The On Running Cloudmonster excels in delivering a uniquely cushioned and propulsive ride, making it ideal for road runners prioritizing comfort and efficiency. During long runs, the extensive CloudTec® and Helion™ superfoam work together to absorb impact, reducing fatigue and maintaining a plush feel over many miles. This helps you go the distance without feeling beaten up.
For recovery runs, the super-soft landings provide a gentle experience, allowing your muscles to recuperate while still enjoying a responsive ride. The dynamic Speedboard® ensures that even on easy days, you get a subtle spring in your step.
In daily training, the radical rocker shape combined with the Speedboard® creates a smooth and energetic transition, encouraging a forward-rolling motion that feels both effortless and fast. Whether you're logging routine miles or picking up the pace slightly, the Cloudmonster provides a consistent, comfortable, and lively experience. Its grippy outsole ensures confident footing on paved surfaces. The shoe's lightweight nature also means it won't feel clunky despite its substantial cushioning, making it a reliable companion for varied training needs on the road.
The On Running Cloudmonster features a standard lacing system for a bespoke and secure fit. To set up your shoes for optimal comfort and performance:
Loosen Laces: Fully loosen the laces to allow your foot to slide in easily.
Insert Foot: Gently insert your foot, ensuring your heel is seated firmly at the back of the shoe.
Adjust Laces: Starting from the bottom eyelets, gradually tighten the laces. Ensure they are snug but not constricting, allowing for comfortable foot flex.
Tie Securely: Tie a secure knot that will not come undone during your run, but avoid overtightening.
These trainers are designed for adult male runners looking for a maximal cushioned shoe. They are primarily compatible with road running and are excellent for daily mileage, long runs, and recovery efforts. While suitable for urban environments and paved surfaces, their design focuses on road resilience, making them less ideal for rugged trails or highly technical terrain. They pair well with various running apparel and are available in different UK sizes.
Proper care will extend the life of your Cloudmonster trainers, especially given their high content of recycled polyester.
Cleaning: After runs, especially in wet or muddy conditions, gently wipe down the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees or stuffing them with newspaper to maintain their shape.
Washing: Avoid machine washing. Hand washing is preferable for spot cleaning.
Maintenance: Regularly check the outsole for embedded debris (like small stones) and remove them to maintain grip and prevent damage.
