Expert Review Sources

  • Running Lab : 84.3 / 100 — « In On's daily trainer lineup, the Cloudmonster 3 strikes a convincing balance between impact protection and lively turnover (301 g, a 6.4 mm drop). Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for daily trainer training. »
  • RunRepeat : 82.6 / 100 — « The Cloudmonster 3 holds onto what defines the series: a high stack, firm ride, CloudTec midsole, and a premium-feeling upper. However, we also found that it is heavy, firm, expensive, and lacking bounce, which makes it a tough sell from a performance standpoint. The focus here is clearly on design and brand identity over speed or value, but we have no doubt it will be another bestseller. »
  • OutdoorGearLab : 81.4 / 100 — « Calibrated with a 6.4 mm drop and weighing 301 g, the On Cloudmonster 3 scores strongly in our side-by-side field comparisons, blending reliable traction with protective cushioning (301 g). Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for daily trainer training. »
  • The Running Collective : 79.3 / 100 — « Across our daily trainer testing on road, the On Cloudmonster 3 delivers a smooth, dependable ride powered by its CloudTec + Helion midsole. A smart choice for runners looking for a 6.4 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
