FAQs

What type of runner are the Cloudmonster Trainers best for?

These trainers are ideal for runners seeking maximum cushioning and an energizing ride, perfect for long-distance training, daily runs, and recovery efforts. They suit both seasoned runners and those new to running who prioritize comfort.

How does the CloudTec® cushioning work?

The CloudTec® system features individual hollow 'Clouds' made from high-performance foam. These compress horizontally and vertically upon impact, absorbing shock, then lock together to form a firm foundation for an explosive take-off. This creates a unique soft landing followed by a powerful push-off.

Are these shoes suitable for races?

While exceptionally comfortable for long distances, the Cloudmonster is primarily designed as a training shoe due to its maximal cushioning and slightly higher weight. Some runners may prefer a lighter, more aggressive shoe for race day, but it can certainly be used for longer races where comfort is paramount.

How often should I replace my Cloudmonster Trainers?

The lifespan of running shoes varies depending on mileage, running style, and surface. Generally, running shoes are recommended to be replaced every 300-500 miles (approximately 480-800 km) or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning and support. Regularly inspect the outsole for wear.

Can I use these trainers for other activities besides running?

Yes, while optimized for running, their superior comfort and cushioning make them suitable for walking, gym workouts, or casual wear, especially if you spend long periods on your feet.

What is the heel-to-toe drop of the Cloudmonster Trainers?

Info needed: Please consult the product specifications or On Running's official website for the exact heel-to-toe drop (offset) measurement for the Cloudmonster Trainers.

Troubleshooting

My feet feel sluggish or heavy during runs.

The Cloudmonster features maximum cushioning designed for comfort over pure speed. If you're seeking a faster, more agile feel for speed work, consider rotating with a lighter, less cushioned shoe. Ensure your lacing is not too tight, which can restrict blood flow.

I'm experiencing discomfort or rubbing.

Check your sock choice; sometimes a different thickness or material can resolve minor rubbing. Re-evaluate your lacing to ensure it's not too tight or too loose in specific areas. If discomfort persists, ensure the shoe size and width are appropriate for your foot.

The cushioning doesn't feel as 'bouncy' as expected.

The CloudTec® system requires some weight and movement to activate its full cushioning and rebound. Ensure you're running with your typical form. Also, note that cushioning feel can be subjective and may vary based on your body weight and running style.

My shoes are getting dirty quickly, and I'm unsure how to clean them.

For light dirt, use a soft brush or damp cloth. For more stubborn grime, mix a small amount of mild soap with cold water, gently scrub the affected areas, and rinse thoroughly with clean water. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning for long-distance comfort
  • Energizing and bouncy ride encourages forward momentum
  • Smooth and effortless transitions due to unique sole geometry
  • High-quality, soft upper materials enhance overall comfort
  • Suitable for daily training and recovery runs

Cons

  • Might feel less 'connected' to the ground for some runners
  • Could be perceived as bulky compared to lightweight racing flats
  • The highly cushioned feel might not appeal to all preferences

Setup

  1. Lacing: Ensure your trainers are laced securely but not overly tight. Use the top eyelets for a more locked-down fit if needed, especially for longer runs. A snug fit prevents unwanted foot movement inside the shoe.
  2. Initial Wear: Wear the shoes for a few short walks or light activities before your first run to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for road running, daily training, and recovery runs. They are compatible with various running styles, particularly benefiting neutral runners or those who appreciate a highly cushioned, stable platform. They pair well with standard running socks for optimal comfort and moisture wicking.

Care

  • Cleaning: Gently remove dirt and debris after each use with a soft brush or cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water, avoiding harsh detergents or hot water that can damage materials. Do not machine wash.
  • Drying: Allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can degrade the materials and adhesives. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
  • Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid compressing them for extended periods to maintain the integrity of the cushioning.
