FAQs
What kind of runs are the Cloudmonster best for?
The Cloudmonster is optimized for long runs, recovery runs, and your daily training routine. Its maximal cushioning makes it ideal for comfort over extended distances.
How much do the Cloudmonster shoes weigh?
These shoes are incredibly lightweight for a maximal cushioned shoe, weighing in at approximately 230 grams (8.1 oz) for a men's UK 8.5/US 9.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of these shoes?
The On Running Cloudmonster features a 6mm heel-to-toe drop, which is a moderate drop suitable for a wide range of runners.
Are these shoes suitable for walking or casual wear?
While designed for running, the extreme comfort and stylish all-black aesthetic make them perfectly suitable for casual wear and walking, offering plush cushioning for everyday activities.
Are the Cloudmonster environmentally friendly?

How should I clean my On Cloudmonster shoes?
To clean your Cloudmonster shoes, gently wipe them with a mild soap and cold water solution using a soft cloth or sponge. Allow them to air dry naturally. Do not machine wash or use direct heat for drying.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel hot and sweaty during runs.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking running socks. The Cloudmonster has a breathable upper, but synthetic socks designed for running will help manage moisture better than cotton socks. Also, consider if your shoes are tied too tightly, restricting airflow.
The cushioning feels less responsive after many runs.
Running shoes have a finite lifespan. If you've accumulated significant mileage (typically 300-500 miles), the foam's ability to rebound will naturally decrease. This is a normal sign of wear, and it may be time to consider replacing your shoes for optimal performance and injury prevention.
I experience some heel slippage while running.
Try using the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to create a 'heel lock' or 'runner's knot.' This technique can secure your heel more effectively. Also, ensure your socks are not too thin, which can contribute to slippage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Lacing: The Cloudmonster features a standard lacing system. Ensure you lace them securely but not too tightly to allow for natural foot expansion during runs. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you experience pressure points or heel slippage. A common technique for better heel hold is using the extra eyelet at the top.
Compatibility
Running Surface: These trainers are specifically designed for road running. Their durable outsole provides optimal traction on asphalt, concrete, and paved paths.
Runner Type: Ideal for neutral runners seeking maximal cushioning. While some stability is provided by the wide base, they are not specifically designed for overpronators or supinators needing dedicated motion control.
Activities: Best suited for long runs, daily training, and recovery runs. Less ideal for track workouts, very fast intervals, or highly technical trail running where more specialized footwear would perform better.
Care
Cleaning: After runs, especially in wet or muddy conditions, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water mixture with a soft cloth or sponge. Gently scrub soiled areas. Do NOT machine wash or machine dry, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers) as these can degrade the materials.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid leaving them in a hot car, as extreme temperatures can affect the integrity of the foam and upper materials.
Lifespan: Running shoe lifespan varies but generally ranges from 300-500 miles. Pay attention to signs of wear, such as diminished cushioning, flattened outsole lugs, or persistent discomfort, as these indicate it might be time for a new pair.
