The On Cloudmonsters entered my life at a far too convenient time, to say the least. I came home with a pair of my own monsters earlier this year, after attending the launch of On’s flagship store in London. Having just signed up for a half marathon event and a rigorous 12-week training plan, it was clear from my tired display of existing running trainers peering back at me that I was in need of a dependable pair of distance shoes. So, I decided to put the Cloudmonsters to the test.
I had clocked a few trendy runners glide past me in my local park, effortlessly sporting the Cloudmonsters (from $158 @ Amazon). I’ve also seen these kicks pop up all over my TikTok feed and I’d read a few reviews, including our fitness editor’s On Cloumonster review.
