For easy and long runs

Overall
I was looking for a comfortable shoe, softer than my usual Mizuno Wave Rider. A store salesman suggested me the Cumulus and I really liked the cushioning.
The fit is true to size. They are very comfortable, with a lot of padding around the foot, front to back. My feet are locked down around the ankle and I still have some room in the toe box.
But I had mixed feeling after my first runs: although very comfortable and not feeling tired after my runs, I felt like sinking at every step due to the softness of the sole, its weight more on the heavy side and its lack of responsiveness. Slow pace was ok, but it was very difficult to pick up speed and keep a faster pace. I really had to put more effort than I wished.
After 100km with them, this actually changed. The sole became harder, I didn't have that much sinking feeling, and I even started to feel some rebound. I'm definitely more confident that I can use these shoes for long runs, up to marathon distance.
