FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for heavy rain and puddles?

Yes, the On Running Cloud 6 Waterproof trainers feature a fully waterproof membrane specifically designed to keep your feet dry in heavy rain and when encountering puddles.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

These shoes are optimized for city runs and urban environments. While they offer good traction, they are not specifically designed for aggressive or technical trail running, which may require different sole patterns and upper durability.

How do I maintain the waterproof quality of the shoes?

To maintain waterproofing, clean the shoes gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry naturally. Avoid machine washing or exposing them to high heat, as this can degrade the waterproof membrane.

What is the benefit of the Speedboard technology?

The Speedboard is engineered to provide all-day support and efficient energy return, helping to propel you forward and reduce fatigue, especially during longer periods of wear or running.

Are these shoes breathable given they are waterproof?

The waterproof membrane prioritizes keeping water out, which can naturally reduce breathability compared to non-waterproof running shoes. While designed for comfort, you might find them warmer in hot weather or during intense workouts.

Do On Running Cloud 6 Waterproof shoes fit true to size?

Most users find On Running shoes to fit true to size. However, foot shape can vary. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially if you plan to wear specific types of socks.

What kind of socks should I wear with waterproof shoes?

For optimal comfort and to prevent dampness from sweat, it's recommended to wear moisture-wicking socks made from synthetic materials or merino wool. Avoid cotton socks, as they retain moisture.

Troubleshooting

My feet feel damp inside the shoes even though they are waterproof.

First, ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks, as cotton socks can trap sweat against your skin. Second, check if water is entering from the ankle opening, which can happen in very heavy downpours if water splashes above the shoe collar. The waterproof membrane protects the shoe body, but the top opening is not sealed.

The shoes feel less cushioned or supportive over time.

Inspect the CloudTec elements on the outsole for signs of excessive wear or compression. Also, ensure your laces are tied securely to provide optimal foot lockdown and support. If the shoes are old, cushioning materials can naturally degrade over time, indicating they might be reaching the end of their lifespan for peak performance.

I'm experiencing less grip than expected on wet surfaces.

While the rubber outsole provides good traction, extreme conditions (e.g., highly polished wet surfaces, ice, or loose wet debris) can still reduce grip. Ensure the outsole tread is clean and free of embedded mud or stones. Also, check the wear level of the outsole; a worn tread will offer less grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Weather Protection: Fully waterproof membrane keeps feet dry in rain.
  • All-Day Comfort: Enhanced sockliner and CloudTec provide a comfortable experience.
  • Supportive Ride: Speedboard offers stability and aids in efficient movement.
  • Reliable Traction: Rubber outsole maintains grip on urban surfaces.
  • Versatile Use: Ideal for city runs and everyday street wear in variable weather.

Cons

  • Reduced Breathability: The waterproof membrane, while protective, can limit airflow compared to non-waterproof shoes, potentially leading to warmer feet.
  • Info needed: Specific Terrain Limitations: While good for city, specific performance on very uneven or extreme trail conditions is not detailed.
  • Info needed: Weight: Waterproofing technology can sometimes add slight weight compared to ultra-light standard versions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Cloud 6 Waterproof trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply use the lace fastening to secure the shoes to your feet, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit. Adjust the laces to your preference to optimize support and comfort.

Compatibility

  • Users: Designed for adult males, suitable for anyone seeking waterproof, comfortable, and supportive footwear for urban environments.
  • Activities: Best suited for city running, walking, commuting, and general daily wear in variable weather conditions.
  • Terrain: Optimized for paved roads, sidewalks, and light urban paths. Not specifically designed for aggressive trail running.

Care Instructions

  • Cleaning: To clean your trainers, gently wipe off dirt and mud with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and materials. Allow to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources.
  • Drying: If the inside of the shoes gets wet (e.g., from sweat or water entering over the collar), stuff them loosely with newspaper to absorb moisture, and allow them to air dry.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check the outsole for embedded debris. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can compromise the shoe's structure and waterproofing.
