Should You Buy Them? - On Cloudrock Waterproof Hiking Boots Review 

Thank you for the honest review :) For such an asking price of a boot comes great expectations, and after watching this I'll be sticking to my Salomons :)

This was very helpful, thanks

Thank you for this video! I walk roughly 5-6 miles every day at work and also do some day hikes. Was eyeballing these pretty hard for something I could wear for work and hikes. And after this, I think I’ll keep looking 😏

Review summary - They are light. They are really waterproof. They perform well going uphill and downhill. The cushion is comfy. But I didn't swap the laces and didn't go 1/2 a size up, so they are not worth $230.

This is an awesome review! I love that you spent several months wearing them so that you could give a very detailed review! How did you get them for $100?

I agree that the Danner 600 are probably the best all around boot. I’ve been thru about six pairs of them and although the oldest look rough they are all still wearable. I just bought a pair of the Cloud rock 2 for $242 with tax. They are really nice but I don’t think they will hold up near as good as my Danners. Good review.

Use the double lock system on the boot. It set your laces tightly.

Thx for your honesty. So what boot would you consider more comfortable than this ones ?

You’re expecting a perfect boot for $200? I think you’re expecting too much. I dropped $400 on my Danners and absolutely hate them. I like these better

Thanks for the review. You need to try the Columbia Fairbanks Omni-Heat Boots! Verry good boots and also waterproof!

I’m surprise you didn’t talk about the “stone collector” issues. Especially walking on trails I am assuming you had to stop and pick stones out every once in a while? Can you confirm if this is an issue and if you’re going through muddy trails you’re going to get dirt stuck in those pods, which should be so annoying. Just wondering what your experiences with this?

Hello, thank you. Incredible review. In your opinion and as you said, answer the best you can. What are your thoughts, do you think they would work for law enforcement? I work highway patrol. I do alot of walking on and off the highway. Dirt, rock, road, sand. 10 - 12 hours a day four days a week. Thank you!

How do u compare with one with Salomon ultra 4mid gtx?

How are these compared to the Vivobarefoot FG tracker you reviewed last year? Are these more or less comfortable compared to those?

Wow that view at 3:24 is stunning! Where is that!?

I normally wear an 8.5. Would ypu tecommend sizing up?

The Cloudrock 2 is a better boot. It's more comfortable, durable and the laces stay tied. That being said, I appreciate boot reviews are made to be helpful to potential buyers but most commentary about fit and comfort is subjective, unless the shoe is terribly designed. The question "are they worth the price?" tends to get negative comments because it is also subjective. I've been buying hiking, trekking and alpine climbing boots for over 30 years. I'm a US 13 to 13.5 in most shoes and boots. Some brands and models fit me better than others for reasons such as forefoot size, the degree of flare at the midfoot, heel width, toebox shape, tongue design, arch support and other stuff which is specific to my foot. I suspect many many consumers wouid find the ON boots very comfortable and would have a better experience than yours. I found the sizing too small and needed to size up. I have the same experience with Adidas Terrex and Mammut. It's not an issue if I simply buy my JPN size but even then On shoes and boots are similar to Salomon in being a bit narrower and low volume in the toe box. Not uncomfortably so. That's my experience as someone with wide feet and splaying toes but other wearers may find them perfect. From an objective point of view as an owner of many boots, I found the On boots well made, the grip very good for a light hiker, and the cushioning extremely effective. If I was more price conscious and they fit I wouid get Adidas Terrex skychaser 2 boots instead as they are just as good in many ways and available for big discounts. If I was planning more mountain hikes with tougher terrain I would look at Mammut Ducan, Sapuen, Scarpa Mescalito, Zodiac, and various other boots that are much more suited to hiking on rocky trails and off trail scrambles. The On Cloudrock is a premium priced product that is not as capable for mountain hiking as other similarly priced boots. It is not intended for that market however. If someone has the disposable cash and the On boots fit them then they are great alternatives. If you want a tougher On boot then go with the Cloud Alpine.

That you dont like them,it doesnt mean that not worth it!! I own a few pairs their awesome.

Which one are more comfortable? For more days hiking

How did you get them for sucha greatnprice

I'll be honest, your review made me want them lol. I know you don't think they're worth the price, but everything you said was mainly positive. I don't think $200 is too much for a good hiking boot. Perfect boots are $500.

I love this shoe I have it in three colors, wear it for all my walks with and without my dog. Easy to take on and off, perfect for pregnant women.

Why didnt i see this three days ago, i got m for 229.95,- euro's.

You can find them for 119 now

The build quality for proper walking is not good enough. The soft padded cotton material at the top is really dreadful, if you catch it on anything in the woods, it tears. Had mine fixed with leather instead, much better. The laces are thin too, so they break easily. Which would be fine if they sold laces, but they don’t. I wouldn’t buy them again.

After two months the glue is already loose on different places And they are not waterproof even in a gentlle rain. Let alone climbing or hiking. My worst purchase lately..

Sold!

I expected RU-vid algorithm to work better to not show crap videos like this.
