FAQs
What type of running are the Cloudmonster trainers best for?
They are best suited for road running, particularly for daily training, long runs, recovery runs, and runners who prioritize maximum cushioning and comfort.
How do I clean my On Cloudmonster trainers?
Clean using a soft brush for dry dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for stubborn grime. Avoid machine washing or soaking the shoes. Always air dry them away from heat.
What makes the cushioning in the Cloudmonster unique?
The Cloudmonster features a double layer of CloudTec Phase cushioning combined with a Helion superfoam midsole, providing exceptional softness and responsive energy return for a unique running sensation.
Can I use these trainers for trail running?
They are primarily designed for road running. While they can handle light gravel paths or well-maintained trails due to their grippy outsole, they are not optimized for technical off-road terrain.
What is the expected lifespan of these trainers?
Like most running shoes, the Cloudmonster trainers typically last between 300-500 miles (480-800 km) before the cushioning and support significantly degrade, though this can vary based on running style, surface, and care.
Are these trainers suitable for neutral runners or those who pronate?
The Cloudmonster is generally considered a neutral shoe, offering good stability through its construction and Speedboard. While it can work for mild pronation, runners with significant overpronation might benefit from a stability-focused shoe.
What is the weight of the On Cloudmonster trainers?
The weight can vary slightly by size, but they are generally considered a maximally cushioned shoe, meaning they will be heavier than minimalist or lightweight racing shoes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Adjust the lacing to find a more comfortable fit. Ensure you have the correct size; consider trying a half-size up or down if the current fit is consistently problematic. The built-in tongue may require some breaking in.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
Ensure the shoes are clean, as dirt and debris can affect performance. While Helion superfoam is durable, its peak responsiveness may diminish after extensive mileage (typically 300-500 miles), indicating it might be time for a new pair.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole provides good grip, all shoes have limitations on wet surfaces. Exercise caution when running on wet roads or hard-packed wet trails. Ensure the outsole is free from debris.
Upper material feels abrasive
This is uncommon, but if the engineered mesh feels abrasive, ensure socks are worn correctly and are of suitable material. The shoes may require a short break-in period for the upper to soften slightly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. The lacing system allows for adjustment to achieve a secure fit.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for road running. While the rubber outsole offers good traction, they are best suited for paved surfaces, light gravel paths, and well-maintained trails. They are not intended for highly technical off-road terrain.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
