I'm no pro runner, but I believe this shoe to be top notch! I got the 12 1/2 2E. It fits just great and is really comfortable.

This is my 3rd pair of Asics and I am very happy with these. Through Zappos' website I was able to determine I have a supination in my ankles/feet and these Asics were one of the recommended shoes for that problem. Noticeable difference in using shoes that compensate for my feet. I would highly recommend anyone who plans on running to first use the info on this website to assess their possibility of needing shoes designed for an angle. Anywho, these Asics are just as good as all the other Asics I've had; highly recommend them.

Great shoes! Super comfortable and great cushioning for long distance walking. I buy the mens size for the extra width which is right for me.\r\n\r\n

In the past I have always preferred Adidas running shoes. I bought these first at a retail store because I wanted to check the fit. I picked them because I couldn't find any Adidas that I liked. I love these shoes. I keep shoes both at home and at work, so as soon as I knew how much I liked them. I ordered a second pair at Zappos!

This is a great shoe. I wore the Asics Nimbus for years and recently decided to change to the Cumulus. The Cumulus is a light shoe that still provides custom for long runs.

My normal size fit a bit too snug, but got excellent service from Zappos and returned the original pair and 1/2 size larger fit perfectly.

This is the second pair I have bought of these running shoes. Best shoes I have ever run in. The cushioning is exactly what I need and the fit is perfect.

I have worn the gel cumulus model for the last 3 years consecutively for running. I have never had any problems with them. These shoes are for people that have a neutral stride, or don't pronate in our out. I would highly recommend these shoes to anyone that runs and wants shoes that will perform.

These are great shoes. If you have wide front of the foot and need padding, these are neutral runners. They have a nice wide front and the rear part is normal size. I have bought wide shoes from other companies and the whole shoe was wide, which I didn't need, and kept slipping off my foot; these don't do that. I like the Gel-Cumulus 10 model a little better, but Asics stopped making them. I'm a big guy (about 200 lbs) with big feet and run around 40 miles a week. I buy the 14, 4E size and my feet are very comfortable and happy, and knees are doing great. I alternate between 2-3 pairs at a time to give shoes a chance to dry out between runs. I always buy from Zappos, don't even screw around with the local shops (nice folks, but they never have my size). The shoes typically come from Zappos the next day delivered right to my door, almost like ordering a pizza. Zappos rules.

These are very good running shoes. The online description is accurate and the free delivery helps make the price a good value.

I've been through a lot of different shoes in my running career, but oddly enough I've never owned a pair of Asics. I'm a pretty heavy runner, 6 ft, 200 lbs, and I've been with Brooks for the past 5 years. Brooks just weren't cutting it anymore so I began the quest for a new shoe. Given my weight, my preference for a wider toe box, and that I am a heel striker, I'm looking for a neutral-ish, cushioned shoe. I opted for the Cumulus 11 based upon reviews and comparisons of the same platform on different shoes weighed against my experience with other brands. 3 weeks and 100 miles later, I'm loving the shoe. There was no 'break in' period and the shoe feels just as good on day 21 as it did on day 1. I am an Asics fan from here on out. Kudos to the whole Zappos purchasing experience as well!

These shoes were great! Perfect and true to size! My husband usually wears Asics so these weren't a surprise! The delivery was quick! We're at an APO address and I figured a week or two, but I say less than 7 days! We love Zappos and will continue to order from them again!

This is a great shoe. I bought it in extra wide, and I liked it so much I bought two. My experience is if you find a good shoe, go ahead and get several pairs because you never know when they\'re going to be discontinued.

Adidas Running Climacool Response W (if you can find them)

These Asics Gel-Cumulus 11 shoes are so comfortable, I feel like I\'m not wearing shoes at all. They have a good bounce, and I don\'t feel any of the gel packs under my feet, which is a good sign that the gel is spread evenly. I didn\'t have any trouble breaking them in whatsoever. My first run with them was 7 miles through the streets of Washington, DC. They ran over pavement, metal, dirt, grass, asphalt, wood, and cobblestone without problems.\r\n\r\nBy the second run, I felt they were fully broken in, and I ran 17 miles without any pains or sores from having new shoes. I threw the old ones out immediately. In fact, writing this review reminds me that I want to buy another pair of these, so I can alternate the wear on these, in case something happens to one pair during training.\r\n\r\nI have wide feet, so these shoes work perfect for me. My feet have plenty of room to expand once I get into double-digit runs. They breathe very easy and are able to whisk away water with ease. Also, they have yet to untie themselves while running, so the laces stay intact.\r\n\r\nEven for casual wear, they look stylish and comfortable, especially while wearing running socks. My feet feel a bit snug with regular cotton socks. And since people generally don\'t untie shoes when taking them off, these are easy to pop off the heel. No worries though--they don\'t feel like they\'re going to pop off while running, since they have a firm grip around your heel.\r\n\r\nI also wore them while taking a class in curling (similar to shuffle board on ice), and they kept my feet warm even when I was sliding around on ice for a couple hours!\r\n\r\nWhat else can I say? They are the perfect running shoes, and I plan on buying them over and over again until they are discontinued or until I can run no longer. \r\n\r\nI purchased them from Zappos.com\'s online store. I am training for a full marathon at the Las Vegas Marathon in December 2009.

As a gal with a wide foot and a high arch, I was so happy to find ASICS running shoes. Asics have it all for me - authentically wide footbed, superior support, and cloud-like cushioning (it’s the gel, you see). I’ve tried NB and Adidas and Asics are truly my shoe. I wear 8.5 WW in ladies’ street shoes and 84E in Asics men’s running.

These are great shoes. I got wides this time, which I normally don't get, but they fit really well. They keep my feet cool, too. It was a great value.

I originally purchased a pair of Spira running shoes that caused enough pain in my left foot for me to contemplate going to the doctor to see if it was broken. Zappos graciously accepted my return four months after I purchased the shoes; great service! I purchased these replacement sneakers and am very happy with their performance; no pain in my foot! I highly recommend all Asics products and of course Zappos.

Received these shoes next day after ordering them, you must be kidding on that. Service is beyond great. These are now my favorite shoe. I had to go with 4E width and the fit is perfect with the heel area being just right. Very lightweight shoe, excellent breathable mesh construction. I went through 6 pairs of sneakers before I found these, the search is over at last.

These shoes are like walking on a cloud, and I'm a walker. When I took my first step I realized the Gel-Cumulus 11 is the best shoe I've ever used. When I walk, I get a spring off the heel and toe. I walk up and down paved hills and my feet never get hot or sore. They're so lightweight, it feels like they're not even there.

I've been an avid fan of Gel Cumulus since 2003. However, this is my least favorite iteration, for two reasons, both related to a large bunion on my right foot. One, they've locked the tongue in place, which makes adjusting the shoe to fit better difficult. Two, the stitching for the external strips runs right over the bunion area. Combined, both of these features cause the shoe to feel narrow than past versions. The solution has been to leave the laces looser. That said, hard to find a better shoe out there in a 4E that enables me to run with a bunion.
