The On Running Cloudmonster is built to make every mile feel lighter and more energetic. Its core strength lies in the synergy of its cushioning technologies: the biggest CloudTec® elements combined with Helion™ super foam. This combination provides incredibly soft landings, effectively absorbing impact and reducing fatigue over long distances. As you push off, the substantial rebound sensation propels you forward.
The Speedboard® integrated within the sole acts as a lever, converting the energy from your foot strike into dynamic forward momentum. This results in a distinctive forward-rolling motion that makes your stride feel more efficient and less taxing, even during high-mileage training or prolonged urban runs. Runners will find this particularly beneficial for daily training, long recovery runs, or any scenario where maximum comfort and protection are priorities.
For example, during a 10-mile road run, the Cloudmonster's cushioning ensures that your legs feel fresher, reducing the cumulative stress on your joints. The lightweight construction (around 230 grams) further contributes to this by preventing the shoes from feeling heavy, even late into a run. Its design is specifically tailored for consistent performance on paved surfaces, offering durability and temperature resistance.
Setup: Getting started with your On Running Cloudmonster shoes is straightforward. The shoes feature a standard lacing system, allowing you to achieve a bespoke fit by adjusting the laces to your comfort preference. It's recommended to lace them securely but not overly tight, ensuring your foot feels snug without restricting circulation. The shoes are designed to fit true to size, so you can typically select your usual running shoe size.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed primarily for road running and urban environments. Their maximal cushioning and smooth, forward-rolling ride are optimized for consistent, hard surfaces like asphalt, concrete, and paved paths. While they offer excellent comfort and protection on these surfaces, they are generally less suited for technical trail running or off-road conditions where more aggressive traction and ground feel might be required.
Care: Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Cloudmonster shoes:
Cleaning: Gently brush off any loose dirt or mud after each run. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap (like dish soap) mixed with cold water and a soft cloth or sponge. Gently scrub the upper and sole, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers). Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, as this can degrade materials over time.
Avoid Machine Washing: Never put your running shoes in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the cushioning, adhesives, and upper materials.
