Full details
The On Cloudmonster 3 trainers are designed for adult runners seeking a maximalist shoe for everyday miles, long-distance training, and tempo runs. They offer a smooth yet powerful ride with exceptional energy return, though their pronounced cushioning might not suit runners who prefer a very firm feel underfoot.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Cloudmonster 3?
The primary benefit is its maximalist cushioning combined with high energy return, providing a soft yet propulsive ride ideal for long runs and everyday training.
Are these shoes suitable for racing?
While they offer excellent energy return, their maximalist design is generally geared more towards training and comfort over long distances rather than the ultra-lightweight feel preferred by some for short, fast races.
How do I clean my Cloudmonster 3 trainers?
Clean them using a soft brush or damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Always air dry them away from direct heat sources.
What is the difference between Cloudmonster and other On models?
The Cloudmonster is On's most cushioned shoe, featuring larger Cloud elements and a focus on maximal energy return and soft landings, distinguishing it from lighter or more responsive models in the On range.
Do I need to wear socks with these trainers?
Wearing socks is recommended for comfort, hygiene, and to prevent blisters. The knit upper is designed to be comfortable against the skin, but socks enhance the overall running experience.
What kind of foot strike does the Cloudmonster 3 support?
The shoe's design, with its enhanced rocker and cushioning, supports a variety of foot strikes, but it particularly facilitates a smooth transition from landing to toe-off, benefiting both heel and midfoot strikers.
How long does the cushioning typically last?
With proper care and typical usage (around 30-50 miles per week), the cushioning and performance features should remain effective for 300-500 miles. Factors like running surface, user weight, and gait can affect this lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Laces keep coming undone.
Ensure you are using a secure knot when lacing. If the laces are particularly smooth, consider double-knotting them or replacing them with laces that have more grip.
Shoes feel too firm after break-in.
The Helion™ foam and CloudTec® system may require a break-in period. Try wearing them for shorter distances initially and gradually increasing mileage. Ensure you have the correct size; a shoe that is too small can feel firmer.
Reduced cushioning effect over time.
The CloudTec® elements might become compressed with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are kept clean and dried properly, as moisture and debris can affect performance. If significant compression occurs, it may be time to consider replacement.
Upper material feels restrictive.
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly to allow for foot swelling during runs. The knit mesh is designed to be adaptive, so check that there are no pressure points from incorrect lacing.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional cushioning for long runs and recovery days.
- High energy return provides a propulsive and engaging ride.
- Smooth transition thanks to the enhanced rocker geometry.
- Breathable and comfortable knit upper.
- Durable construction suitable for daily training.
Cons
- May feel too soft for runners who prefer a minimalist or very firm shoe.
- The maximalist design might feel bulky for very fast, short sprints.
- Laces may require occasional re-tying during long efforts.
- Price point may be higher compared to some competitors.
- Rock/Silver colorway might show dirt more easily than darker options.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Cloudmonster 3 comes ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tightness for a secure fit.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for road running and general athletic training. They are compatible with most running insoles if you require additional arch support, but are engineered to provide substantial support on their own.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Cloudmonster 3 trainers:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe away dirt and mud. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials and construction.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can cause materials to degrade or shrink.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp conditions or direct sunlight for extended periods.
