The ON Cloudmonster trainers are built to excel in everyday running and distance training on roads. The combination of CloudTec® cushioning and Helion™ super foam creates a uniquely soft yet responsive ride. When your foot strikes the ground, the Helion™ foam absorbs impact for a plush landing, while the CloudTec® elements compress and then rebound, propelling you forward.
The embedded Speedboard® plays a crucial role in this propulsion, acting as a spring that channels the energy from your foot strike into forward momentum. This results in a stride that feels both effortless and powerful, allowing you to maintain pace or build distance with greater ease.
For example, during a long-distance training run, you'll notice the consistent cushioning prevents fatigue and discomfort, even after many miles. The lightweight nature (only 230 grams) further contributes to this, ensuring your legs feel fresher for longer. The 6mm heel-to-toe drop encourages a natural, efficient forward rolling motion, which can improve running economy. Whether you're aiming to increase your weekly mileage or set a new personal best on your favorite road route, the Cloudmonster provides the support, comfort, and propulsion needed to achieve your goals.
The ON Cloudmonster shoes require minimal setup. Simply put them on and adjust the standard lacing to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the laces are tight enough to prevent your foot from sliding but not so tight as to cause pressure points.
These trainers are designed for adult male runners and are ideal for:
Everyday running: Perfect for daily jogs and regular training sessions.
Long distances: The maximal cushioning makes them suitable for half-marathons, marathons, and ultra-marathons on paved surfaces.
Road running: Engineered for urban environments and roads, offering resilience against hard surfaces.
Varied paces: While built for mileage, the energy return also supports tempo runs and efforts to increase pace.
To ensure your Cloudmonster trainers last and perform optimally:
Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush or damp cloth. For a deeper clean, hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as these can damage materials and adhesives.
Drying: Air dry at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can deform the shoes.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Avoid Submerging: Do not fully submerge the shoes in water, especially hot water.
Recycled Polyester: The 80% recycled polyester upper is durable but still benefits from gentle care.
