The On Cloudrock Low Waterproof Hiking Shoes are built to enhance your experience on short, dynamic trails. The combination of CloudTec and Helion™ superfoam means each step feels cushioned, reducing fatigue and allowing you to maintain a quicker pace. You'll notice the responsiveness as you navigate varied terrain, from rocky paths to forest floors.
Wet Conditions: The 100% waterproof membrane is invaluable when unexpected rain hits or you encounter muddy sections and shallow streams. Your feet will remain dry, preventing discomfort and potential blisters.
Mixed Terrain: The Missiongrip™ outsole provides confidence-inspiring traction. Whether you're ascending a steep, gravelly incline or descending a slick, root-covered slope, the multi-directional lugs ensure a secure foot placement. This makes them ideal for trails with changing surfaces.
Agility and Speed: Thanks to their lightweight construction and the X-Shaped Speedboard®, these shoes promote a natural, efficient gait. They feel less clunky than traditional hiking boots, allowing for greater agility and a more athletic feel on the trail. This makes them perfect for trail running sections or fast-paced hikes.
Protection: The TPU mudguard provides a crucial barrier against sharp rocks and trail debris, protecting your feet and the shoe's upper from damage.
These shoes are an excellent choice for day hikers, speed hikers, and those who enjoy fast-paced outdoor adventures where comfort, grip, and waterproofing are paramount for shorter durations.
Getting started with your Cloudrock Low shoes is straightforward. Simply put them on, adjust the laces to a comfortable and secure fit, and you're ready to hit the trail. Ensure a snug fit that prevents your foot from sliding inside the shoe, but isn't overly tight, which could restrict circulation.
Terrain: These shoes are highly compatible with mixed, technical terrains, forest trails, and paved paths. They are designed for short to medium-distance hikes and daily outdoor activities.
Weather: The 100% waterproof membrane makes them suitable for wet, rainy, or damp conditions, as well as dry weather.
Activities: Best for day hikes, speed hiking, light backpacking, and general outdoor exploration. While versatile, for multi-day expeditions with heavy packs or extreme technical climbing, you might consider higher-cut boots with more rigid support.
Proper care extends the life and performance of your hiking shoes:
Cleaning: After each use, especially if muddy, clean off dirt and debris. Use a soft brush or cloth and lukewarm water. For stubborn dirt, a mild shoe cleaning solution can be used. Avoid harsh detergents.
Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Remove insoles and loosen laces to promote airflow. Do not place them near direct heat sources (like radiators or campfires) as this can damage the waterproof membrane and materials.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mold or mildew.
Waterproofing Maintenance: While they feature a 100% waterproof membrane, the outer material's DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may wear off over time. You can reapply a DWR treatment spray suitable for hiking footwear to help water bead off the surface.
