User Review Summary
The Cloudmonster 2 is On’s most highly cushioned training shoe, designed for a “cloud‑like ride + rolling propulsion.” It’s ideal for medium‑ to high‑weight runners doing long slow runs and high‑volume training. The midsole uses dual‑density Helion™ superfoam combined with CloudTec® pods, delivering soft shock absorption with stable support. A TPU Speedboard™ plate is embedded in the midsole to enhance gait smoothness and rolling efficiency.
The upper has been upgraded to a multi‑layer engineered mesh with added ventilation holes and an inner‑boot structure for improved comfort and lockdown. At around 295 g, it’s not lightweight, but its cushioning and stability are excellent. The overall ride is plush, soft‑bouncy, and substantial, making it suitable for heel‑strikers or midfoot runners doing 10K to LSD training.
If you’re looking for a training shoe with maximum cushioning, stable support, and a uniquely soft ride, the Cloudmonster 2 is one of the most iconic options in the On lineup.
