particularly wet environments.
  • Surfaces: Optimized for road and mixed urban terrains, with enhanced grip for wet surfaces.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your waterproof trainers:

  • Cleaning:
  1. Remove loose dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth immediately after use.
  2. For tougher stains, use a mild soap mixed with water and gently scrub the affected areas with a soft cloth or brush.
  3. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the waterproof membrane and materials.
  4. Rinse with clean water (if using soap) and allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight.
  • Drying: If the inside of the shoes gets wet (e.g., from sweat or water entering from the top), you can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and speed up drying.
  • Waterproof Treatment: Over time, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating on the outer fabric may wear off. While the internal membrane remains waterproof, you can apply a DWR spray designed for footwear to the outer material to help water bead off more effectively.
