Outfitter's Note: If you found your perfect fit with the original Cloudmonster, we recommend taking half a size down for the Cloudmonster 2.
The On Cloudmonster 2 is a road runner’s dream. This monstrous shoe gives your stride an unique forward-rolling that supercharges your run with energetic propulsion and an exhilarating bounce.
Perfect for everything from easy jaunts around the block to long tempo runs, the Cloudmonster 2 brings comfort and excitement to your training. A nylon-blend Speedboard® is sandwiched between On’s CloudTec® outsole and dual-density Helion™ superfoam midsole, giving you soft landings and powerful take-offs for an irresistible run.

What’s New
On is back at it again, this time with their biggest CloudTec cushioning ever. The new Cloudmonster 2 comes packed with almost 5 mm more cushioning underfoot. Designers also revamped the upper with 100% recycled polyester for a more breathable and accommodating fit.
Who It’s Best For
The On Cloudmonster 2 is best for runners and walkers looking for a neutral running shoe with maximum cushioning to soak up the miles in.
“I’d recommend the Cloudmonster 2 to runners who enjoy stability and responsiveness over an overly plush, pillow-like feel,” says Nate, one of our running shoe testers.
Why You’ll Love It
Featuring On’s biggest CloudTec® ever, you’ll love the Cloudmonster 2’s massive cushioning, mega bounce and maximum energy-return. It's a monster ride on the road with an unmatched forward-rolling motion.
Sustainability
The mesh on the upper is made from 100% recycled polyester. By using more sustainable materials and processes, On increased the overall recycled content to 24%.
