On Cloud Monster Shoes Built for Max Cushion Miles
On Cloudmonster
Every brand has one shoe that goes big. For On, it is the Cloudmonster. This is the maximalist of the range, the one with the tallest stack, the deepest cushioning and the boldest bounce. If you have ever wanted the softest, most protective ride On makes for daily miles, this is it. The full Cloudmonster lineup sits up to 32% off right now, down from £200 to £136.
The Big Idea: Maximum CloudTec
The name is not marketing fluff. The Cloudmonster stacks the biggest CloudTec pods On has ever built, which is where all that plush, protective feel comes from. Those oversized pods squish deep on impact to swallow the shock of each landing, then snap back to spring you into the next stride. Under them sits On's Helion superfoam, which keeps the ride energetic instead of mushy, so you get softness without that sinking, dead feeling some max-cushion shoes have. It is a lot of shoe, and that is exactly the point.
How It Feels to Run In
Big cushioning can feel clumsy in the wrong hands. On solved that with a pronounced rocker sole that rolls your foot smoothly from heel to toe, keeping your turnover quick even when your legs are tired. A wider base lands each stride balanced and stable, so you are not fighting the height. The result is a ride that feels soft and bouncy on easy days yet still rolls fast enough for daily training. Runners describe it as protective and fun, the kind of shoe that makes racking up miles feel easier.
Cloudmonster or Cloudmonster 2?
Both share the same tall, plush stack and that signature bounce. The original Cloudmonster is the icon that started it, and it remains a brilliant daily cushion trainer. The Cloudmonster 2 refines the formula with a tuned, more secure fit and a slightly smoother rocker for an even easier heel-to-toe roll. If you love a locked-in feel, lean toward the 2. If you want the classic that made the line famous, the original still delivers.
The Colourways
Seven looks, one monster ride. Asphalt Lima and White Flame bring bright, bold energy, Black Frost and Frost Rock keep it cool and understated, Cream Horizon adds a warm, clean tone, and the Void Marfil Lobo and Void Plata Lente pair sharp, dark styling with sleek silver hits. Each one carries the same max-cushion build, so you pick purely on the look you want from gym to street.
Who It Is For
Reach for the Cloudmonster if you want soft, protective cushioning for daily training, easy recovery runs and long weekend distance. It suits runners who value comfort over featherweight racing feel, and anyone who spends long hours on their feet and wants that plush landing all day. For faster tempo sessions, the wider On Cloud running shoes range has lighter options, and the On Cloudultra collection steps up for trail and ultra distance. Prefer a women's fit? The women's collection carries the same cushioning cut on a women's-specific last.

On Cloudmonster FAQs
Is the On Cloudmonster good for daily running?
Yes. It is On's go-to max-cushion daily trainer, built for easy miles, recovery runs and long distance where soft, protective landings matter most.
What is the difference between the Cloudmonster and Cloudmonster 2?
Both share the same tall, cushioned stack and bounce. The Cloudmonster 2 adds a more secure, tuned fit and a smoother rocker, while the original remains a proven daily cushion trainer.
Is the Cloudmonster good for walking and standing all day?
It is a favourite for exactly that. The deep cushioning takes pressure off your joints, so it suits long days on your feet as well as running.
Does the On Cloudmonster run true to size?
It generally runs true to UK sizing. If you are between sizes, many runners go half a size down for a snugger fit, since it is a roomy shoe.
Is the Cloudmonster good for heavier runners?
Yes. The high stack and wide, stable base give plenty of protection and support, which many heavier runners find comfortable over long miles.
