FAQs

What type of running are the Cloudmonster trainers best suited for?

These trainers are optimally designed for everyday running, long-distance training, and recovery runs, where maximal cushioning and comfort are key. They provide an excellent blend of softness and energy return for road surfaces.

Are the On Running Cloudmonster trainers true to size?

Yes, the Cloudmonster trainers are designed to fit true to size. We recommend selecting your usual running shoe size for the best fit.

What is CloudTec® and Helion™ super foam?

CloudTec® refers to On Running's signature cushioning technology, featuring hollow 'Cloud' elements that compress upon impact for soft landings and then rebound for explosive take-offs. Helion™ super foam is a specialized, lightweight, and durable foam used in the midsole to provide super-soft landings and a playful underfoot sensation, ensuring consistent performance in varying temperatures.

How often should I replace my Cloudmonster trainers?

The typical lifespan for running shoes like the Cloudmonster is generally between 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style, weight, and terrain. Pay attention to signs of wear, such as decreased cushioning or persistent discomfort, as indicators for replacement.

Can I use these shoes for racing or speed work?

While the Cloudmonster offers dynamic energy return, its primary design focus is on maximal cushioning and comfort for daily training, long runs, and recovery. For serious racing or specific speed work, you might find a lighter, more minimalist shoe with less cushioning to be more efficient, depending on personal preference and race distance.

What is the heel-to-toe drop of these trainers?

The On Running Cloudmonster trainers feature a 6mm heel-to-toe drop, which is considered a moderate drop that accommodates a wide range of running gaits while supporting natural foot mechanics.

Are these trainers environmentally friendly?

Yes, a significant portion of the Cloudmonster trainers is made from recycled materials. The upper contains 80% recycled polyester, and 30% of the entire shoe's components are derived from recycled sources, highlighting a commitment to sustainability.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or cause rubbing during runs.

First, check your lacing technique; ensure it's not too tight across the instep. You can try alternative lacing patterns to relieve pressure points. Also, ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. Remember that new shoes often require a short break-in period; gradually increase your run distance.

Cushioning feels less responsive over time.

Running shoe cushioning naturally degrades with use. Most running shoes have a lifespan of 300-500 miles. Track your mileage and consider if it's time to replace your trainers. Environmental factors and storage can also affect material integrity.

Shoe feels unusually bulky or heavy.

The Cloudmonster features On Running's largest Clouds for maximal cushioning, which gives it a distinct, bold sole shape. While designed to be lightweight for its category, the sensation might be different if you are used to minimalist shoes. Ensure these are being used for their intended purpose (long runs, recovery, daily training) rather than speed work, where a lighter, less cushioned shoe might be preferred.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional maximal cushioning for comfort on long runs and recovery.
  • Dynamic energy return and forward propulsion for an effortless stride.
  • Remarkably lightweight despite generous cushioning.
  • Durable construction suitable for high mileage.
  • Significant use of recycled materials, promoting sustainability.
  • Versatile for various run types including daily, long, and recovery runs.

Cons

  • The 'maximalist' design and 'weirdest creation yet' aesthetic may not appeal to all users.
  • Extensive cushioning might reduce ground feel, which some runners prefer for agility or speed work.
  • White color may be prone to showing dirt quickly, especially on varied terrains.
  • Primarily designed for road running, less suited for technical trails.

Setup

The On Running Cloudmonster Trainers feature a standard lacing system that allows for a bespoke and secure fit. They are designed to fit true to size, so selecting your usual running shoe size is recommended. Upon first wear, ensure the laces are snug but not overly tight to allow for natural foot expansion during your run. It's advisable to wear them for a short walk or light jog before a full run to confirm comfort and fit.

Compatibility

These trainers are road-ready, making them ideal for urban environments, paved paths, and treadmills. Their design prioritizes maximal cushioning and energy return, making them compatible with various running styles focused on comfort and efficiency over distance. They are particularly well-suited for everyday running, long-distance training, and recovery runs where comfort is paramount. While robust, they are not specifically designed for technical trail running.

Care

To maintain the longevity and performance of your Cloudmonster trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush after each run. For tougher grime, use a mild soap mixed with cool water and a soft cloth or sponge to spot-clean the upper and sole. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators, which can damage materials. Remove insoles if they are wet to aid drying.
  3. Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures for extended periods.
  4. Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or machine dry your trainers, as this can degrade materials, glues, and cushioning technology, voiding any warranty.
