  • The Cloud Monster was revolutionary for ‪@On-Running‬ and now the long-awaited Monster 2 has landed, it's time to talk about it and answer a few questions:
    Is this an upgrade?
    How does it compete with the Cloud Surfer 7 or Cloud Eclipse?
    Well, check out the review and let me know your thoughts in the comments.

    My favourite new shoetuber! Really also enjoy your training videos, race vlogs and you hanging out with your kids in the forest. Keep it up! 2024 is your year.
    I just clicked over 200km in the OG Cloudmonster. Initially one of the best and most interesting / poppy rides, but now the foam is pretty much done. Don’t regret the purchase, just saying the magic is gone.

    Finally figured out what you are getting at in 2 videos about the Nimbus 25 lacing...very strange hypothetical complaint...did you have any actual issues with durability (like the Puma Fast R that you still recommended on your top list lol)?? I have 4 used N25 pairs 2x500km and 2xjust over 200km...no issues with laces but one pair got a hole above a big toe

    Which shoe would you choose as a daily between the monster 2, eclipse, invincible 3, superblast/novablast and prime x strung 2. I like max cushion with some spring and response at the same time. Gravitating towards monster or superblast and only going away from prime for the crazy price.

    I’ve been thinking about the durability of the lacing system. You don’t need to outrun the lion - you only need to outrun the other folks on the safari. Same thing here. The laces don’t need to last forever - they only need to last longer than the midsole. I’ve got 400km in my Nimbus 25 and the lacing system is holding up fine. But the midsole is starting to show signs of compression and the outsole has some definite wear. I’ll be replacing the shoes when the midsole stops performing, and at this rate it looks like the laces will still be fine. Great review - keep them coming.

    • @AubreyRunning
      @AubreyRunning  4 місяці тому +1

      Great point, i am particularly specific about laces because I have had a few where the laces have broken. Granted it’s. Common issues where the fit needs to be really negotiated and you pull at the laces. I am actually seeing the eyelets in the Saucony ride 17 lifting up because they have similar structures and I that’s definitely not outliving the outsole

    I guess that the most soft cushioning shoes from ON are the Cloud Surfer and Cloud Stratus 3. But these two can be a bit unstable, depending on your needs to support your overpronation. Hopefully, the stability and support of Monster 2 is closer to what the Cloud Eclipse offers : anyone could use neutral or overpronation needs runners !

    • @AubreyRunning
      @AubreyRunning  4 місяці тому +1

      It’s such a confusing mix for those not familiar indeed. I think the new monster 2 has a place in the On rotation. It’s an aesthetic cushioned firm ride to summarise

    Hi Aubrey. Have you actually been for any meaningful runs in this shoe? I know you have been injured. Or any runs at all?

    • @AubreyRunning
      @AubreyRunning  4 місяці тому

      I have indeed, not what I normally do but 3 runs in total. 6K easy, 5K steady and 4K with strides. I would also say that’s what’s meaningful to me in terms of my running.
      I’m restarting structured running soon which I will share following a fitness test this Sunday based on my Garmin watch.

  • @NickSmith-qv9ep
    @NickSmith-qv9ep 4 місяці тому +1

    The problem I have is this Aubrey. Recently I bought a pair of Adidas Prime X strung. I put them on and the fit felt amazing. Went for a couple of shortish runs, sort of okay. A bit of rubbing toes, but thought it will break in. Then on a 28k long run, the blisters are killing me, my feet are covered in blood. I have to walk home...So when your followers say that shoe reviews over 5-20k are okay they are not. My first impression video of the Adidas Prime X strung., that is after 43k, is it hurts a lot!

    • @AubreyRunning
      @AubreyRunning  4 місяці тому +2

      I think this is a valid point, I really do and I argue with it. I would also have to say… shoes are highly personal. I have both prime x strung 1 & 2 and they are literally some of my best running shoes and I have 100K in the PX2 and 45K in v1.
      Essentially I get your point but initial reviews matter! That reminds me, it’s time for a 100K review on the PX2

  • @NickSmith-qv9ep
    @NickSmith-qv9ep 4 місяці тому +1

    How many miles do you have in this shoe, Aubrey? Does it break in, improve after 50k etc? You speak about durabilty, but you are just guessing? All theses shoes with 5k on them, please send them to me!

    • @AubreyRunning
      @AubreyRunning  4 місяці тому +2

      😂😂😂 I would never guess and it’s exactly why in the video I tell you about the Ks I’ve put in the shoe. I even tell you in my reviews on things that I will circle back on.
      But yeah.. to answer your question, 15K across 3 runs

    Usually, the weight is a deal breaker to me. It wouldn't matter for the first few miles, but at 308 grams, you would really feel the weight going longer distances. As Edd Bud would say, "it's going to be a nay for me."

    Meta speed sky will do better job for run… lighter… more cushion and boost 10% performance….monster 1 is easier casual shoes… speed board helps and give forward rolling… eclips has good coushion but no forward rolling.

      I just tried one in shop for m2. It’s heavy and firm( the filling under speedboard not only added weight but a firmer feel). It does give more cushion on toe landing. I didn’t feel much bounce but a more solid firm feel. It’s a lot different from m1 and I think it turned to be a different kind of thing. It’s not bad but different. I would rather keep the old m1 for casual walk rather than a heavier m2. Every brand is moving forward for more cushion. The trend is killing a lot good design.
