On | Men's Cloudmonster 2 Running Shoes - Black/Frost

Advice for Road Runners: The On Men's Cloudmonster 2 Running Shoes in the Black/Frost colourway now feature a dual-density midsole construction. The result? Even more cushioning and energy return than before. 

Underfoot Feel

The max-cushioned On Men's Cloudmonster 2 midsole consists of an updated dual-density Helion superfoam. A softer and more absorbent top layer of foam should improve underfoot comfort, while continuing to deliver lots of energy return. 

Like the previous model, large CloudTec Elements collapse and then rebound to help optimise protection and propulsion. Heel strikers should enjoy the high level of cushioning on offer in the rearfoot section of the midsole. 

An updated nylon-blend Speedboard, sandwiched between the two foams, is designed to improve energy return. As a result, you should expect to feel a propulsive underfoot experience. 

Upper Fit

The On Cloudmonster 2 Running Shoes also feature an updated upper. There's now a reworked engineered mesh and lining material to improve comfort. Small adjustments to the eyestay design should also offer better midfoot lockdown.

In our experience from testing the Cloudmonster 2, they feel very spacious in the toe box and should suit runners with broader foot shapes. At the same time, the supportive midfoot and secure ankle collar should also accommodate narrower feet.

Ideal Run Type

The On Men's Cloudmonster 2 Running Shoes are one of the most versatile max-cushioned models available. This is because the cushioning feels comfortable over a range of paces. With that being said, if you're looking for running shoes that perform for slow, steady, and some faster running, they should be great a option. In our opinion, they feel best on steady runs and longer distances. 

If you're looking for On Running Shoes with a softer feel, you should consider the On Cloudeclipse Running Shoes.

Sizing Advice

Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone's feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.

Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb's width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).

This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
