On Running Cloudmonster Void - Black - Size 8 UK

The On Running Cloudmonster Void Trainers are best suited for daily training, recovery runs, and long-distance running where maximum cushioning and comfort are priorities. They offer excellent support and energy return for sustained efforts.

CloudTec is On Running's signature cushioning system featuring individual 'Cloud' elements on the outsole that compress both horizontally and vertically upon impact. This provides adaptive cushioning, absorbing shock efficiently, and then firming up for a powerful push-off.

The 6mm heel-to-toe drop indicates that the heel of the shoe is 6 millimeters higher off the ground than the forefoot. This drop is considered moderate and can promote a more natural midfoot or forefoot strike compared to shoes with higher drops, while still providing some heel cushioning.

To clean your trainers, gently wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Use a soft brush for the outsole to remove dirt. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals, and always air dry them away from direct heat.

Helion superfoam is a highly resilient and durable foam used in the midsole for exceptional cushioning and energy return. The Snappy Speedboard is a flexible plate embedded within the sole that acts like a spring, propelling you forward and enhancing the shoe's responsiveness.

The breathable mesh upper of the Cloudmonster Void Trainers is made from part recycled materials, indicating On Running's commitment to incorporating sustainable practices into their product design.

While the breathable mesh upper offers some flexibility, the Cloudmonster Void is generally designed with a standard running shoe fit. For specific concerns regarding wide feet, it's recommended to try them on or consult a sizing guide, as individual foot shapes vary.

Adjust your lacing. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. If the issue persists, consider trying a half-size up or down, or exploring different lacing patterns like a 'heel lock' for looseness or skipping eyelets for pressure points.

Ensure your shoes are properly broken in (though these are comfortable from the start, a few short runs help). Check your sock type – moisture-wicking running socks are recommended. Verify your shoe size and fit, as improper sizing is a common cause of blisters. You may also need to adjust your running form slightly to adapt to the rocker sole.

A common cause is a loose insole rubbing against the bottom of the shoe. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder underneath, and reinserting it. If the squeak persists, it could be due to moisture trapped within the sole unit or a manufacturing anomaly; contact customer support if it's persistent and bothersome.

Running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles. If you've put significant mileage on them, the cushioning materials may be compressed and losing their effectiveness. This is a sign that it might be time to replace your shoes. Ensure proper care has been followed to maximize their lifespan.
