The On Cloudmonster shoes are designed for road runners and daily explorers who prioritize exceptional cushioning and energy return. They offer a unique, 'monster-level' soft and responsive feel thanks to their largest-ever CloudTec® elements and Helion superfoam. While providing unparalleled comfort for long distances and city explorations, their radical rocker shape and oversized cushioning deliver an unconventional, propulsive ride that may feel different from traditional running shoes.

Helion™ Superfoam: Integrated within the midsole, this specialized foam works with CloudTec® to enhance the soft, yet highly responsive, performance, ensuring comfort and energy return.
Responsive Speedboard®: This rigid plate nestled in the midsole acts as a launchpad, capturing energy from your landing and converting it into propulsive forward motion for efficient strides.
Radical Rocker Shape: Designed to propel you forward with each stride, this unique geometry helps maintain momentum and contributes to the shoe's distinctive, effortless feel.
Breathable Mesh Upper: Made with recycled textile, the upper ensures optimal airflow and comfort, keeping your feet cool during runs or extended wear.

The On Cloudmonster is engineered to deliver a unique blend of comfort and propulsion, making it suitable for a variety of uses, particularly on hard surfaces.
For road running, the Cloudmonster excels at absorbing impact from the pavement, thanks to its large CloudTec® elements and Helion superfoam. This makes it an ideal choice for:
Long-Distance Runs: The plush cushioning helps reduce fatigue over extended mileage.
Recovery Runs: The soft ride provides a gentle experience for tired legs.
Everyday Training: Offers a comfortable and responsive platform for your daily mileage.
Example: During a 10k road run, the Cloudmonster's radical rocker shape will smoothly transition you from foot strike to toe-off, while the Speedboard® provides a noticeable spring with each push-off, helping maintain an efficient pace with less perceived effort.
Beyond running, the Cloudmonster's comfort and modern aesthetic make it an excellent choice for daily activities and urban adventures:
All-Day Comfort: The oversized cushioning provides superb comfort for hours of walking or standing.
Urban Style: The mid-silhouette and unique design elements blend well with streetwear, making them a fashionable choice for city explorations.
Example: Wearing the Cloudmonster for a day of exploring a new city, you'll find your feet remain comfortable and energized, even after covering many miles on foot, thanks to the continuous cushioning and responsive feel.
Getting started with your On Cloudmonster shoes is straightforward:
Lacing: Unlace the shoes sufficiently to easily slide your foot in. Ensure your heel is seated comfortably at the back of the shoe.
Adjust Fit: Begin lacing from the bottom eyelets, pulling gently to achieve a snug but not restrictive fit across the midfoot. Use the top eyelets if you prefer a more secure ankle fit.
Knot: Tie your preferred knot, ensuring it's secure but not overtight, which can cause pressure points.
Activity: Primarily designed for road running and everyday wear. Their cushioning system is optimized for hard, flat surfaces. They are not typically recommended for trail running or highly technical terrain.
Gender & Sizing: This specific model is a women's fit, UK size 5. Ensure you select the correct size, as running shoe fit can vary. Consider trying them on with your typical running socks.
Foot Type: The neutral design generally suits a wide range of foot types, though individuals with specific support needs (e.g., severe overpronation) may require additional arch support if not provided by the shoe's inherent structure.
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Cloudmonster shoes:
Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) or a damp cloth with mild soap (e.g., dish soap diluted with water) to gently scrub away dirt from the mesh and synthetic areas. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Cleaning the Sole: Remove any stones or debris from the CloudTec® channels and grooves using a brush or a pointed object. You can wipe the outsoles with a damp cloth.
Drying: Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do NOT put them in a washing machine, tumble dryer, or near direct heat sources (like radiators or in direct sunlight), as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp or humid environments.
Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the insoles and air them out. You can also sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes and insoles to absorb moisture and neutralize smells, then shake it out after a few hours.
