In this segment of the video, the reviewer provides a multi-tester review of the new On Cloud Monster running shoe. The shoe is described as a maximalist shoe with massive cushioning and big rebound, suitable for everyday running and long runs. Key details include the weight of the shoe (230 grams for women, 275 grams for men), the 6mm drop, and the price of 150 pounds in the UK. The midsole features On’s biggest cloudtech elements made from helium superfoam for soft landings and maximum rebound. The upper has dense mesh with overlays for support, heel cushioning, and a snug fit with eyelet lacing. Fit-wise, the shoe is comfortable, but it’s recommended to go up half a size due to the shoe running a little short.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses their experience running in the shoes, emphasizing that they felt lightweight and responsive compared to other brands like Nike and Hoka. They mention that the shoes are comfortable, softer than other on shoes, and provide ample cushioning for long runs.

In this segment of the video, the reviewer discusses the On Cloud Monster running shoes. They describe the shoe as offering solid rocker geometry and disappearing upper comfort, making it suitable for easy runs and long, slow miles. The shoe provides a softer ride compared to other On shoes, offering a good level of softness and protection without being overly squishy. The reviewer finds the shoe best suited for easy, base runs rather than faster-paced workouts. While it offers some propulsion and efficient ride for base miles, it lacks the springiness for speed work. The Cloud Monster is heavily cushioned but doesn’t feel as soft and plush as other highly cushioned shoes like the New Balance More v3.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses their experience running in a shoe with a lot of cushioning but finds it feels firmer than expected, lacking the softness typically desired in heavily cushioned shoes. Despite the firmness, the shoe is comfortable for base mile runs and deadens impact effectively. The speaker notes that the shoe may offer more versatility for slightly faster paces compared to other highly cushioned shoes. They mention the shoe’s comfortable upper but highlight it doesn’t excel in cushioning and comfort. Overall, the shoe performs adequately for base paces but lacks exceptional cushioning or comfort for faster paces.

In this segment of the video, the reviewer discusses the performance of the shoes during both longer and shorter runs. The cushioning technology in the shoes is softer than other on-shoes, but still offers firmness.

They praise the bounciness and enjoy running at quicker paces in the shoes. However, the reviewer hesitates to use these shoes for longer runs due to knee issues. Overall, they appreciate the comfort for recovery runs but do not feel it would replace their current shoe for those purposes. The reviewer, who typically finds on-shoes too flat, surprisingly loves the on Cloud Monster shoes and continues to run in them regularly. They conclude that while the shoes are good, they may not be amazing, especially considering the price point.

They find it to be a solid and comfortable shoe suitable for base pace miles but not outstanding in any specific area when compared to other cushioned options like the New Balance More V3 or Asics Nova Blast. The On Cloud Monster offers cushioning but lacks noticeable bounce or softness. It is deemed suitable for high mileage efforts or longer runs, especially for those seeking a firmer feel. The reviewer sees it as a steady and easy option for longer, slow runs, but not particularly remarkable compared to other market offerings. Overall, the On Cloud Monster is considered a solid, protective, and stable max-cushioned shoe but may not be the most versatile or exciting choice available.
