FAQs
What type of runner is the Cloudmonster 3 best suited for?
The Cloudmonster 3 is ideal for adult male runners, particularly those who prefer a maximalist shoe for long-distance training, everyday miles, and tempo runs. It suits runners looking for significant cushioning and energy return.
How does the CloudTec® cushioning work?
CloudTec® consists of unique elements on the outsole that compress horizontally upon impact, absorbing shock, and then return to their original position to create a powerful, propulsive takeoff.
Can I use these for trail running?
The Cloudmonster 3 is primarily designed for road running. While the outsole offers some grip, it is not optimized for the varied terrain and technical demands of trail running.
What is the benefit of the Speedboard®?
The Speedboard® is a plate designed to work with the CloudTec® elements. It provides stability and enhances the natural rolling motion of the foot, contributing to a more efficient and propulsive stride.
How do I choose the correct size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the manufacturer. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box, and the shoe fits snugly around the heel and midfoot without being too tight.
Are these shoes waterproof?
The knit mesh upper offers breathability but is not waterproof. The shoes are designed for running in various weather conditions but will not keep your feet dry in heavy rain or puddles.
What is the difference between Cloudmonster and other On running shoes?
The Cloudmonster line features On's most significant cushioning. Compared to models like the Cloudflow or Cloudswift, the Cloudmonster provides a more substantial and softer feel, prioritizing comfort and impact absorption for longer efforts.
Troubleshooting
Laces not staying tied
Ensure you are using a secure knot. If laces are worn, consider replacing them with new ones.
Discomfort during initial wear
This is normal for shoes with advanced cushioning systems. Wear them for shorter runs initially to allow them to break in and adapt to your foot.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
The lifespan of cushioning can be affected by usage and mileage. For optimal performance, consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles of running.
Traction issues on wet surfaces
While the outsole offers good grip, extreme wet conditions can reduce traction. Run with caution on very slick surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the laces are tied to your preferred tightness for a secure fit. The low padded collar and knit upper are designed to conform to your foot over time.
Compatibility: The On Cloudmonster 3 is designed for road running and general training. It is compatible with most standard running sock types. The compressed rubber outsole provides good traction on dry and lightly wet paved surfaces.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, brush off any loose dirt or mud. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are clean before long-term storage.
