FAQs

What type of running is the On Running Cloudmonster best suited for?

The Cloudmonster is best suited for daily training, long runs, and recovery runs on roads and paved surfaces. Its maximal cushioning makes it excellent for high-mileage comfort.

Is the Cloudmonster suitable for speed work or racing?

While the shoe offers an energetic ride, its primary design focus is maximal cushioning and comfort for sustained efforts. For dedicated speed work or racing, some runners might prefer a lighter, more minimalist shoe with less cushioning, though it can certainly handle faster paces.

What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Cloudmonster?

The On Running Cloudmonster has a 6mm heel-to-toe drop, which is a moderate drop designed to support a natural running stride.

How do I clean my Cloudmonster trainers?

To clean your trainers, gently brush off any loose dirt. Use a soft cloth or brush with mild soap and water to clean the upper and midsole. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat.

Are these shoes true to size?

On Running shoes generally run true to size. We recommend ordering your usual running shoe size. If you are unsure, consult a sizing chart or try them on to ensure the best fit.

What does '80% recycled polyester' mean for the shoe?

This means that 80% of the polyester used in the upper part of the shoe is made from recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable production process and reducing environmental impact.

Will the large Cloud elements get stones stuck in them?

While it's possible for small debris to get lodged in the Cloud elements of any On Running shoe, the design of the Cloudmonster aims to minimize this. Regular inspection and clearing of any lodged items will maintain performance.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too bulky or less responsive than expected.

The Cloudmonster features maximal cushioning, which prioritizes comfort and impact absorption over minimalist ground feel. Allow for a break-in period; if the feeling persists, ensure the lacing isn't too tight, restricting foot movement.

Laces frequently come undone during runs.

Ensure you are using a secure double knot when lacing your shoes. You can also experiment with different lacing techniques if a standard knot proves insufficient.

Foot feels hot or sweaty during runs.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks made of moisture-wicking materials. The upper is designed for breathability, but sock choice plays a significant role in foot temperature regulation.

Squeaking sound from the shoes while running.

This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the shoe's lining. Try removing the insole, cleaning underneath it, and then reinserting it. If it persists, a light dusting of baby powder under the insole can sometimes help.

Experiencing minor foot discomfort or rubbing.

Verify that your lacing provides a snug but not overly tight fit. Break-in periods are common for new shoes; gradually increase your mileage to allow your feet to adapt. Ensure your socks are seamless and correctly sized.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional maximal cushioning provides superior comfort for long and recovery runs.
  • Energizing and playful underfoot sensation, encouraging forward momentum.
  • Smooth and fast transitions due to the radical rocker shape and Speedboard®.
  • Remarkably lightweight despite its high level of cushioning.
  • Significant use of recycled materials demonstrates environmental consciousness.
  • Versatile for daily training, long runs, and recovery efforts.

Cons

  • Maximal cushioning may offer less ground feel compared to minimalist shoes, which some runners prefer for certain training types.
  • The unique, 'monster' aesthetic and highly cushioned feel might not appeal to all runners accustomed to traditional designs.
  • The 6mm heel-to-toe drop, while common, may not suit all individual biomechanics without an adjustment period.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The On Running Cloudmonster features a standard lacing system designed to secure a bespoke and comfortable fit. To set up your shoes:

  1. Lace Up: Thread the laces through all eyelets, ensuring even tension.
  2. Adjust Fit: Tighten the laces from the toes upwards to achieve a snug, yet comfortable fit around your foot. Avoid over-tightening, which can cause discomfort.
  3. Secure Knot: Tie a secure knot, ideally a double knot, to prevent laces from coming undone during your run.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for road running, daily training, long runs, and recovery runs. Their maximal cushioning and forward-rolling motion make them highly compatible with varied paces in these contexts. They are best suited for runners who enjoy a highly cushioned and protective ride on paved surfaces.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Cloudmonster trainers:

  • Cleaning: After runs, especially in dirty conditions, gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap (like hand soap) mixed with water and a soft brush or cloth to scrub the upper and midsole. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Drying: Allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not put them in a dryer or expose them to direct heat sources, as this can damage materials.
  • Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider removing insoles occasionally to allow both the shoe interior and insoles to air out.
  • Avoid Washing Machine: Do not machine wash your running shoes, as this can degrade materials and glues.
