FAQs
What type of runner is the On Cloudmonster best suited for?
The Cloudmonster is ideal for neutral runners who prioritize maximum cushioning and energy return for daily training, long runs, and recovery efforts on road surfaces.
How does the CloudTec® system work?
CloudTec® is On's proprietary cushioning technology. In the Cloudmonster, it utilizes larger Cloud elements made from Helion™ superfoam to provide exceptional impact absorption and a responsive feel.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
While the durable outsole can handle light gravel, the Cloudmonster is primarily designed for road running. For technical trails with uneven surfaces, a dedicated trail running shoe is recommended.
How often should I replace my Cloudmonster trainers?
Most running shoes, including the Cloudmonster, should be replaced every 300-500 miles (480-800 km) or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning and support.
Are these shoes good for marathon training?
Yes, their high level of cushioning and energy return make them an excellent choice for the demands of marathon training, especially for longer runs where comfort and protection are key.
How do I clean my On Cloudmonster shoes?
Clean them using a damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, and let them air dry naturally away from direct heat.
What is the main difference between the Cloudmonster and other On models?
The Cloudmonster stands out with its significantly higher stack height and larger Cloud elements, offering maximum cushioning and a more pronounced forward-rolling sensation compared to other On models like the Cloudflow or Cloudswift.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing. Try different lacing techniques or ensure the laces are tied with consistent tension. If the issue persists, consider if this is the correct size for your foot.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.
This is a sign of normal wear. Foam and cushioning materials degrade over time. Consider replacing the shoes if they have been used for a significant number of miles (typically 300-500 miles).
Discomfort in the arch or heel.
Ensure the laces are tied correctly to support your arch. If the discomfort is persistent, the shoe's shape might not be compatible with your foot anatomy. Consider consulting with a running specialist.
Squeaking noise during runs.
This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal components or moisture. Try airing out the shoes thoroughly. If the noise persists, it may be a minor manufacturing anomaly and often resolves with continued use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure a proper fit by tying the laces securely to match your foot's comfort level. The standard lace-up system allows for a customizable fit across the midfoot.
Compatibility: The On Cloudmonster trainers are designed for road running. They are compatible with most athletic socks. They are not designed for use with custom orthotics that significantly alter the shoe's internal volume.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Cloudmonsters:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the shoes with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or submerging in water, as this can damage the materials and construction.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, which can degrade the foam and adhesives.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in hot cars or damp environments.
- Wear and Tear: Regularly inspect the outsole for excessive wear and the midsole for any signs of degradation. Replace the shoes when the cushioning feels diminished or the outsole tread is significantly worn.
