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.
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. That's great for high mileage and bigger runners, less so for racing snappiness.
- Smooth rockered ride for long miles
- Protective without feeling mushy
- Durable outsole
- Heavy for its class
- Not versatile for faster paces
