The Swiss brand On Running continues to innovate in the world of running with the Cloudmonster 3, a shoe designed to offer maximum cushioning and an ultra-dynamic stride.

Already highly appreciated by runners for its comfort and unique rebound, the Cloudmonster evolves with this new version to offer more stability, better energy return, and even more enjoyment with every kilometer.

In this article, we explain why the Cloudmonster 3 could become your next favorite training shoe.

A shoe designed for maximum cushioning

The Cloudmonster 3 falls into the category of so-called maximalist shoes, meaning they have a thick sole that heavily absorbs impacts.

On Running uses its signature CloudTec® technology, consisting of large hollow elements that compress on impact and then expand to create a rebound effect.

Result:

impressive shock absorption
reduced muscle fatigue
a feeling of soft and fluid running

It is an ideal shoe for long runs and daily training.

A dynamic stride thanks to the Speedboard®

Despite its very significant cushioning, the Cloudmonster 3 remains a dynamic and responsive shoe.

This is made possible by the Speedboard® plate, integrated into the midsole. This plate supports the natural movement of the foot and promotes a quick transition from heel to forefoot.

It thus allows for:

a smoother stride
natural propulsion
improved running efficiency

The result is a very particular sensation: plush cushioning combined with energetic rebound.

An ideal shoe for long distances

The Cloudmonster 3 is particularly suitable for long-distance training.

Thanks to its significant cushioning and rocker geometry (curved sole), it facilitates forward progression and reduces fatigue on long runs.

It is perfectly suited for:

daily jogs
long runs
recovery
marathon preparation

Triathletes also appreciate it for running sessions after cycling, where comfort and cushioning are essential.

Improved comfort in this new version

For the Cloudmonster 3, On Running has also reworked the upper to improve comfort.

The technical mesh is now:

more breathable
more flexible
more comfortable around the foot

The support is precise without being too rigid, which allows the shoe to suit a wide variety of runners.

For what type of runner?

The On Cloudmonster 3 is a very versatile shoe that will suit many profiles:

✔ beginner runners looking for comfort
✔ regular runners for daily training
✔ marathon runners for long runs
✔ triathletes for running sessions

It is particularly appreciated by runners who like highly cushioned shoes with a bouncy feel.
