In this part of the video, the host introduces a comparison between two running shoes: the On Cloud Stratus 3 and the On Cloud Monster. The On Cloud Monster is marketed for energizing any run, from a 5K to a 20 km training run, while the On Cloud Stratus 3 provides no-compromise cushioning for long-distance comfort. Key comparisons include stack height, weight, price, and build. Both shoes feature substantial cushioning, but the Cloud Stratus has a double stack of helion foam clouds compared to the Cloud Monster’s single stack. The Cloud Stratus is heavier and has more plush padding, including an external heel clip for added support. The Cloud Stratus also has better outsole rubber coverage and omits the stone-catching channel found in the Cloud Monster. The host notes that the Cloud Monster fits shorter and recommends potentially sizing up. The Cloud Stratus provides a roomier toe box and overall plushness.

They note that while the Cloud Monster provides more room and a secure lock-in feel with tighter laces, the Cloud Stratus requires more attention to lacing for a midfoot hold and is plushier. Both shoes offer good toe box space and similar stability, stack height, and heel-toe drop. The reviewer prefers true-to-size fitting for both. For running tests, the Cloud Monster is favored for its responsive bounce and comfort during easy and long runs, while the Cloud Stratus offers a softer, plusher ride, suitable for both running and walking.

In this part of the video, the reviewer compares two running shoes, the Monster and the Stratus, during various tests both on a treadmill and on the road. They mention that while walking, the Monster feels less comfortable and rolls more forward, making it more suited for running. Both shoes were tested side by side, and the differences in feel were minimal initially, though the Stratus felt plusher due to a thicker insole rather than extra cushioning. The Monster’s lighter weight and aggressive rocker made it feel better for tempo runs, whereas the Stratus felt heavier and less encouraging to pick up the pace. The reviewer has run over 100 miles in the Monster and around 20 miles in the Stratus. They describe the Monster as a good daily trainer for easier runs, while the Stratus lacks excitement and feels heavier and clumpier. Additionally, running with one shoe on each foot revealed that the Stratus has slightly more room in the toebox compared to the more compact Monster.
