Updated for SS25, the new Cloud 6 Waterproof takes the same slip-on convenience that you love from the original Cloud shoe and subsequent Cloud 5, and somehow improves it. A slightly denser midsole and the CloudTec and Zero-Gravity foam underfoot create a very comfortable walking experience. The waterproof membrane keeps you dry without adding much weight to the shoe. The channel running down the middle of the outsole has been shrunk and widened slightly to reduce the risk of picking up debris. The mouth is a little wider than the 5, and combined with a new sockliner, makes it a little easier to get on. Of course it would not be a Cloud without the celebrated elastic speed-lacing system (which can be re-knotted for a snugger fit); just step in and go. Should you prefer a slightly more custom fit, they provide a traditional set of laces in the box.

Available at Glebe Trotters in Ottawa, Ontario (for both men and women).
