Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Ensure proper lacing for a secure, yet comfortable fit. Avoid overtightening, which can restrict blood flow, or leaving them too loose, which can cause friction.
- First Wear: Wear your new Cloudmonster shoes for short periods initially to allow your feet to adapt to the unique cushioning and rocker sensation, especially if you're new to maximalist shoes.
- Sock Choice: Pair with technical running socks to enhance comfort, manage moisture, and prevent blisters.
Compatibility
- Running Surfaces: Best suited for road running and paved surfaces. They can also perform well on well-groomed, non-technical trails.
- Activity Type: Ideal for daily training, long-distance runs, recovery runs, and any activity where maximum cushioning is desired. Not typically recommended for speed work or highly technical trail running.
Care
To ensure the longevity and performance of your On Running Cloudmonster shoes (made with Polyester upper):
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft cloth or brush. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can deform the shoe or damage glues.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them in damp environments.
