FAQs
What type of running is the Cloudmonster best suited for?
The Cloudmonster is primarily designed for daily training runs and recovery efforts on hard surfaces like roads and paved paths, offering maximum cushioning and a dynamic ride.
What is CloudTec® cushioning?
CloudTec® is On Running's patented cushioning technology featuring hollow pod-like structures (the 'clouds') that compress upon impact to absorb shock, then lock firm for a powerful push-off. In the Cloudmonster, these are oversized for a 'monster' level of cushioning.
How does the Speedboard™ enhance performance?
The Speedboard™ is a liquid-injected plate located between the midsole and the upper. It stabilizes the CloudTec® elements and converts the energy generated from landing into forward motion, giving you a powerful, snappy take-off and enhanced propulsion.
Are these shoes heavy?
While featuring extensive cushioning for a plush ride, the Cloudmonster is engineered to remain surprisingly lightweight for its maximalist category, focusing on delivering a dynamic and comfortable experience without unnecessary bulk.
Can I use these for racing?
While primarily built for training, the Cloudmonster's dynamic Speedboard™ and responsive cushioning make it capable for faster efforts or longer races where comfort and energy return are prioritized over minimal weight.
How often should I consider replacing my Cloudmonster shoes?
The lifespan of running shoes varies based on individual factors like mileage, running style, and surfaces. A general guideline is to consider replacement every 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning, support, or overall responsiveness.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too firm or too soft initially
Allow for a break-in period of a few runs. The cushioning system needs time to adapt to your unique stride and foot mechanics. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.
Foot slippage inside the shoe during runs
Experiment with different lacing techniques to achieve a more secure, locked-down fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks that help prevent friction and movement.
Unusual noise (e.g., squeaking) from the sole
Check for any small debris, such as pebbles, lodged within the CloudTec elements. If the shoes are new, some minor noises can occur as components settle; ensure shoes are completely dry before use, as moisture can sometimes cause squeaking.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
Running shoe cushioning naturally degrades with mileage. Track your mileage and consider replacement when the shoes no longer provide adequate cushioning or support, typically between 300-500 miles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Getting started with your Cloudmonster shoes is straightforward: simply put them on, ensure a comfortable and secure fit by adjusting the laces, and you're ready to run. No complex setup is required.
Compatibility:
- Intended Use: These shoes are specifically designed for adult male runners for training on hard surfaces such as roads and paved paths.
- Foot Type: Suitable for a wide range of foot types, providing balanced cushioning and support.
Care:
Proper care will extend the lifespan and maintain the performance of your On Running Cloudmonster shoes. Follow these general guidelines:
- Cleaning: Gently remove dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct sunlight or use artificial heat sources (like radiators or dryers), which can warp materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odor and mildew.
- Insoles: Remove insoles periodically to air them out and clean them separately if needed. This helps maintain freshness.
- Avoid Submerging: Try to avoid fully submerging your shoes in water if possible.
