FAQs
What type of running are these shoes best suited for?
The On Running Cloudmonster trainers are optimally designed for road running, daily training, long distances, and recovery runs on paved surfaces, offering maximal cushioning and energy return.
How much do the Cloudmonster shoes weigh?
The On Running Cloudmonster weighs approximately 230 grams (based on a UK 9.5 size), making them remarkably lightweight for a maximalist cushioned shoe.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of these shoes?
The Cloudmonster features a 6mm heel-to-toe drop, which promotes a balanced stride and is suitable for various foot strike patterns.
Are these shoes environmentally friendly?
Yes, a significant part of the Cloudmonster's construction is environmentally conscious, with the upper made from an impressive 80% recycled polyester.
Do I need to size up or down with the Cloudmonster?
The On Running Cloudmonster is designed to fit true to size. It's recommended to purchase your standard running shoe size for the best fit.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
While the robust cushioning can handle light, non-technical paths, the Cloudmonster is primarily optimized for road surfaces. For technical or rugged trails, a dedicated trail running shoe with specific outsole grip and upper protection would be more suitable.
How should I clean my On Running Cloudmonster shoes?
Gently wipe the shoes with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely, away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents to protect the materials and cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel hot or sweaty during runs despite breathable mesh.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking running socks. While the shoe's mesh upper provides good ventilation, the type of sock can significantly impact foot temperature and comfort. Consider lighter, more breathable sock materials.
Laces frequently come undone during runs.
Utilize a double knot or a specialized runner's knot to secure the standard laces more firmly. Experiment with the tension to find a balance between security and comfort, avoiding overtightening which can cause pressure points.
The cushioning feels less responsive over time.
Running shoe cushioning naturally compresses and degrades with extended use. Monitor your mileage; most running shoes, including the Cloudmonster, typically require replacement between 300-500 miles, depending on individual running style, body weight, and running frequency. Reduced responsiveness is a key indicator that it might be time for a new pair.

Getting started with your Cloudmonster shoes is straightforward. Simply lace them up using the standard lacing system for a secure, bespoke fit; they are designed to fit true to your usual running shoe size. These trainers are compatible with adult male runners (this specific variant is UK 9.5, other sizes and gender options are available in the Cloudmonster series) and are best suited for road and urban running environments due to their outsole design and cushioning focus. To maintain the performance and longevity of your Cloudmonster shoes, it is recommended to gently wipe down the breathable mesh upper and the sole with a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap. Allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the materials and cushioning properties. Regular cleaning helps preserve the integrity of the breathable mesh and the responsiveness of the foam.
