Pros

  • High level of cushioning provides shock absorption and comfort
  • Speedboard technology allows immediate propulsion upon landing
  • Breathable and lightweight
  • Contributes to sustainability by using recycled materials

Cons

  • Neutral shoe, those requiring support shoes will be better suited to ON's stability range

In Testing

I've not been an avid ON runner, given its usual minimalism regarding cushioning. However, the Cloudmonster, as the name suggests, is much thicker and comfortable than the older models I've previously tried. Although it is a neutral shoe, I felt stable during all my trial runs and felt the speedboard aiding their enjoyability, leaving me energised each time.


Verdict

The Cloudmonster 2 is an innovate model in the ON range. It caters to a greater population of runners who require neutral but stable running, alongside the comfort of cushioning. It will appeal to those desiring an enjoyable and lightweight shoe, designed to provide great energy return during long runs.
