The On Running Cloudmonster is engineered to excel on the road, making it an ideal companion for a variety of running activities. For long-distance training runs, the combination of CloudTec® cushioning and Helion™ super foam ensures plush comfort and impact protection mile after mile, reducing fatigue and allowing you to go further. During everyday runs, the lightweight design and dynamic Speedboard® provide an energizing bounce and smooth forward rolling motion, making each stride feel effortless and enjoyable. The shoe's "road-ready resilience" means it stands up well to regular pounding on pavements and asphalt. While not specifically designed for speed work, the energy return can contribute to more efficient efforts, though it's primarily a cushioned workhorse. Its design emphasizes comfort and propulsion, allowing runners to focus on their form and fitness goals without distraction. The standard lacing system secures a bespoke fit, ensuring stability during varied paces.
Setting up your Cloudmonster shoes is straightforward. Simply unbox them and adjust the standard laces to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. The shoes are designed to be true to size, so you should find your usual running shoe size provides the optimal fit. Take them for a short walk or light jog to ensure comfort before your first full run.
These trainers are primarily designed for road running and are best suited for recreational runners and those who enjoy maximal cushioning. They are excellent for daily training, long-distance runs, and recovery jogs. While they offer good grip on dry paved surfaces, their specific outsole design is optimized for urban and road environments rather than technical trails or very uneven terrain.
Proper care will extend the life of your Cloudmonster trainers and maintain their performance.
Cleaning: After runs, gently brush off any loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, wipe the polyester upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the materials and technologies.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can degrade the materials.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for extended periods.
Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating your Cloudmonster with other running shoes to allow the cushioning to fully decompress and extend the lifespan of each pair.
