On Cloudmonster - Grey - UK 11

Yes, the On Cloudmonster's maximal cushioning and comfortable design make them very suitable for walking, daily wear, and prolonged standing, in addition to running.

They are best for recreational runners, those who prioritize maximal cushioning and comfort for daily training, long runs, and recovery runs on road and urban surfaces. They are suited for runners with a neutral gait.

The upper of the On Cloudmonster is crafted with approximately 80% recycled polyester, contributing to a more sustainable product.

CloudTec refers to the hollow pod structures in the sole that compress upon impact for cushioning and then lock for a firm push-off. Helion™ super foam is the specific foam material used in these pods and midsole for incredibly soft landings and energy return. The Speedboard® is a rigid plate embedded within the midsole that acts as a lever, transforming impact energy into forward propulsion.

While the rubber sole provides grip, the Cloudmonster is primarily designed for road and urban surfaces. Its maximal cushioning might be less stable on uneven, technical trails. For aggressive trail running, dedicated trail shoes would be more appropriate.

Running shoe sizing can vary, so it's always recommended to try them on. Generally, you want about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. If unsure, refer to On's official sizing guide or consult with a running shoe specialist.

The lifespan of running shoes can vary based on individual running style, weight, and mileage. Generally, performance running shoes like the Cloudmonster last between 300 to 500 miles (approximately 480-800 kilometers) before the cushioning and support begin to degrade.

While the knit upper is breathable, ensure you're wearing appropriate moisture-wicking running socks. Also, check that your shoes aren't laced too tightly, which can restrict airflow.

Running shoe cushioning naturally compresses over time. The lifespan of running shoes typically ranges from 300-500 miles. Consider replacing them if the cushioning feels significantly degraded or you notice new aches.

Check your lacing; sometimes adjusting the tension can resolve hot spots. Ensure your socks are seamless and fit well. If discomfort persists, verify that the shoe size and width are correct for your foot shape. A break-in period might also be needed for your feet to adapt.
