Cloudmonster 3

The Cloudmonster series from On is created for runners seeking maximum comfort combined with a distinct and energetic running sensation. The series is characterized by a voluminous midsole and large CloudTec® elements, providing a soft and responsive experience from the first step. At RunningXpert, you can find On Cloudmonster in all current models and sizes for men and women.

CLOUDTEC® IN LARGE FORMAT – WHAT MAKES CLOUDMONSTER SPECIAL

Cloudmonster's uniqueness lies in the combination of high cushioning and noticeable energy return, two features rarely found together in maximalist running shoes. The large, hollow Cloud elements compress individually upon landing, creating a soft reception of the ground, while the stored energy is released at take-off. This gives a characteristic "bounce" feeling in every step.

The latest generations of Cloudmonster are further refined with a focus on more efficient rolling and a more cohesive transition from heel to forefoot. The result is a shoe that feels stable and controlled even with the high stack height, offering even more significant energy return than previous models.

CLOUDTEC® AND SPEEDBOARD IN SYNERGY

The core of Cloudmonster is the synergy between the large CloudTec® elements and the integrated Speedboard plate. CloudTec® absorbs shock upon landing, Speedboard activates during the take-off phase, converting stored energy into propulsion. The two technologies are designed to enhance each other, resulting in a shoe that feels lively and responsive, even while offering maximum cushioning.

For runners expecting a high midsole to automatically feel heavy and slow, Cloudmonster is a surprise. The shoe feels responsive on easy runs and provides a clear push-off when the pace increases. This makes it a stronger all-around choice than most shoes in the category.

DESIGNED FOR COMFORT AND FIT

A running shoe  with maximum cushioning must also fit comfortably and securely around the foot. Cloudmonster is developed with an enveloping and ventilating upper that provides support without feeling heavy or compact. The materials are light and flexible, and the heel counter keeps the foot securely in place throughout the stride.

The spacious forefoot allows for natural toe splay, which is advantageous on long runs where the feet work and expand. The combination of comfortable fit and the soft yet stable platform makes Cloudmonster suitable for runners of all levels, from beginners to experienced distance runners.

FOR VOLUME TRAINING, RECOVERY, AND LONG DISTANCES

Cloudmonster is particularly popular among runners who prioritize comfort over many kilometers in the training week. The high cushioning makes it suitable for easy volume runs, focusing on accumulating mileage without unnecessarily straining the body. Energy return from the Speedboard plate still provides efficient stride execution, so the shoe doesn't feel heavy.

For marathon and half-marathon training, Cloudmonster is a strong choice as a daily training shoe . It protects the legs on long runs and helps maintain a stable pace over many kilometers. Many runners choose Cloudmonster as a supplement in a shoe rotation , where it handles most of the daily kilometers, while a lighter shoe is used for intervals and tempo runs.
