Brooks Ghost 18 vs On Cloudmonster 3
Sqwod verdict
Our pick: Brooks Ghost 18 takes it — 81 vs 77.
Both are strong — the call comes down to what you prioritise:
- Brooks Ghost 18 — You coach beginners or neutral heel-strikers who need a stable, durable, foolproof shoe for daily easy miles.
- On Cloudmonster 3 — You coach neutral runners who like a firm, rockered max-stack trainer and want On's build quality for easy and long miles.
Our pick 
Brooks Ghost 18
81Score · Medium
from €127.99
A dependable, durable neutral daily trainer that does everything competently and nothing excitingly — safe over spectacular.
On Cloudmonster 3
77Score · Medium
from €140
A refined Cloudmonster with a better upper and a smoother roll, but the same heavy, firm Helion ride. Buy it for On's rocker and build quality, not for bounce.
