What is the On "Cloudhorizon 2 WP"?

The "On Cloudhorizon 2 WP" is a waterproof model that integrates a high-performance waterproof membrane into the "Cloudhorizon", which features the thickest sole unit in On's hiking shoe category.

While maintaining high specifications as outdoor gear, it is finished with a refined, minimalist design, widely covering everything from light hiking and trekking to rainy daily commutes and urban city use.

Product Specs and Functionality Creating an Overwhelming Walking Experience

We will dissect the high level of perfection as a "product" and the latest technology embedded within it, item by item.

1. "CloudTec Phase®" Technology Optimized for Hiking

The midsole adopts On's proprietary cushioning technology, "CloudTec Phase®", optimized through computer analysis.
Precisely calculated cavities compress sequentially like a wave upon landing, smoothly absorbing impact.
This creates an ultimate rolling motion that smoothly shifts the center of gravity from heel to toe.

2. "Helion™ Superfoam" Creating Ultimate Cushioning

The midsole material generously uses "Helion™ Superfoam", which combines lightweight properties with excellent cushioning and high energy return.
The soft ground contact, often described as plush, significantly reduces the burden on your feet even after long hours of walking.

3. "High-Performance Waterproof Membrane" Shutting Out Rain and Mud

A high-performance waterproof membrane is built into the upper.
It prevents water penetration even in harsh environments such as sudden rain, muddy paths, and puddles, keeping the inside of the shoe dry and comfortable at all times.
This is an indispensable feature for the rainy season or when the weather is unstable.

4. "Missiongrip™ Rubber" Firmly Gripping Wet Surfaces

The outsole features the brand's premier grip material, "Missiongrip™ Rubber".
It provides powerful traction in various surface conditions, whether wet or dry, enabling secure walking even in slippery train stations on rainy days or on unstable mountain trails.

Sizing and Fit Advice

Choosing the right size is often a concern when purchasing.
The "Cloudhorizon 2 WP" possesses a moderate hold due to its engineered mesh and waterproof structure.

Basically, you can wear your usual true size, but if you have wide feet or high insteps, plan to wear thick trekking socks, or prefer a relaxed fit for everyday wear, we recommend going half a size up.
