Full details
The On Cloudmonster trainers in Void Grey are designed for adult male runners seeking exceptional comfort and responsive energy return on long runs. Their key benefit is the advanced CloudTec Phase cushioning combined with Helion superfoam, offering a plush yet propulsive experience. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific fit and feel, which is optimized for neutral runners and longer distances, potentially feeling less agile for very quick, short sprints.

FAQs
Are the On Cloudmonster Void trainers suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the Cloudmonster trainers are specifically designed with enhanced cushioning and responsive foam to provide comfort and energy return suitable for marathon distances and other long-distance runs.
What type of foot strike is best for the Cloudmonster?
The Cloudmonster is designed for neutral runners and performs well with a variety of foot strikes, particularly those with a midfoot or heel strike, due to its advanced cushioning system.
How do I clean my Cloudmonster trainers?
Gently brush off dirt with a dry brush. For tougher dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap and cold water. Always air dry them naturally and avoid machine washing or high heat.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
These trainers are optimized for road running. While they may handle light gravel or packed dirt paths, they are not designed for technical trails with uneven terrain or significant obstacles.
What is the main difference between CloudTec and CloudTec Phase?
CloudTec Phase is an evolution of On's original CloudTec technology, designed to offer a smoother, more continuous cushioning experience with a focus on direct impact absorption and a fluid transition.
How durable is the Helion superfoam?
Helion superfoam is engineered for durability and responsiveness. It is designed to maintain its performance characteristics over a significant number of miles, providing consistent cushioning and energy return.
Do these trainers offer arch support?
The Cloudmonster provides inherent stability through its thick midsole and Speedboard technology, designed to cradle the foot. However, they are classified as neutral shoes and do not offer specific motion control or structured arch support for overpronation.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or constrictive.
Ensure you have the correct size. If the shoe is new, wear it for short periods to allow the materials to break in. You can also try adjusting the lacing pattern for a slightly looser fit around the midfoot, though the built-in tongue is designed for a snug, locked-in feel.
Reduced cushioning effect over time.
While Helion superfoam and CloudTec are durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with very high mileage. Ensure the shoes are not excessively worn. Consider cleaning them as debris can sometimes affect perceived cushioning.
Lack of grip on wet surfaces.
The rubber outsole pads provide good traction, but performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces can vary. Ensure the outsole is clean, as mud or debris can reduce grip. For the best performance, avoid running on hazardous wet surfaces.
Foot discomfort or blisters during runs.
Verify the shoe size and width. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks. The snug fit from the built-in tongue and sockliner might require an adjustment period; try shorter runs initially.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Cloudmonster trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for a comfortable fit. The integrated tongue and sockliner provide a snug feel, so no specific lacing adjustments are typically needed for initial wear.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed primarily for road running and offer excellent performance on paved surfaces, asphalt, and light gravel paths. They are suitable for neutral runners and are best suited for moderate to long-distance training and racing.
Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your Cloudmonsters:
- Cleaning: After runs, gently brush off loose dirt with a dry brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Laundering: It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as it can compromise the structural integrity and cushioning elements.
