Cloudhorizon 2 Mid Waterproof (Men)

Explore Further, Stay Dry — The Cloudhorizon 2 Mid Waterproof
The On Cloudhorizon 2 Mid Waterproof is a men’s mid-cut waterproof hiking shoe built for the explorer who refuses to let technical terrain or changing weather conditions define the limits of the day’s adventure. With hiking-specific CloudTec Phase™ cushioning that delivers an effortless-feeling ride and soft landings across uneven ground, a Helion™ superfoam midsole for all-day comfort on mixed terrain, a redesigned Missiongrip™ grip-rubber outsole with a hiking-specific tread profile for confident traction on wet and technical surfaces, and a high-performance waterproof membrane that keeps feet dry through rainy hikes and stream crossings — the Cloudhorizon 2 Mid WP is the hiking shoe ready to go wherever the horizon leads. Adjusted sidewalls for better stability, an updated toe cap for zoned protection, a soft padded collar for a comfortable ankle fit, and a 100% recycled polyester upper complete a shoe built to perform and built with purpose. 

100% Recycled Polyester Upper, Mid-Cut Collar, Adjusted Sidewalls, Updated Toe Cap — Built for Technical Terrain
The Cloudhorizon 2 Mid WP’s upper is crafted from 100% recycled polyester — a sustainable material choice that carries the performance demands of demanding trail use without adding virgin plastic to the supply chain, keeping the shoe light, breathable, and responsive across varied hiking conditions. The mid-cut silhouette is the defining structural advantage over the standard low-cut Cloudhorizon 2: a higher ankle collar that provides meaningful additional ankle support and containment when navigating technical terrain, rocky descents, and uneven trail surfaces where a lower shoe’s ankle exposure becomes a stability liability. The adjusted sidewalls further reinforce the shoe’s lateral stability — engineered to resist the sideways roll and flex that uneven ground demands — while the updated toe cap provides zoned impact protection at the forefoot, shielding against the rock strikes and root catches that technical trail hiking inevitably delivers. The soft padded collar wraps the ankle in a comfortable, cushioned fit that makes the mid-cut height feel like a natural extension of the foot rather than a constraint.

Hiking-Specific CloudTec Phase™, Helion™ Superfoam, Missiongrip™ Outsole, Waterproof Membrane — Comfort and Traction, Whatever the Weather
The Cloudhorizon 2 Mid WP’s performance foundation begins with CloudTec Phase™ — On’s hiking-optimized evolution of its signature cloud cushioning technology, specifically engineered for the heel-to-toe biomechanics of hiking motion. The result is a smooth, effortless-feeling ride with soft landings across mixed terrain — the stability needed to navigate uneven ground with ease, combined with a cushioned, light-on-the-feet sensation that keeps longer days on the trail feeling good. The Helion™ superfoam midsole adds a soft, energy-returning cushioning layer that maintains its feel across hours of mixed terrain hiking without compressing flat. The completely redesigned Missiongrip™ outsole delivers the Cloudhorizon 2’s trail traction through a special grip-rubber compound, a hiking-specific lug geometry, and a tread depth and angle engineered for uncompromising grip on wet rock, loose dirt, and technical trail surfaces alike. The high-performance waterproof membrane seals the upper against rain, wet trail, and light stream crossings while maintaining breathability — a shoe stable, durable, and ready for whatever the weather brings.
