On Running Cloudmonster - White - UK 8

Yes, the CloudTec® soles combined with the Speedboard® plates are specifically engineered to provide exceptional cushioning and energy return, making the Cloudmonster Void Trainers highly suitable for long-distance running and extended periods of wear with sustained comfort.

While primarily designed for running and walking due to their high cushioning and propulsion, their stable platform and supportive upper can accommodate light gym workouts. For specific cross-training activities requiring significant lateral stability and ground feel, dedicated cross-training shoes might offer more specialized support.

It is recommended to measure your foot length accurately and consult On Running's specific size chart. If possible, try on the trainers at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen, ensuring there is approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe for optimal comfort and performance.

CloudTec® technology is unique due to its individual 'cloud' elements that compress upon landing to provide adaptive, soft cushioning. These elements then lock firm for a powerful and stable push-off, offering a distinct balance of plush impact absorption and responsive propulsion.

The 'quiet branding' refers to the minimalist and understated design of the logos and branding elements integrated into the shoe's aesthetic. It is a part of the shoe's design and is not removable.

The lightweight mesh upper prioritizes breathability and is not designed to be waterproof. While it offers standard protection against light splashes, these trainers are not intended for use in heavy rain or very wet conditions.

Ensure your laces are tied securely but not excessively tight. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find one that relieves pressure points. Verify that your socks are the correct size and made from moisture-wicking material. Allow for a short break-in period, typically a few runs, for the shoes to adapt to your foot shape.

The lifespan of running shoes depends on mileage and individual use, typically ranging from 300-500 miles. If you've accumulated significant use, the cushioning properties may have naturally compressed. Consider if it's time to replace your trainers. Also, ensure the soles are clean and free of embedded debris that might affect their performance.

To maintain their clean appearance, regularly wipe down the mesh upper and soles with a damp cloth after each use to prevent dirt from setting in. For more thorough cleaning, follow the care instructions provided in this guide, using mild soap and water for gentle stain removal.

A common cause of squeaking is moisture trapped inside the shoe or between layers of the sole. Ensure your shoes are completely dry before wearing them. You can try sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole to absorb moisture. If the squeak persists, check for any loose components.
