Product Information
Full details
The On Running Cloudmonster trainers are designed for adult runners seeking maximum cushioning and energy return for comfortable, long-distance runs. Their key benefit lies in the ultra-soft landings provided by the largest CloudTec® elements yet, combined with a responsive Speedboard® for explosive takeoffs. A potential caveat is that the pronounced cushioning and unique sole design may require a short adjustment period for some runners.

FAQs
Are these shoes good for beginners?
Yes, the high level of cushioning makes them very forgiving and comfortable for new runners, helping to reduce impact and build confidence.
What is the main difference between Cloudmonster and other On running shoes?
The Cloudmonster features the largest CloudTec® elements in the On lineup, offering maximum cushioning and a distinct, highly comfortable ride compared to models with more minimalist cushioning.
Can I use these for trail running?
These shoes are primarily designed for road running. While they can handle light, non-technical trails in dry conditions, they lack the aggressive traction and protection needed for serious trail running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The Cloudmonster is described as 'true to size fit'. Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. Your heel should feel secure without slipping.
Are they waterproof?
No, the Cloudmonster trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable materials for comfort during runs, which means they will allow water to penetrate if submerged or exposed to heavy rain.
What is the lifespan of the cushioning?
Like all running shoes, the cushioning will gradually compress over time and mileage. For optimal performance and comfort, most runners replace their shoes between 300-500 miles (approx. 500-800 km).
Do they come in other colors?
Yes, the Cloudmonster series is available in various colorways. Please check the product listings for current availability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing pattern. Try lacing techniques like a runner's knot or skip eyelets to customize pressure points. Ensure you have the correct size; consider the 'true to size fit' noted in the description.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness after initial use
Ensure the shoes are clean, especially the CloudTec® elements, as debris can sometimes affect performance. Check that the Speedboard® is not obstructed. If the issue persists after significant mileage, the cushioning may have naturally compressed with use.
Squeaking noise during walking or running
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers or the outsole. Try ensuring the shoes are completely dry. If the noise persists, it might be a characteristic of the materials interacting.
Poor grip on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole provides good grip, extremely wet or slick surfaces can challenge any shoe. Ensure the outsole is free of mud or debris. For exceptionally wet conditions, consider slower paces or alternative footwear if available.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets. For optimal fit, adjust the lace tension to your preference, ensuring a snug feel around the midfoot without restricting circulation. The shoes are true to size, so select your standard UK shoe size.
Compatibility: The Cloudmonster is designed primarily for road running. It is compatible with most standard running sock types. While not optimized for trail running, they can handle light gravel paths or packed dirt in dry conditions.
Care:
- Cleaning: After runs, use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove loose dirt and mud from the upper and outsole. For deeper cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp conditions.
