FAQs

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

The On Cloudmonster Trainers are ideal for daily training, recovery runs, long-distance efforts, and general everyday wear where maximum cushioning, comfort, and energy return are desired.

Are these shoes suitable for all foot types?

They are primarily designed for neutral runners seeking a highly cushioned and responsive experience. While very comfortable, individuals with severe overpronation might require shoes with more specific stability features.

How should I clean my On Cloudmonster Trainers?

Clean them by hand using a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials.

What makes the Cloudmonster 'run on clouds'?

This sensation comes from the combination of On's largest-ever CloudTec® cushioning for soft landings, the propulsive Speedboard® for energy return, and the responsive Helion™ superfoam, all working together to create a bouncy, comfortable ride.

Are these trainers made with sustainable materials?

Yes, the On Cloudmonster Trainers are partially made with 30% recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable product.

Can I use these shoes for competitive racing?

While highly responsive, the Cloudmonster is optimized for comfort and energy return during daily training, long runs, and urban exploration. For competitive racing, some runners might prefer lighter, more aggressive racing flats, though these can certainly perform well in longer races.

What is the benefit of the radical rocker shape?

The radical rocker shape is designed to promote a smooth and efficient rolling motion from footstrike to toe-off, helping to propel you forward and reduce effort during your stride.

Troubleshooting

My feet feel too warm or sweaty.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking running socks. The airy knit upper is designed for breathability, but sock choice plays a significant role. Allow shoes to fully air dry between uses.

The shoes feel less cushioned or responsive over time.

Running shoes have a lifespan. Excessive mileage or prolonged use can compress cushioning. Consider if it's time for a new pair. Regular cleaning and proper drying can help maintain material integrity.

My heel slips when I run.

Try different lacing techniques, such as a 'runner's knot' or 'heel lock' lacing, to secure your ankle and prevent slippage. Ensure your socks are not too thin or slippery.

I hear a squeaking sound while running.

Check for any trapped debris between the Cloud elements or in the outsole. Sometimes, slight friction between the insole and the shoe's last can cause squeaking; try removing and reinserting the insole or applying a small amount of baby powder underneath.

The shoes feel stiff or unnatural.

Ensure you've completed a short break-in period. The radical rocker shape and Speedboard® are designed to propel you forward, which might feel different initially if you're used to traditional flat-soled shoes. Give your feet time to adapt to the unique geometry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care for Your On Cloudmonster Trainers

To ensure you get the best performance and longevity from your On Cloudmonster Trainers, follow these guidelines.

Setup

  1. First Fit: When you first receive your trainers, try them on with your typical running socks. Ensure there's a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe, and that your heel feels secure without excessive slipping.
  2. Lacing: Experiment with different lacing techniques to find the most comfortable and secure fit for your foot shape. Avoid over-tightening, which can restrict blood flow, or under-tightening, which can lead to instability.
  3. Break-In Period: While generally comfortable out of the box, allow for a short break-in period of a few short walks or easy runs to fully adapt to the shoe's cushioning and rocker geometry.

Compatibility

  • Gender & Age Group: Designed for adult males, as per this specific variant (UK 11).
  • Running Style: Best suited for neutral runners or those who desire maximum cushioning and responsiveness for daily training, long runs, and recovery. The oversized comfort caters to those who prioritize plushness over minimalist ground feel.
  • Surfaces: The rubber sole provides reliable grip on typical road, pavement, and light trail surfaces. It's an excellent choice for urban running environments.

Care & Maintenance

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

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the airy knit upper and synthetic skin layers. For the rubber sole, a brush can help remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  2. Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them in direct sunlight, on radiators, or use a machine dryer, as excessive heat can damage materials and adhesives.
  3. Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp environments, which can encourage odor and material degradation.
  4. Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes to absorb moisture and neutralize smells.
  5. Avoid Machine Washing: Never put your trainers in a washing machine, as this can severely damage the cushioning, glues, and upper materials, compromising their integrity and performance.
