Verdict: Great trainers for urban exploring but do come in a little small.


The On Running Cloud 5 Waterproof trainers are designed to offer the great combination of comfort, performance, and weather protection for those urban exploring adventures we all need!

 

Engineered by the Swiss brand On Running, these shoes feature the brand’s signature CloudTec sole technology which we found in our CloudSurfers, which provides a cushioned landing and a powerful push-off, ensuring a smooth and responsive ride. Still a relatively new practice, the Cloud 5 Waterproof trainers are constructed with a fully waterproof membrane, keeping your feet dry in wet conditions while maintaining breathability to prevent overheating.

The upper is made from lightweight, and notably, recycled materials (between 40% - 90% depending on the part), aligning with sustainable practices without compromising durability or comfort. A speed-lacing system allows for quick and easy adjustments, providing a secure fit that adapts to your foot’s natural shape. The Zero-Gravity foam used in the sole reduces the overall weight of the shoe, making it an excellent choice for all-day wear, whether for running or casual use.

The trainers also feature reflective elements for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions, adding an extra layer of safety for those who like to run early in the morning or late in the evening. The Cloud 5 Waterproof is versatile enough for urban environments and light trail running, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a reliable, all-weather trainer that doesn’t sacrifice style or comfort.
