Now that it has been out a bit, any reviews here? In particular stability? But welcome any insight. I get the feeling not many here wear the ONs. Compared to Nimbus or Hoka Bondi...?
Cloudmonster review?

Save your money and self respect. On shoes are ordinary materials, poor design, ugly, and over priced.
Runners who pay for them, are the laughing stock of the running community. More money than sense.
Just wait for a bit, and they'll give you a pair for free. Nobody needs to pay, they sponsor everyone.

Although most of what you said is subjective, people seem to disagree with "ugly" for sure since they are literally fashionable even for non runners. Over priced... a little, but now everything is. Poor design...we dont know that at all. Some of their shoes are pure fashion, not for runners. But they put a lot of thought into the running shoes and my runner for one loves them. I have the Monsters, most comfortable shoe ever by a long shot. BUT, I dont put them through the test of sig running mileage.
Anyone train in them?

ON is for ladies to wear at the mall, to flex their wealth.

I know some On athletes. I like them and some are very impressive athletes at the track club in Boulder. However, I’m not touching those shoes.

Recently On shoes have come a long way. I run in both the cloudmonster and cloud surfer and love both of them. The monsters are a little on the firm side which I like but I know others feel different. If I had to choose 1 I’d go with the clousdsurfer though!

Don’t trust shoes where rocks can easily get stuck in while running.

Cloudmonster is a good shoe. A bit firm compared to a lot of the big foam shoes like invincible, gel nimbus, or fresh foam more. It is very responsive and feels genuinely unique. Pretty sure the only On shoes that are actually for running are the new Cloudsurfer and the Cloudmonster but I expect more good shoes from them in the future. I look forward to more shoes without clouds. I would bet within the next year they release a shoe that is a cross between the monster and surfer, a high stack soft shoe.

I liked them at first, but I've now done 200kms in them, and they just feel like sh*t.
Too firm, and I get nothing back.
The complete lack of padding in the tongue allows the laces to cut into the tops of my feet also.
I feel like they could do with a couple more mms in the heal as well, given that they're a fairly heavy shoe - for recovery and easy days.

So that's interesting. I was worried they were too squishy. So maybe bondi or nimbus better trainer for cushion?
