Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your On Running Cloudmonster shoes is straightforward:
- Lacing: Utilize the standard lacing system to secure the shoes to your feet. Ensure a snug fit that is comfortable without being too tight, allowing for natural foot expansion during your run.
- True to Size: These shoes generally fit true to size. Select your usual running shoe size for the best fit.
Compatibility
- Running Surface: The Cloudmonster is primarily designed for road running and urban environments. Its grippy outsole and cushioning system are optimized for hard, paved surfaces.
- Runner Type: Best suited for recreational runners who enjoy maximal cushioning and appreciate an energetic, plush ride.
- Heel-to-Toe Drop: Features a 6mm heel-to-toe drop, which is a common and versatile drop suitable for a wide range of running gaits.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and performance of your Cloudmonster shoes:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush). For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap mixed with water and a soft cloth or sponge. Lightly scrub the upper and sole.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures when not in use. Avoid leaving them in a car on a hot day.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or dry your running shoes, as this can degrade the cushioning, adhesives, and upper materials.
- Insoles: Remove insoles periodically to air them out, especially if they become damp from sweat, to prevent odor buildup.
