PositiveB+ and A-. One tester's favorite super trainer, a 'training mileage monster' with a rhythmic, bouncy forefoot. Another likes its durability and centered stability but finds it firm for the category, with a slightly long fit. $220 is steep.

PositiveTwenty-five miles in, this 1:17 half-marathoner who disliked the Cloudmonster is impressed by the Hyper: seamless, premium forefoot foam and a rocker that lets them dip under 6-minute pace.
Most runners find the On Cloudmonster Hyper very comfortable, with a roomy upper and a springy ride that shines at faster paces and works as a daily trainer. A few got blisters or heel pain, and a couple found it heavy or clunky. Several say it is best bought on sale.
Of the 27 reviews with a clear verdict, 67% are positive, 15% mixed and 19% negative. The praise mentioned most is comfortable fit. The most common complaint is heavy.
The complaints reviewers mention most: heavy (1 review). For example: 'Accidentally ordered decaf' (performance C). The upper and fit are near the top of the category, but one tester can't get past the boxy feel, and you can get the same ride or better elsewhere. The rigid, blocky midsole doesn't feel 'super'. Fine if you love On and have the budget.
