![]() “Monster level cushioning for easy runs and long runs”, that’s the Cloudmonster’s description on the product page of On’s website. ![]() It’s a maximalist trainer with a rockered and protective ride for long runs. The Cloudmonster is a brand new running shoe from On. Its upper was supremely comfortable though, one of the most comfortable of all my running shoes. ![]() I have the Cloudflow 3 and I mostly use it for casual wear because it feels so flat and firm on runs. On shoes are expensive and their performance has been somewhat lacking compared to the competition in terms of cushioning and energy return. I would never have recommended an On running shoe to you before the Cloudmonster. So far, it’s been a gimmicky technology which offers no advantage over regular slabs of midsole foams, similar to Nike’s Air Max and ASICS’ gel. The CloudTec technology is something On has tried to make work, trainer after trainer but they’ve never quite gotten the recipe right. ![]() In fact, I’ve always found On trainers to be firm compared to other brands. To me, On Running shoes have never felt like running on clouds. If a shoe brand gives all their running shoes names with the word “Cloud” in it, they better make sure that the rides of their shoes actually feel cloud-like, otherwise it’s false advertising. ![]()
