On Running Cloudmonster Void Trainers - Black - 11

CloudTec is On Running's patented cushioning system. It features individual 'Clouds' (hollow pods) on the outsole that compress independently upon impact, providing a soft landing. They then lock firm for a powerful push-off, converting impact energy into forward momentum for an energetic, 'running on clouds' sensation.

The Cloudmonster trainers are primarily designed for daily training, road running, and longer distances where maximum cushioning and comfort are priorities. While versatile, their emphasis on cushioning might make them less ideal for speed workouts, track sessions, or highly technical trail running.

For suede, start by removing loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a suede-specific cleaner, applying it gently with a clean cloth according to the product's instructions. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh detergents. Always allow them to air dry away from direct heat.

The elevated, chunky sole significantly increases the amount of cushioning underfoot, absorbing more impact and providing a plush ride. It also contributes to the shoe's energetic bounce, helping to propel you forward and reduce fatigue over long distances, making runs feel more comfortable and efficient.

On Running shoes generally fit true to size for most individuals. However, foot shape and personal preference can vary. It's always recommended to consult On Running's official size guide or try them on if possible to ensure the best fit, especially given the unique sole design.

Absolutely. While engineered for running, the Cloudmonster's exceptional cushioning and comfortable fit make them an excellent choice for walking, long periods of standing, or casual everyday wear. Their distinct style also makes them a fashionable option.

This is a common initial experience with max-cushion shoes. Allow for an adjustment period of a few runs to adapt to the elevated stack height and unique CloudTec feel. Ensure laces are securely tied for optimal foot lockdown.

Suede requires specific care. Use a soft-bristled shoe brush to gently clean off surface dirt. For deeper stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid using water directly or harsh scrubbing.

Ensure your shoes are properly broken in (usually after a few runs). Also, check your running form; proper midfoot striking can help engage the CloudTec technology effectively. Over time, cushioning can naturally degrade; consider the mileage on your shoes.

While information on ventilation isn't provided, ensure you're wearing appropriate running socks designed to wick moisture. Loosening laces slightly can also improve airflow. If the material (suede) retains heat, consider using them in cooler conditions or for shorter runs.
