Is the Cloudrock Mid Waterproof good for serious mountain hiking?

It is a light hiker. It handles day hikes and light packs well, but it lacks the stiffness and underfoot protection of a backpacking or mountaineering boot.

How does it fit compared with other On shoes?

It follows On's generally snug fit. Owners with wide feet often size up or find it too narrow in the toe box.

Does the waterproof membrane breathe?

It keeps water out, but like most waterproof membranes it runs warmer than a non-waterproof trail shoe in hot weather.

Is it comfortable out of the box?

Most owners say yes, though the stiff mid collar may need a few short hikes to soften.

What is the difference from the low-cut Cloudrock?

The mid version adds a higher collar for ankle coverage and support. The low version is lighter and cooler for fast, dry trails.

Our take on the Cloudrock Mid Waterproof WMNS

The On Cloudrock Mid Waterproof is a women's mid-cut hiking boot built around On's CloudTec cushioning and a waterproof membrane. It sits in the light-hiking class: lighter and more flexible than a leather backpacking boot, with less underfoot protection than a full mountaineering model. It suits day hikers and fast packers who want a cushioned, weatherproof boot for maintained trails. Owners like the comfort out of the box and the grip on mixed terrain; the main complaints are a narrow fit and a stiff, high collar during break-in.
