On Cloud 6 Waterproof review

The On Cloud 6 Waterproof is the version of On's all-day signature shoe for people who walk whatever the weather. On adds a waterproof membrane and a tighter-structured mesh to the upper, plus connected rubber pods on the outsole for better grip. Underfoot it uses Zero-Gravity CloudTec cushioning with a Speedboard for support, and the foam is bio-attributed Helion, which On says replaces at least 36% of the fossil-based content in the EVA with renewable feedstock. A wider opening, a new sockliner and speed lacing make it quick to put on. It has an 8mm drop and weighs 296.3g, and On says it fits true to size. Free shipping starts at $50 and returns are free within 90 days. At $180 it is the most expensive shoe on this list, and the standard Cloud 6 costs $160 if you rarely walk in the rain.
