The Cloudmonster is best suited for daily training, long-distance runs, and recovery runs on paved roads and urban surfaces. Its maximal cushioning makes it excellent for high-mileage comfort.
CloudTec® is On Running's proprietary cushioning technology featuring hollow 'Clouds' that compress on impact for soft landings and then firm up for powerful take-offs, providing a unique 'running on clouds' sensation.
The Cloudmonster trainers are remarkably lightweight, weighing approximately 230 grams, despite their substantial cushioning.
Yes, On Running has incorporated sustainable practices in the Cloudmonster. Approximately 80% of the polyester used in the upper is recycled, and about 30% of the entire shoe is made from recycled materials.
While durable, the Cloudmonster is specifically designed for road-ready resilience and optimal performance on paved surfaces. For trail running, a shoe with a more aggressive outsole and protective upper designed for varied terrain would be more suitable.
The On Running Cloudmonster features a 6mm heel-to-toe drop, which is a common and versatile drop for many road runners, promoting a balanced stride.
The Speedboard® is a plate embedded in the midsole that works with the CloudTec® system to transform energy generated during impact into forward momentum, creating an explosive and dynamic ride.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks, preferably moisture-wicking synthetic blends, which can help manage foot temperature better than cotton socks. The recycled polyester upper is breathable, but sock choice plays a crucial role.
The Cloudmonster features a significant amount of cushioning and a Speedboard® which may require a short break-in period. Wear them for a few shorter walks or runs before tackling longer distances. The Helion™ superfoam will adapt to your foot over time.
Try using a 'double knot' or 'surgeon's knot' for added security. Ensure the laces are evenly tightened across your foot to prevent excessive movement that could loosen them.
The On Running Cloudmonster features a standard lacing system for a bespoke and secure fit. To set up your shoes for optimal comfort and performance:
These trainers are designed for adult male runners looking for a maximal cushioned shoe. They are primarily compatible with road running and are excellent for daily mileage, long runs, and recovery efforts. While suitable for urban environments and paved surfaces, their design focuses on road resilience, making them less ideal for rugged trails or highly technical terrain. They pair well with various running apparel and are available in different UK sizes.
Proper care will extend the life of your Cloudmonster trainers, especially given their high content of recycled polyester.
