On Cloudmonster - Grey - UK 8

These shoes are ideal for recreational runners who prioritize maximal cushioning, comfort, and energy return for daily training, long runs, and recovery jogs on road surfaces.

CloudTec® refers to the unique cloud-shaped elements in the sole that compress upon impact to provide soft landings. The Speedboard® is a plate embedded within the sole that helps stabilize the foot and convert the energy from landing into powerful forward propulsion for an effortless stride.

The On Cloudmonster features a 6mm heel-to-toe drop, which is a moderate differential suitable for a variety of running gaits and preferences.

While comfortable and energetic, the Cloudmonster is primarily built for mileage and comfort. For dedicated racing, especially shorter distances, some runners might prefer lighter, more aggressive racing flats. However, they can certainly be used for longer distance races if maximal cushioning is your priority.

It's best to clean them by hand using a soft brush, mild soap, and cold water. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals. Let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.

The upper is constructed from an airy knit with synthetic skin layers, predominantly made from 80% recycled polyester. The sole features CloudTec® cushioning with Helion™ superfoam and a durable rubber outsole.

Adjust the standard lacing system. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find the most comfortable and secure fit for your foot. Ensure you have the correct size.

Running shoe cushioning naturally compresses over many miles. Assess your mileage; most running shoes last between 300-500 miles. Consider if it's time for a new pair. Also, ensure proper storage (cool, dry place) to prevent premature material degradation.

While the rubber sole offers reliable grip, no shoe is entirely slip-proof on all wet surfaces. Adjust your stride, shorten your steps, and reduce speed when encountering wet or slick conditions. Check the sole for excessive wear or debris.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Re-evaluate your lacing; a too-tight or too-loose fit can cause issues. Allow a break-in period for new shoes. If discomfort persists, consult a running specialist to check shoe fit and your biomechanics.
