The On Running Cloudmonster is built to transform your running experience, making it feel less like work and more like floating. Its standout feature, the Biggest CloudTec®, works in tandem with the Speedboard® to create a powerful rebound sensation. When your foot lands, the CloudTec elements compress, absorbing impact, then the Speedboard quickly propels you forward, giving you significant energy return. This combination makes the shoe particularly effective for easy runs, where the cushioning provides comfort mile after mile, and for longer distances, where sustained energy return helps reduce fatigue.
The unique rocker shape further enhances efficiency by encouraging a smooth, forward-rolling motion from foot strike to toe-off. This promotes a natural gait cycle and can help maintain momentum. Runners will notice a "running on Clouds" sensation, ensuring soft landings that don't compromise responsiveness. Whether you're accumulating weekly mileage or tackling your longest run yet, the Cloudmonster is engineered to deliver comfort and performance.
For Daily Training: Enjoy the plush cushioning on your regular routes.
For Long Runs: Benefit from the sustained comfort and energy return to go further with less effort.
Mixed Terrain: While primarily designed for road, the grippy rubber outsole provides reliable traction on light, packed trails.
Adapting to the Rocker: Allow a few runs to get accustomed to the shoe's forward-rolling geometry, especially if you're new to maximalist or rocker-bottom shoes.
The On Running Cloudmonster trainers are designed for an immediate, comfortable fit. Simply unbox, lace up, and go. The shoes are true to size, so you can confidently select your usual UK shoe size.
These trainers are suitable for adult male runners and also non-runners who appreciate comfort and support for everyday wear. Their versatile design makes them appropriate for a spectrum of activities, from casual walking to serious training sessions on roads and light paved paths. They are compatible with various running styles, particularly benefiting those who appreciate generous cushioning and a responsive ride.
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Cloudmonster trainers:
Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the breathable knit upper with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Cleaning the Outsole: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole and CloudTec elements.
Drying: Allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers, as excessive heat can damage materials.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash your Cloudmonster shoes, as this can degrade adhesives and structural components.
