On Cloudmonster 2

On's biggest CloudTec trainer, with oversized Helion-foam pods and a pronounced rocker for easy and long miles. It rides softer and smoother than the original but stays on the heavy side for a daily shoe. Best for runners who want a protective cruiser rather than anything fast.

Who it's for

Reach for the On Cloudmonster 2 for everyday training miles and long runs. It's a neutral shoe, best for runners with an efficient stride who don't need pronation support. The tall, soft stack favors comfort over ground feel — great for high mileage and bigger runners, less so for racing snappiness.
