FAQs
Who are the On Running Cloudmonster shoes best suited for?
These shoes are best suited for recreational and avid road runners who prioritize maximal cushioning, comfort, and an energized ride for daily training and long-distance runs.
What is the weight of a single Cloudmonster shoe?
A single Cloudmonster shoe weighs approximately 230 grams, offering a lightweight feel despite its substantial cushioning.
What is CloudTec® cushioning?
CloudTec® is On Running's proprietary cushioning technology featuring hollow pods (Clouds) that compress upon impact to provide soft landings and then lock together for explosive take-offs, creating a unique 'running on clouds' sensation. The Cloudmonster features the largest CloudTec® ever for maximum bounce.
What is the heel-to-toe drop for these shoes?
The On Running Cloudmonster has a 6mm heel-to-toe drop, which promotes a more natural foot strike and efficient forward rolling motion.
Are these shoes environmentally friendly?
Yes, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability, the Cloudmonster features an upper made with an astonishing 80% recycled polyester.
How do I ensure I get the correct size?
The Cloudmonster is designed to fit true to size. We recommend selecting your usual running shoe size for the optimal fit. If unsure, refer to On Running's sizing chart.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
While durable, the Cloudmonster is primarily designed and optimized for road running. Its cushioning system and outsole pattern are best suited for paved surfaces and urban environments, rather than technical or uneven trail conditions.
How often should I replace my Cloudmonster trainers?
The typical lifespan for high-performance running shoes is between 300 to 500 miles, though this can vary based on your running style, weight, and the surfaces you run on. Monitor the cushioning and outsole wear for signs that replacement is needed.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel hot or sweaty during runs.
While the shoe is made with polyester, breathability can vary. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking running socks. If the issue persists, consider trying the shoes in cooler conditions or on shorter runs. Info needed: Specific upper breathability features.
The cushioning feels less responsive over time.
All running shoe cushioning materials, including CloudTec® and Helion™ foam, will naturally compress and lose some responsiveness over extensive use. This is normal wear and tear. Most running shoes have a lifespan of 300-500 miles; if you're approaching this mileage, it might be time to consider a replacement pair.
My laces keep coming undone during runs.
Try using a double knot when tying your laces for extra security. You can also explore different lacing techniques, such as a surgeon's knot, to provide a more secure fit and prevent loosening.
I experience some discomfort or rubbing in specific areas.
Ensure your shoes are properly broken in over a few shorter runs before tackling long distances. Check that your socks are not bunching up. If discomfort persists, reassess your sizing and ensure you have enough room in the toe box. The shoes are designed for a true-to-size fit, but individual foot shapes vary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your Cloudmonster shoes is straightforward. Simply unbox them and adjust the standard laces to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. The shoes are designed to be true to size, so you should find your usual running shoe size provides the optimal fit. Take them for a short walk or light jog to ensure comfort before your first full run.
Compatibility
These trainers are primarily designed for road running and are best suited for recreational runners and those who enjoy maximal cushioning. They are excellent for daily training, long-distance runs, and recovery jogs. While they offer good grip on dry paved surfaces, their specific outsole design is optimized for urban and road environments rather than technical trails or very uneven terrain.
Care
Proper care will extend the life of your Cloudmonster trainers and maintain their performance.
- Cleaning: After runs, gently brush off any loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, wipe the polyester upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the materials and technologies.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can degrade the materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for extended periods.
- Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating your Cloudmonster with other running shoes to allow the cushioning to fully decompress and extend the lifespan of each pair.
