On, the upstart Swiss running shoe brand, has made a splash in the running shoe world with its unique approach to shoe construction (its hollow CloudTec midsoles are instantly recognizable). If you’ve been curious about trying these kicks, now’s a great time to do it. REI just dropped the prices of a handful of On running shoes, including the super cushy On Cloudmonster 2.

On Cloudmonster 2 Road Running Shoes are on sale for $135 right now, a 25% discount from their normal price of $180. These shoes offer “extreme cushioning” (according to REI) for a pillowy underfoot sensation while running. Two colorways are on sale, and you can order them in sizes 8 up to 13, though some have already started to sell out.

The On Cloudmonster is one of the many max-cushion shoes in the brand’s lineup, but it really ups the ante with its massive midsole that’s packed with On’s best tech. The midsole is made from dual-density Helion foam, which offers excellent shock absorption and bouncy responsiveness, and it’s paired with a nylon Speedboard that stabilizes the thick midsole and helps you get maximum energy return. On’s signature CloudTec pods—essentially hollow tubes within the midsole—compress upon landing for a plush feel. Up top, an engineered mesh upper offers a close wrap around the foot, and on the bottom, rubber outsole placements give you confident footing on the pavement.

REI shoppers have been showering the Cloudmonster 2 with praise. One called them “awesome shoes with great comfort and fit,” adding, “The Cloudmonster 2 offers great arch support and stability,” they added.

“Most comfortable shoe that I’ve ever owned, even though I’ve been a hardcore fan of Adidas for decades,” said another shopper. One reviewer summed it up simply by saying the “cushion is fantastic.”

Comfy running shoes like the On Cloudmonster 2 are a real treat for your feet: They offer a plush ride that makes every step feel great. These feature-packed shoes rarely get big markdowns, so don’t miss your chance to pick up a pair for just $135. Sizes are already selling out—grab a pair today while you can.
