Full details
These On Running CLOUDMONSTER Void Trainers are designed for adult female runners seeking maximum cushioning and energy return for their daily road runs. The key benefit is a forward-rolling stride with soft landings and powerful take-offs, though the specialized cushioning might feel different for those accustomed to minimalist shoes. Key features include advanced CloudTec® cushioning, a snappy Speedboard® for rebound, Helion™ superfoam for impact absorption, and a rocker design to promote momentum.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the maximum cushioning and energy return make them an excellent choice for marathon training and racing, especially for runners who prioritize comfort and joint protection over maximal speed.
Can I use these trainers for trail running?
These trainers are primarily designed for road running. While they might handle very light, well-groomed gravel paths, they lack the aggressive traction and protection needed for technical or muddy trails.
How do I know if the rocker design is right for me?
The rocker design promotes a forward-rolling motion, which can feel very natural and efficient. If you experience discomfort, it might mean your natural stride doesn't align well with this type of geometry, or a break-in period is needed.
What is the main difference between Cloudmonster and other On running shoes?
The Cloudmonster features On's most substantial CloudTec® cushioning and a pronounced rocker compared to many other On models, prioritizing maximum comfort and energy return for longer runs and road surfaces.
How often should I replace my Cloudmonster trainers?
Running shoe mileage varies, but typically, trainers like the Cloudmonster should be replaced after 300-500 miles (500-800 kilometers) of use, or when you notice significant wear on the outsole or a loss of cushioning responsiveness.
Is the green color true to the product images?
Color representation can vary slightly based on screen settings and lighting. The 'Green' variant offers a distinct shade intended for visibility and style.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff initially
The shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs or walks initially to allow the cushioning and materials to adapt to your feet.
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure the laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing the laces with a pair that has better grip if the issue persists.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
The outsole provides good traction on dry roads. For wet conditions, exercise caution as with any running shoe. Ensure the outsole is free from debris.
Discomfort in the arch area
This could be due to the shoe's specific support geometry or your foot's natural arch. Try adjusting the lacing or consider using an aftermarket insole with a different arch profile.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preference for a snug yet comfortable fit. The standard lacing system allows for easy tightening or loosening across the midfoot.
Compatibility:
- Surface: Primarily designed for road running. Suitable for treadmills and light, well-maintained gravel paths. Performance may be reduced on technical trails.
- Foot Type: The adaptive cushioning generally suits a neutral gait. Runners requiring significant pronation control might need additional support.
Care:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Laces: Remove laces for thorough cleaning or replacement.
- Insoles: If removable, take out the insoles to air them out and clean them separately with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or intense sunlight. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
