The On Running Cloudmonster Void is engineered to deliver a unique running experience, particularly for those who prioritize cushioning and a responsive feel. The combination of Helion superfoam and CloudTec cushioning works in harmony to absorb significant impact, making it an excellent choice for daily training runs, long distances, and recovery efforts. You'll notice a plush feel underfoot, without sacrificing the energetic 'pop' that propels you forward.
The Speedboard is crucial for this propulsion. It acts as a lever, transforming the energy from landing into a powerful liftoff, promoting a more efficient and dynamic stride. This makes the Cloudmonster Void feel surprisingly fast despite its maximal cushioning.
The technical-inspired haptic mesh upper ensures your feet remain comfortable and well-ventilated, even during warmer conditions or longer runs. The moulded overlays and synthetic suede bondings provide strategic support, locking your foot in place without feeling restrictive. The perforated microfibre tongue further enhances breathability and overall comfort, preventing pressure points across the top of your foot.
This shoe is ideal for runners who appreciate a well-cushioned ride for sustained efforts. It performs well on pavement and light trails, offering reliable grip and stability. While it excels in comfort and energy return, some runners might find its maximal cushioning less suitable for highly technical terrain or short, fast-paced intervals where a more minimalist shoe might offer better ground feel.
There is no complex setup required for your On Running Cloudmonster Void trainers. Simply unbox, lace them up, and adjust the fit to your comfort. Ensure laces are snug but not overly tight to prevent discomfort or restricted blood flow.
These trainers are designed for general road running and light trail use. They are compatible with various running styles, particularly suiting neutral runners who appreciate maximal cushioning. They pair well with standard athletic socks.
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Cloudmonster Void trainers. Given the textile, synthetic, and suede components, follow these guidelines:
Cleaning:
Remove excess dirt by gently brushing or tapping the shoes together.
Mix a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap) with water.
Using a soft brush or cloth, gently scrub the upper (mesh, synthetic areas) and sole. For suede sections, use a specialized suede brush or a very soft, dry cloth to avoid water stains.
Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
Drying:
Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators) as these can cause materials to shrink, crack, or warp.
Storage:
Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Keep them free from excessive moisture.
Regular Inspection:
Periodically check the outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris that could affect grip.
Inspect the upper for any signs of tearing or separation, addressing minor issues early.
