The On Running Cloudmonster Void - Black trainers are engineered to provide a supremely cushioned yet energetic running experience, making them ideal for daily training, long-distance runs, and recovery jogs. The combination of Helion superfoam and CloudTec cushioning works synergistically to deliver soft landings, effectively absorbing impact and reducing strain on your joints. This allows you to maintain comfort mile after mile.
The integrated Speedboard acts as a propulsive plate, efficiently converting the energy from your foot strike into forward momentum. This results in a noticeable "kinetic liftoff," making each stride feel more powerful and less strenuous. This feature is particularly beneficial when you want to maintain pace during longer efforts or feel a spring in your step during tempo runs.
The redesigned haptic mesh upper is a key performance enhancer, offering significantly improved breathability. This keeps your feet cool and comfortable, even during warmer weather or intense workouts. The moulded overlays and synthetic suede bondings provide a secure, locked-down fit without sacrificing flexibility, while the perforated microfibre tongue further enhances comfort by preventing irritation and hot spots. Overall, these trainers are built to support you through extensive mileage, offering a balance of protection, comfort, and responsive energy return.
Using your Cloudmonster Void trainers is straightforward:
Sizing: Ensure you have chosen the correct size. On Running shoes generally run true to size, but trying them on to confirm fit is always recommended for optimal comfort and performance.
Lacing: Lace your trainers comfortably, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you experience pressure points or heel slip.
Break-In: While often comfortable out of the box, allow for a short break-in period over a few short runs to let the shoe adapt to your foot mechanics.
These trainers are primarily designed for:
Surface: Best suited for road running, track workouts, and light, non-technical trails. The substantial cushioning provides protection on hard surfaces.
Running Style: Ideal for neutral runners. The stable CloudTec elements and Speedboard support a natural foot motion.
Distance: Excellent for long runs, daily mileage, and recovery sessions due to their max cushioning.
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Cloudmonster Void trainers:
Cleaning:
Spot Clean: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) or a cloth with mild soap and cold water to gently scrub away dirt and mud from the textile and synthetic upper.
Sole Cleaning: A firmer brush can be used on the outsole to remove lodged debris.
Avoid Submerging: Do not put them in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for prolonged periods.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use strong detergents, bleach, or solvents, as these can degrade the materials.
Rotate: If you run frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of running shoes to allow each pair to fully dry out and recover its cushioning properties.
