The On Cloudrock Mid Waterproof is built for hikers who want lightweight comfort without sacrificing protection. Designed for technical terrain and wet conditions, it pairs a fully waterproof membrane with a stable mid-cut design for ankle confidence on uneven trails.

Underfoot, On’s CloudTec cushioning keeps the ride comfortable while Missiongrip rubber provides dependable traction on dirt, rock, and loose surfaces. It is protective enough for long hikes yet agile enough to move quickly when the trail opens up.

Foam Technology

  • CloudTec with Helion superfoam - A lightweight EVA and olefin block copolymer based compound. Helion sits in the middle of On’s foam hierarchy - more resilient and temperature resistant than standard EVA, but not a race-focused superfoam like Helion HF. Underfoot feel is moderately cushioned and stable rather than soft or bouncy. It prioritizes durability, impact protection, and steady energy return for long days on the trail.
