Cloudhorizon 2 Waterproof (Men)

Trail Comfort Meets Everyday Versatility

Part hiking shoe, part travel companion, the Cloudhorizon 2 Waterproof blurs the line between trail-ready performance and all-day wearability. Whether you're exploring maintained paths, navigating a rainy commute, or hopping between airports and afternoon hikes, this shoe delivers plush comfort without the clunky feel of traditional hikers.

Exceptionally Light, Seriously Cushioned

Weighing in at just 11.8 oz per shoe, the Cloudhorizon 2 WP is one of the lightest waterproof hiking shoes on the market. But light doesn't mean thin—On's CloudTec Phase™ technology creates one of the tallest, most cushioned platforms you'll find in a hiker. The hollow cloud pods absorb impact underfoot while delivering a smooth, rolling stride that feels more like a well-cushioned sneaker than a stiff trail shoe. Reviewers consistently note that it lives up to its name: genuinely cloud-like underfoot.

Waterproof Without the Sweat

A high-performance waterproof membrane seals out rain, puddles, and dewy grass while still allowing your feet to breathe. Tested through everything from wet trails to shallow stream crossings, this shoe keeps feet dry when conditions turn. Just note: it's a low-cut design, so ankle-deep water will find a way in.

Thoughtful Construction

The upper combines recycled polyester (85%) with TPU reinforcements for durability and a clean aesthetic that transitions easily from trail to town. Heel and toe bumpers add protection against rocks and roots. A padded tongue and secure lacing system lock your foot in place without pressure points.
