FAQs

What type of runner is the On Running Cloudmonster best suited for?

The Cloudmonster is ideal for recreational runners, daily trainers, and those looking for maximal cushioning and high energy return for long distances and everyday runs on paved surfaces.

How does the CloudTec® cushioning system work?

CloudTec® technology uses hollow cloud-shaped elements in the sole that compress upon impact, absorbing both vertical and horizontal forces, then lock firm to provide a stable platform for push-off. In the Cloudmonster, these are the largest Clouds ever for maximum softness.

What is the purpose of the Speedboard®?

The Speedboard® is a liquid-injected plate embedded in the midsole that works with the CloudTec® elements to transform the energy generated from your footstrike into forward propulsion, creating an energetic and responsive ride.

Is the Cloudmonster environmentally friendly?

Yes, the upper of the Cloudmonster is made with approximately 80% recycled polyester, reflecting On Running's commitment to sustainability.

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

The On Running Cloudmonster features a 6mm heel-to-toe drop, which encourages a natural forward rolling motion for an efficient stride.

How often should I replace my On Running Cloudmonster shoes?

The general recommendation for replacing running shoes, including the Cloudmonster, is every 300-500 miles, or approximately every 4-6 months, depending on your running style and intensity. Listen to your body and replace them if the cushioning feels degraded.

Can I use the Cloudmonster for trail running?

The Cloudmonster is specifically designed for road running and urban environments. While it offers good traction on paved surfaces, its outsole and maximal cushioning are not optimized for the varied, uneven terrain typically found on trails, and may lead to instability.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable around the foot.

Check your lacing technique; ensure it's not too tight across the top of your foot. Consider trying different lacing patterns that alleviate pressure points. Ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks.

Losing the 'bouncy' feel or responsiveness over time.

Running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles, after which cushioning can degrade. If you've accumulated significant mileage, it might be time to consider replacing them. Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.

Experiencing instability, especially on turns or uneven surfaces.

While designed for roads, the Cloudmonster's maximalist sole can feel different. Allow for an adjustment period. Focus on your running form and ensure you are landing stably. These shoes are best suited for paved, even surfaces.

Upper material showing signs of wear too quickly.

Inspect for specific points of abrasion. Ensure the shoe size is correct, as ill-fitting shoes can cause premature wear. Clean the upper regularly to prevent dirt buildup from causing friction or weakening the fabric.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional, maximal cushioning for ultra-soft landings.
  • High energy return and forward propulsion due to Speedboard technology.
  • Remarkably lightweight for a maximally cushioned shoe.
  • Comfortable and breathable upper made with recycled materials.
  • Designed for long-distance comfort and high mileage.
  • True-to-size fit simplifies sizing decisions.

Cons

  • The pronounced sole design might not appeal to all aesthetic preferences.
  • Its maximalist nature may offer less ground feel compared to minimalist shoes.
  • Might be considered overkill for very short, high-speed intervals.
  • Info needed: Specific long-term durability metrics for the outsole or upper.

The On Running Cloudmonster features a standard lacing system, allowing for a bespoke and secure fit. The shoes are designed to fit true to size, making initial sizing straightforward. They are optimally suited for road running and urban environments, offering reliable performance on varied paved surfaces. To care for your Cloudmonster shoes, it is generally recommended to clean them gently with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage materials and adhesives. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat. Regular inspection for wear and tear, especially on the outsole and upper, will help maintain their performance and longevity.
