FAQs

What type of running is the On Cloudmonster best suited for?

The Cloudmonster is best suited for everyday runs, daily mileage, and urban explorations. Its maximum cushioning and propulsive rocker shape make it ideal for comfortable, energetic runs on roads and pavements.

What does CloudTec cushioning do?

CloudTec cushioning refers to the unique 'cloud' elements on the sole of On shoes. In the Cloudmonster, these are oversized to provide maximum cushioning, absorbing impact upon landing and then firming up to provide a powerful push-off, creating a 'running on clouds' sensation.

How does the Speedboard technology work?

The Speedboard is a plate embedded within the sole, working in conjunction with the CloudTec elements. It acts like a spring, collecting and converting the energy from your landing into forward motion, enhancing the shoe's propulsion and efficiency.

Are these shoes environmentally friendly?

Yes, the On Cloudmonster features an upper made with 80% recycled polyester, demonstrating a commitment to more sustainable manufacturing practices.

Can I use these shoes for walking?

Absolutely! While designed for running, the Cloudmonster's exceptional cushioning and comfort make it an excellent choice for all-day wear, urban walking, and general casual use.

What is the benefit of the 'radical rocker shape'?

The radical rocker shape is designed to create a smooth, effortless rolling motion from heel to toe. This helps to propel you forward with each stride, enhancing running efficiency and making your runs feel less taxing.

Troubleshooting

My feet feel uncomfortable or rubbed after a run.

Ensure your laces are not too tight or too loose. Check your sock choice; a good quality running sock can prevent friction. Also, ensure you've allowed adequate time to adapt to the shoe's rocker shape.

The shoes feel less 'springy' or responsive over time.

Running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles, after which cushioning properties diminish. Consider if it's time for a new pair. Ensure you're not washing them in a machine or exposing them to excessive heat, which can degrade the foam.

I'm experiencing slipping on wet surfaces.

While the rubber sole provides good grip, no shoe is entirely slip-proof on all wet surfaces. Always exercise caution. Regularly check the sole for embedded debris or excessive wear which can reduce traction. Ensure the CloudTec elements are clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Setting up your On Cloudmonster trainers is straightforward:

  1. Unpack: Remove the trainers from their packaging.
  2. Lace Up: Insert your feet, ensuring your socks are comfortable. Use the lacing system to secure a snug, yet comfortable fit. Avoid overtightening, which can restrict blood flow and cause discomfort during your run.
  3. First Walk: Take a short walk to get a feel for the shoe's unique cushioning and radical rocker shape before your first run.

Compatibility

  • Intended User: Designed for adult men, specifically for everyday running and urban explorations. While comfortable for general wear, they are optimized for performance in these contexts.
  • Foot Type: Suitable for a wide range of foot types, offering a generous and comfortable fit. Info needed: Specific recommendations for arch types or width.
  • Terrain: Best suited for roads, sidewalks, and well-maintained paths. Not specifically designed for technical trail running.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Cloudmonster trainers:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For the airy knit upper, gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a mild soap mixed with water and gently dab the affected area with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Cleaning the Sole: Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth to remove mud or debris. A small brush can help clean crevices in the CloudTec elements.
  • Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers, as high heat can damage materials like the polyester upper and Helion foam.
  • Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, when not in use.
  • Avoid Washing Machine: Do not machine wash your trainers, as this can degrade the materials and structural integrity.
