The On Running Cloudmonster Trainers are engineered to excel in scenarios where comfort, cushioning, and energy return are paramount. They are particularly well-suited for:
Daily Training Runs: Their 'monster-level' cushioning absorbs impact effectively, making them an excellent choice for everyday miles and maintaining comfort on routine runs.
Longer Distances: The combination of soft landings and efficient energy return helps reduce fatigue over extended periods, making them ideal for half-marathons, marathons, and long-distance training.
Recovery Runs: The maximum cushioning provides a gentle ride, which can be beneficial for legs needing a softer impact after harder training sessions.
Urban Exploration & Casual Wear: Beyond running, the Cloudmonster's exceptional comfort and bold aesthetic make them a popular choice for all-day casual wear, city walks, and light activity, providing a comfy ride throughout your day.
The CloudTec® elements compress upon landing to soften impact, then spring back with the integrated Speedboard® to propel you forward, creating a sensation often described as 'running on clouds'. This dynamic provides a noticeable 'bounce' that makes running feel easier and more enjoyable. While not specifically designed for track workouts or ultra-fast races where minimal weight and maximum ground feel are prioritized, they deliver a highly effective and comfortable experience for the majority of a runner's mileage.
Getting started with your Cloudmonster trainers is straightforward. Simply unbox, lace them up, and adjust to your preferred tightness. The 'true to size' fit means you can generally order your usual running shoe size for an optimal fit right out of the box. Ensure the lacing provides a secure, comfortable fit without being too tight or loose.
These trainers are designed for adult female runners and individuals seeking maximum cushioning and comfort for daily activity. They are highly compatible with neutral gait patterns, but their plush cushioning can offer support for a range of foot types. They are best suited for road running and paved surfaces, where the large CloudTec® elements can provide optimal absorption and energy return.
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your On Cloudmonster trainers. The upper is primarily made from recycled polyester textile.
Cleaning: For general cleaning, gently brush off loose dirt. For tougher grime, use a soft brush or cloth with a small amount of mild soap and lukewarm water. Wipe down the upper, midsole, and outsole.
Drying: Always air dry your trainers naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers, as excessive heat can damage materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or machine dry your trainers, as this can degrade materials and compromise shoe structure.
Info needed: Specific recommendations from On for optimal cleaning products if any.
