On Cloudmonster Hyper - After 100 Miles

On shoes have a tendency to start off strong for me but the love affair fade fast. I just lose interest. But after a summer of running, did the peba forefoot and no speedboard of these shoes help buck this trend? Let’s talk about the Cloudmonster Hyper, after 100 miles.

Just rounded 100k on these. They’ve really grown on me as a heavy runner they are currently my goto shoe for easy and longer runs. For any speed work I’ll reach for something else.

[LeslieSong-ks]

I found myself tend to go a bit faster than planned when wearing Superblast2. After watching your initial review, I decided to take Hyper hoping to utilize the "mushy" forefoot. And I simply love them for my easy runs! Hyper and SB2 are my perfect duals for almost everything. Thank you for the great review!

Fantastic training shoes!!! The most versatile of my On Cloudmonsters. And the insane They have a life of their own hahaha I double tie but they still come off!!! Switch to easy laces immediately and spare yourself the frustration!

[maxPower]

I tie the laces regular and tuck them under the cross lacing running up the tongue. Works like a charm

[dflunko]

Also experienced the issue with laces untying. Love the shoe for mid-tempo runs but got gifted them so that helps. Kofuzi is on point with his criticisms here

4:18 185lbs and just over 6’ and I have returned two pairs of ons I really liked bc of squeak issues!

[yapyucojosephat]

i was decided to get my hypers tomorrow then this video comes out!!!!

I'm liking my ON Cloud Monster Hyper so far, but I prefer the SuperBlast 2.
The upper is easy to clean, I love that material, and the grip is amazing for raining days. The bounce is good and very stable for long runs but it is below the Invincible 3 or SuperBlast 2.
My only dislike with the Hyper is the squeaky sound that the middlesole sometimes makes, and do all the time when it is wet. This kind of noise is worst in On shoes with the newer phase middlesole by the way.

They're an easy day shoe, that isn't particuarly easy on your foot or your running. Feels off to run steady or fast in it, because you get just about no response off of the foam or cloudtech. Thee upper and heel are really nice. The ride is almost blocky, but a bit bottoming out sorta soft. They're great to walk in, love the look of the black and pink ones, but I don't think i'll ever buy another pair of ONs. I will wear these for easy/easy-steady efforts but that's it. Can't wait to log 400 miles in them so I can buy some proper running shoes

I went to get the limited version because they just looked so cool. Every step I took with that shoe I felt the race foam in the forefoot would just stick to the ground without any energy return. I decided not to get them. But I regret it. They were just the coolest looking sneakers for walking around and showing off.

I’m 145lbs and I have a distinctive annoying squeak in my Eclipse shoes. Other than that, they’ve been one of my favorite walking shoes.

[jaiezee]

Really like your honesty with price comparisons, and it is okay to buy a previous version at a lower cost if it is still available.

[DHarbajan]

I just don’t think I’ll get On with these shoes

[Chateauduwab]

I totally agree...ON cloudeclipse is a fantastic shoe...I had the novablast 4 just before this one, but the outsole so huge made me feel like having bricks on my feet. I hated the cloud monster but the cloudeclipse is the perfection for long runs and also pick up the pace...the only thing that bothers me is the squeaky sound but at least people hear me coming... for my intervals or tempo ...which one would you recommend me ? mach 6 Hoka? on cloud flow 4 or else? thank you

[mmmzzz]

I like on shoes but almost all of them squeak after not even few months, but im little bit heavier 210ish

[braiansong]

I am not sure to buy the on cloud 5 waterproof or this cloudmonsters hyper. Which one do you recommend me? I want a shoe comfty, daily, use, gym, athlete run, I am a D1 athelte, but I want to be able to use it for everything, to work, to go to classes, etcetera.

[BAMK]

How would you compare these with the Mizuno Neo Vista? To me that's become kind of the benchmark for the max-stack super trainer.

I did order the Hyper as well, but haven't received them yet

[JohnWesonga]

You know shyte is about to get real when Ko goes bare chested 😆💪

[Tech-Kino]

I got mines and actually like them but for they are a bit on the heavy side for me and the price is far to high for what it is. But at the same time I do enjoy the hell out the shoe they are so dam comfortable and well balanced I do love my slow runs in them.

[laalaastl]

I'm gonna sound like a broken record but... just Superblast and forget it. You could actually _save_ $20 going that route!
