- Is the Cloudrock Mid actually waterproof?
- Yes. It has On's own waterproof membrane and a sealed construction, so rain and puddles stay out. It is not Gore-Tex, and breathability is lower than a non-waterproof trail shoe.
- How does it fit compared with other On shoes?
- It runs narrow and low-volume, similar to On's trail line. Women with wide feet should consider going up half a size or trying it on first.
- Is it good for long backpacking trips?
- It is better for day hikes and light packs. The foam midsole and flexible upper offer less support and protection than a stiff leather backpacking boot under heavy loads.
- Does it need breaking in?
- Most owners wear it comfortably on the first hike. The ankle collar is the stiffest part and can rub for a few outings, so short walks first help.
- What is the Speedboard for?
- It is a plate in the midsole that stiffens the forefoot and returns energy with each step. It makes the boot feel faster and more stable than a soft hiker, at the cost of some ground feel.
- What is in the box?
- One pair of boots with the laces fitted. Insoles are included; spare laces and a stuff sack are not.
