FAQs
What type of runner is the Cloudmonster best suited for?
The Cloudmonster is ideal for runners seeking maximum cushioning and energy return, particularly for daily runs, long-distance training, and marathon preparation on asphalt surfaces.
How does the CloudTec® cushioning work?
CloudTec® is On's patented cushioning system. In the Cloudmonster, it consists of elements that compress horizontally during landing for a soft impact and then firm up to create a powerful forward-facing propulsion during takeoff.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
These shoes are specifically designed for asphalt running. While they may offer some grip on light trails, they lack the aggressive tread and protection needed for serious trail running.
How often should I replace my Cloudmonster trainers?
For optimal performance and cushioning, it is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (480-800 km), depending on your weight, running style, and the surfaces you run on.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The standard lace-up closure allows for some adjustment. However, the fit is designed for a standard width foot. If you have particularly wide feet, it's advisable to try them on before purchasing or check reviews regarding fit for wider feet.
What is the benefit of the rocker shape?
The rocker shape encourages a rolling motion, promoting a smoother and more efficient transition from landing to toe-off, which helps to increase momentum and reduce the perceived effort during the run.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Adjust the lacing pattern. Try different lacing techniques to find a more comfortable fit for your foot shape. Ensure the correct size has been selected.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
While the Super Helion™ superfoam is durable, cushioning can decrease with extensive use. Inspect for excessive wear on the outsole and midsole. For optimal performance, consider replacing after 300-500 miles, depending on usage and terrain.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The outsole is designed for dry to moderately wet asphalt. For very wet conditions, exercise caution as grip may be reduced compared to specialized wet-weather shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred comfort and security level. It is recommended to wear them for a short walk or easy jog initially to allow your feet to adapt to the cushioning and fit.

Optimized for running on asphalt and other hard, paved surfaces. While they can be used for general fitness activities, their core design is for road running. They are suitable for adult runners of all levels looking for maximum cushioning and energy return.
Care:
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
