The Full Story

LoveBar's deep-dive, written for humans 💕

Hoka Clifton 10 and On Cloudmonster 2 represent two very different ideas about what a daily running shoe should feel like. The Clifton has been Hoka's bread and butter for years — it is the shoe that converted millions of runners to the max-cushion life. Version 10 keeps the formula tight: lightweight, smooth transitions, and enough cushion to make your easy runs feel effortless. The Cloudmonster 2 is On's big swing at the same category but with a completely different personality. Those chunky cloud pods on the outsole give it a look that is impossible to miss, and the ride is distinctly bouncy — almost playful compared to the Clifton's calm. The Clifton is the shoe that disappears on your foot and lets you just run. The Cloudmonster is the shoe that reminds you it is there with every step, in the best way. If you want quiet reliability, go Clifton. If you want something that feels different and looks wild, the Cloudmonster delivers.
