Overall, I love these shoes. However, they seem to be a bit narrower than other Asics models that I have tried. I had been wearing the Nimbus line for many years, but decided to give the Cumulus a try. I ended up needing to send them back for the wide width and also went up a half size. Once I did that, I was quite satisfied with the shoe.

This is very cushioned and comfortable. Unfortunately, my Gel Cumulus 11s started falling apart after only 6 months of wear and not too much running. Hopefully these will last longer! I wear full-length insoles, so I buy a half size up to accommodate them. I just wish they made a darker women's running shoe in wide sizes.

These sneakers are just what they say - your feet are on clouds, and you get great support. They also come in wide width.

This shoe works well for me because of its roomy toe box and snug enough heel. I\'m very pleased.

This shoe looks nice and is comfortable. Really wanted a grey or silver shoe as this is what I had in my last pair of Asics, but that color was not available. So, the shoe soils easily when running outside. Also, it felt a little short in length but has given a little with wear. Would probably order a 1/2 size larger next time. All in all a comfortable shoe. I have a narrow heel and these shoes do not slip. Shipping was amazingly fast, as usual.

I bought these shoes because I have high arches, but the left has fallen slightly, causing pain and tingling in the arch and the ball of my foot. I have a neutral gait and need a cushioned athletic shoe. This shoe is definitely cushioned and felt fantastic on both feet! Unfortunately, the area along the inner side of the heel seems to dip pretty significantly and within a few minutes of wear around my house, my knees were killing me on the inner side of both knee caps. I guess this shoe is less neutral than I'd anticipated. I would not advise this shoe for someone with a neutral gait, and will miss the way my feet felt during their short vacation in these shoes.

I routinely buy and love Asics, but this shoe feels 1 size smaller than marked.

I think the pair of shoes I received may have been irregular. The right shoe seemed much smaller and narrower then the left. I have never had any Asics fit this incorrectly.

I purchased these in the white/blue/lime. Didn't love 'em, didn't hate 'em...just regular old sneakers in my opinion. Fit-wise, seemed a bit too narrow in the toe area (even in wide width).

These shoes did not fit one size too small; in fact they seemed to be as true to size as any other running shoe I've owned. I ordered one size up and they were huge! In addition to that, though, I've discovered that Asics just don't fit me right. The heel seems to be too roomy and my heels side around. Not sure why? I don't have this issue with any other brand and by no means do I have small bone structure or narrow feet! I settled on a pair of Mizuno's and those fit quite well. New Balance also tend to be a good fit for me, as well.

I had high hopes, based on the reviews, but these shoes are not true to size, feeling at least a 1/2 size smaller and narrower, and are not made for my feet. I found the arch support excellent, but there is an added metatarsal component that is totally wrong for my feet and made them hurt. I considered exchanging them for the next size up, but the metatarsal support problem ruled out that possibility.

I am disapointed in this shoe. It felt OK but not nearly as comfortable as the Nimbus I had before. It felt snug and just not very cushy. This pair will be returned and I will order another pair of Nimbus.

My previous GT-2160s fit great, but when I ordered a new pair, the heel was now too wide. So I tried the Cumulus, which at first, were comfortable and a better fit. But after a few workouts, I\'m noticing my feet are pronating (I an actually see this in the unstructured shoe) and my feet hurt after working out. I am very disappointed in this shoe and wish I hadn\'t kept it.

Awful! I'm training for a marathon. It's supposed to be a lighter shoe for long-distance running. I was uncertain about the shoe after trying it on, but figured I'd like them once I started running. Wrong. The thinner, less cushioned sole does not give adequate protection while running on pavement. I don't normally have problems with my knees, yet I did after only one run in these shoes. Don't purchase them if you're planning to run in them. They're probably fine for other activities like weight lifting, aerobics, etc.

I thought since I have been happy with the last Asics I bought this would be the same. That turned out not to be true. It is just an uncomfortable fit seems to point to the left and looks weird on. I hoped to take them on a trip but leaving tomorrow and I guess it leaves to go back today.

I always wear an 8 with Asics Gel Cumulus, but not in this one. It runs at least one or two sizes too small! Now I have to return them...rrrrr.

This is the best running shoe I've ever owned. The padding is great, and the sizes are perfect. I've logged about 300 miles in these, and they are still supportive and comfortable. I will buy this same shoe until they stop making them.

Great shoe, but I'm already an Asics fan. I love shopping with Zappos because I save money, there's never an issue with a return/exchange and they ship promptly.

Love the shoes. Already had one pair. Good support and wear well. I need arch support and these provide that.

These shoes are a dream to walk in. I even feel like I walking taller. I will say that I do not have wide feet but I had to order a wide and they were still a teensy bit tight. After one walk they were broken in. That being said I love how they cushion every single nook and cranny of my feet.

I am not sure if I am going to keep these shoes or not yet because they rub my ankles a little, but I have to say, I really like them. The colors are really really pretty and the cushioning is awesome. if you want a really cushiony shoe that looks great, these are the ones. Tip: I would recommend buying 1/2 a size larger than what you would normally buy if you usually buy New Balance because that's what I did and they fit just right.

New Balance is good also.

Wow, happy to review this purchase! The experience in a word was fantastic. A few details about my purchase. I had been buying my shoes at a specialty running store for a lot of money. When I saw that they weren't that much at Zappos it was a no brainer. The whole process was a great experience and I will do it again and again.

I have worn this shoe only for as long as I can remember. They have run 2 marathons and numerous 1/2 marathons and ten milers.

I have been buying my sneakers from Zappos for about five years, specifically Asics. They also have black sneakers that are wide enough (I could not find black in any of the stores and was having to wear white to work). I had a problem with my knees and feet, and wearing sneakers all the time kept me from knee surgery. I hated wearing white to work, but could not find any in black in the style I liked. Someone mentioned Zappos, and although I was not big on ordering online, I did, and have been very happy with them. There is no shipping charge and the sneakers arrive within a day! Plus they have many black to choose from. Most importantly, I have not required knee surgery and it hs been almost seven years since the doctor told me I needed it! I still get the inserts from the store I used to buy my sneakers from, and they fit right into my Zappos sneakers, they are good for extra support. I try to buy every five months since I wear them every day, and I buy white for the summer and to wear on weekends. I am now a lifetime customer of Zappos!

Got these shoes today. These shoes are a dream on. However, I must have one foot wider than the other. So I am exchanging for a wide even though I feel the shoe is true to size. Shoe is so cushiony. Love Zappos customer service.

Very attractive and comfortable shoe that fits well. Felt a little snug at first, but then it readily conformed to the foot to become really comfortable.
