Confortable and fast

Overall

I use it for everything, if we have to do reps in the winter when I don’t care much if I need to run fast, to the long runs.

Went back to Asics after all these years

Anonymous runner · Sep 28, 2025

4/5

Overall

Wore Asics in MS and HS, when I ran the most competitively. Into college, I tried different brands while injured to try and help recovery. None really helped, but worked thru Saucony, New Balance, I think even Reebok for a time. Was wearing Salomon trail runnings for a few years until finally going back to Asics thanks to our local bargain outlet (Deals & Steals). The Cumulus fits my wider forefoot and narrow heel, the heel cup doesn't slip like most other brands, and it's got enough cushioning (for the first 300 miles) to keep the PF at bay. I wore that pair 400 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail. No foot problems. Since then I've gotten 4 pair a year.

Overall

This shoe is quite heavy and as such you are aware of it when running sometimes. That said, it is very well-cushioned both within soft pads in the lining as well as sole cushioning. This makes it very good for preventing injury. After about 600 miles the sole has worn almost completely away on one side. However, it still (I will be buying a new pair though...)

Good shoe

Anonymous runner · Sep 28, 2025

4/5

Overall

These are a solid every training shoe. They’re high support and a bit clunky, but I don’t mind. They have a lot of support and are a bit stiff when breaking them in. No complaints, they’re a good pair of trainers worth the money. Only complaint is thAt the fabric on the top of the toe box does feel a bit thin, but it doesn’t bother me much.

No bells and whistles but a solid shoe

Anonymous runner · Sep 28, 2025

5/5

Overall

If you need a neutral shoe or supinate slightly this is a solid choice. It's not the lightest nor the heaviest, cushioned pretty well and is of decent build quality. It's deep enough to accommodate orthotics and has a nice supportive feel on the back of the heel.
