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%.

Comfy for long walks
I like On shoes because they are comfortable for my feet, as they are a bit lumpy and bony next to the small toe on each. So, I wanted a pair for longer distances walks. I generally wear them for paved trails. The extra cushioning is nice for walking miles and miles.
