On Running Cloud 6 Waterproof - Black - UK 6

The On Running Cloud 6 Waterproof trainers are designed for versatility, offering comfortable support for everyday wear, walking, and light jogging in wet conditions. For very high-mileage or specialized technical trail running, you might explore On Running's dedicated performance running lines.

On Running shoes generally fit true to size. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, leaving a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Consider wearing the type of socks you'd typically use with these trainers when trying them on.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the waterproof membrane, adhesives, and material integrity. Please refer to the 'Care' section for recommended cleaning instructions.

The integrated waterproof membrane is designed to provide lasting protection. Its durability depends on usage and care. Regularly cleaning and air-drying your shoes, and avoiding harsh treatments, will help maintain the membrane's effectiveness. Over time, the outer material's water repellency might lessen, but the internal membrane should remain effective.

Bio-attributed Zero-Gravity foam refers to a lightweight cushioning material used in the midsole that incorporates renewable resources in its production. This innovative foam delivers a soft, cushioned feel without adding significant weight, contributing to the shoe's comfort and performance.

While the waterproof membrane inherently reduces breathability compared to a non-waterproof mesh shoe, On Running designs its waterproof models to manage moisture effectively. The tighter-structured mesh upper aims to balance protection with some air circulation to keep your feet comfortable, though extreme breathability is usually a trade-off for waterproofing.

Inspect the shoes for any visible damage or tears in the upper material, which could compromise the waterproof membrane. Ensure water is not entering from the top (e.g., splashing over the ankle in deep puddles) or from the lacing area. Also, consider if perspiration is being mistaken for external moisture, as waterproof shoes can sometimes reduce breathability.

New shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape. The Zero-Gravity foam will also mold slightly with use for a personalized feel.

Check the outsole for any excessive wear or embedded debris that might reduce traction. Clean the rubber pods thoroughly. While designed for reliable grip, extreme slippery conditions (like ice or very slick mud) can still pose a challenge. Ensure your stride is appropriate for the surface.

For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) with a small amount of mild soap and water. Gently scrub the affected areas. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or harsh scrubbing which can damage the material.
