The On Running Cloudmonster is engineered to provide an engaging and comfortable running experience for a variety of road-based activities. Its core strength lies in its maximal cushioning, making it an excellent choice for long-distance training runs where comfort and impact absorption are paramount. The super-soft landings, courtesy of the CloudTec® cushioning and Helion™ super foam, effectively reduce fatigue over extended periods.
For recovery runs, the Cloudmonster offers a plush, forgiving ride that helps ease tired legs. The substantial rebound sensation actively helps to propel you forward with less effort, making it easier to maintain a comfortable pace. This 'playful underfoot sensation' makes running feel less like a chore and more enjoyable.
During daily training sessions, the integrated Speedboard® and radical rocker shape work in tandem to create an efficient and dynamic stride. This combination ensures a smooth transition from foot strike to toe-off, delivering energetic forward momentum that can make everyday miles feel more spirited. While not a dedicated race shoe, its responsiveness allows for picking up the pace when desired, balancing cushioning with a lively feel.
Its lightweight construction, despite the significant cushioning, means you won't feel bogged down, even late into a run. The 6mm heel-to-toe drop is designed to promote a natural running posture, suitable for a wide range of footstrikes. Overall, the Cloudmonster excels on urban roads, pavements, and well-maintained paths, providing a consistent and enjoyable ride that helps you focus on your fitness goals.
Your Cloudmonster running shoes come ready to wear. Simply unbox them and adjust the standard laces to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Ensure your heel feels secure and your toes have enough room to splay slightly. A proper lacing technique can significantly enhance comfort and reduce potential rubbing or hot spots during your run.
Running Surface: Optimized for road running, including pavements, asphalt, and well-maintained paths. Not recommended for technical trails or highly uneven terrain due to its maximalist design and stack height.
Runner Type: Ideal for recreational runners, those who prioritize maximal cushioning, and individuals looking for a comfortable shoe for long runs, recovery runs, and daily mileage.
Gender: This specific model is designed for adult males (UK 10.5). Other variants may be available for different genders and sizes.
Material: Primarily made from polyester, with a significant portion being recycled. This ensures breathability and durability.
To prolong the life and maintain the performance of your On Running Cloudmonster shoes:
Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush). For deeper cleaning, mix a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap) with lukewarm water. Use a soft cloth or sponge dipped in the soapy water to wipe down the mesh upper and midsole. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators). Do not put them in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods.
Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the insoles and allow both the shoes and insoles to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
Avoid Submerging: While the shoes are durable, avoid fully submerging them in water for cleaning, as this can affect the cushioning and adhesives over time.
