HOW WE TESTED THE oN cLOUDMONSTER HYPER RUNNING SHOES
The On Cloudmonster Hyper running shoes have actually remained in my shoe rotation considering that April, indicating I’ve checked them all over from the slippery rain-soaked streets of Singapore, to the sand-blasted beach boardwalks of Suffolk and most just recently– the deck of my treadmill.

I ‘d never ever in fact tried out running shoes till the Cloudmonster Hypers arrived on my desk, so I had no concept what size I ‘d require. I took a threat and chose my routine street shoe size (UK 5) and they fit completely. I want more running shoe brand names would do this and simply align their sizing with routine street shoe sizing. Since the psychological gymnastics of needing to keep in mind which brand names I need to measure or down in whenever I require brand-new runners is tiring and on a regular basis winds up with several rounds of returns. Thanks On for making life basic!
The fit and feel of these shoes is ultra-comfortable. The toe box is spacious enough not to squash my freakishly long 2nd toes, however not so broad that I seem like I’m running in clown shoes. The standard lacing system provides a great heel lock down, which integrated with the light-weight and breathable upper feels safe and secure without putting pressure on the top of the foot. The inner is likewise actually good underfoot– including a Goldilocks quantity of squish which is comfortable without seeming like jelly shoes.
I was delighted to see that On had actually utilized laces with these little silicone dots below, probably to avoid them from untying. I believed this would suggest I might get away with just connecting a single knot however alas– the shoes rather rapidly came reversed a kilometre or two into my very first run.
