Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Cumulus® 11

I used to be an avid cross country runner, and now that college has slowed down a bit and I have some time on my hands, I've started running again. I used to only go with the asics Gel-DS Trainers, but these are perfect for a moderate runner. I'm pretty large (200+ lbs) and I have little to no joint pain what so ever with these shoes. I wouldn't suggest these for competitive running, as the soles are a little large for serious terrain, but work well for anything outside of that.

If you want cushioning, you got it. Good for my high arches. Order a 1/2 size up. I don't think this shoe would be good for guys over 180 lbs.

Comfortable and supportive but ugly. Honestly I am not sure what is visually appealing about these shoes. Yes they are ASICS and have the usual quality materials and support, but whew, I opened them and man I really thought they were the ugliest things I had seen in a while, so I returned them. Size seemed to meet my expectation and width seemed typical to me for ASICS.

I got this shoe last week, and went 12 miles this weekend. The 11 is not as comfortable a fit as the 9 was. The toe box was roomy, the fit was good except for the heel. The heel cup rubbed blisters on the insides of both heels. I\'ve never had that in any of my running shoes before.

I got these because I had the Gel-Cumulus 10's and I really like them. Unfortunately these are nothing like their predecessor. The cushioning is much worse, I have yet to go for a pain free run in these. Also the padding in the upper part of the shoe is gone. The Cumulus 10's had a lot of upper cushion (it did make the shoe look bulky, but it was comfortable), these shoes did into the sides and top of my feet. They are very uncomfortable to run in. I would not recommend them at all.
