FAQs
What type of running are the ON Cloudmonster Void Trainers best for?
These trainers are optimally designed for road running, daily training, and longer distances where exceptional cushioning and energy return are desired. They perform best on hard, paved surfaces.
How often should I replace my Cloudmonster Void Trainers?
The general recommendation for replacing running shoes like the Cloudmonster Void is every 300-500 miles (480-800 km) or annually, whichever comes first. This ensures you maintain optimal cushioning and support for your runs.
Can these trainers be used for trail running?
While durable, the Cloudmonster Void Trainers are primarily optimized for road surfaces. Their chunky sole and tread pattern are designed for cushioning on pavement, and they may not provide the specialized grip, stability, or protection needed for technical trail running conditions.
How do I clean my ON Cloudmonster Void Trainers?
To clean your trainers, gently wipe visible dirt with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid machine washing or submerging them in water. Always air dry them completely at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
Are these trainers true to size?
The ON Cloudmonster Void Trainers are generally considered true to size. However, foot shapes can vary. For the best fit with this specific UK size 11.5 model, it's always recommended to ensure it matches your usual running shoe size or try them on.
What is CloudTec® technology and how does it benefit me?
CloudTec® is ON's patented cushioning system featuring individual hollow 'Clouds' on the sole. It provides a unique running sensation by absorbing vertical and horizontal forces during landing and then firming up for an explosive take-off. This results in a soft landing followed by a powerful push-off, reducing impact and enhancing energy return.
What is the purpose of the 'chunky sole' design?
The elevated, chunky sole maximizes the amount of cushioning material underfoot, providing superior impact absorption and a plush feel. This design contributes significantly to the trainers' overall comfort and the distinctive 'bounce' felt during running, especially on hard surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Trainer feels too tight or uncomfortable during a run
Check your lacing; it might be too tight. Try loosening it, especially over the midfoot. Ensure you're wearing appropriate running socks. If discomfort persists, consider if the size (UK 11.5) or width is truly suitable for your foot.
Reduced cushioning or bounce over time
Running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles (480-800 km). If you've covered significant mileage, the cushioning may be compressed and worn out. It might be time to consider a replacement pair to maintain optimal performance and prevent injury.
Squeaking sound from the sole
A squeaking sound can sometimes be caused by moisture or friction between the insole and the shoe's base. Try removing the insoles, cleaning them and the inside of the shoe, and letting them dry thoroughly before reinserting. Ensure the shoes are completely dry before wearing.
Trainers feel heavier or less responsive than initially
This could be a sign of accumulated dirt or moisture, particularly in the CloudTec® elements. Clean the soles thoroughly, ensuring no debris is lodged in the 'Clouds'. Also, ensure shoes are completely dry before each use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your ON Cloudmonster Void Trainers involves proper setup, understanding their compatibility, and routine care.
Setup
Using your trainers is straightforward:
- Lacing: Insert your foot and ensure your heel is seated comfortably at the back of the shoe. Lace up your trainers, ensuring the laces are snug across the top of your foot but not overly tight. You should be able to wiggle your toes comfortably.
- Break-In: While ON shoes are often comfortable right out of the box, it's advisable to do a few shorter runs or walks to fully break them in before tackling longer distances. This allows the cushioning to adapt to your unique stride.
Compatibility
- Running Surfaces: These trainers are primarily designed for road running, including asphalt, concrete, and well-maintained track surfaces. Their cushioning system excels at absorbing impact on these harder environments.
- Activities: Best suited for various forms of running (daily training, long runs, recovery runs) and general athletic activities requiring cushioned support. They are less ideal for technical trail running or activities requiring significant lateral stability and multi-directional grip.
- Foot Type: Suitable for a wide range of foot types, especially those who prefer a highly cushioned and neutral ride.
Care Instructions
To prolong the life and maintain the performance of your Cloudmonster Void Trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe visible dirt from the upper and sole using a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh cleaning agents or abrasive brushes.
- Drying: Allow your trainers to air dry completely at room temperature after use or cleaning. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers, as excessive heat can damage materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keeping them stuffed with paper can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash your trainers, as this can degrade the cushioning, damage the upper materials, and compromise the shoe's structure.
- Insole Care: Removable insoles can be taken out and air-dried separately to prevent odors.
