I found the sizes run pretty narrow, I ordered a WW, and it feels more like a C width. But it fits really well. They don't mention the shoes aren't all that waterproof though. In sprinkling rain, it's fine, but any more than that and you're toes and socks are instantly soaked because the fabric is so thin. Great ventilation, but they're not warm. I'm keeping them because they're super cushy, cozy and breathable, but now I have to buy something for real walks/runs in the rain.

Love these shoes. Perfect balance between support and cushioning. I have high arches, and these are the best fitting shoes -- keep coming back to the Cumulus.

Ordered these on a Wednesday afternoon, and received next day! Love the fast Zappos service, and no shipping or tax. This is my third pair of Cumulus style, so obviously it's been a great shoe for me. While I wear a 9 or 9.5, I order an 11 each time. This leaves about a thumb size for my big toe to the shoe end. I normally get about a 1-2 years, and do walking only.

Given that this is my, oh, like 6th pair of either Asics Gel-Cumulus 11 or 12, I would say they work for me. I am a distance runner and don't run in anything else. Competitively priced, shipped overnight, I couldn't ask for more. FYI, I always order my running shoes a full size larger than my dress shoes. Thanks Zappos.

I love these shoes! They are light weight, have high arch support, and fit my foot perfectly! This is my second pair I have bought because I love them so much! They feel like I am running on clouds! The color and style are also great!

ASICS are my favorite running shoe for over 12 years. I like the Nimbus model better than this one (Cumulus) though. All my ASICS have been light weight, given great support and lasted.

I love these shoes! This is my fourth pair of the same style of shoe. When one pair gets old, I just go to Zappos and order a new one. They always arrive the next day. I love that!

I have trouble with shin splints and needed a shoe with the best arch support.
I always buy .5 size larger in athletic shoes so this was true to size.
The only trouble is the mesh top is a little cold when walking in 20 degree weather but the shoe is worth it.

I love the shoes. I'be been running with Gel-Cumuls for the last 9 years and only once I've strayed to Nimbus, which wasn't a good match for me. I am a pretty extreme case of underpronator, and this shoes give me a good balance of stability, cushioning and comfort. I only wish they make the back of the shoe a bit lower, since it's been giving me blisters for the first couple of runs. This only happened with the last 3 versions of the model. Asics can also work a bit on the color scheme.

These are the best neutral running shoes. I tried running in Nikes and they were so uncomfortable. I highly recommend these for all runners and walkers. Great cushion and support. Love Asics!

I love these shoes. They are the most comfortable I've ever had. I've had the Cumulus 10 before these and they lasted and wore very well. After wearing them for over 2 years with lots of use, I would not even consider buying another kind. You will not be disappointed.

I have a high arch and love this shoe for running. They are lightweight with a lot of cushioning. I size up half a size when ordering the Narrow.

I have alot of foot pain. I was looking for a shoe without stiff arch support. I find this shoe to be very comfortable. I wish the Wide ran wider.

I always run in Asics. I'm always a solid 9.5 in Asics. I got these and was sad to realize I couldn't use them right away - they are a solid half size smaller than other Asics. Once I exchanged, they're pretty good. It took a few long runs to break them in (the first time, I got blisters, which I never do), but now they're great. Not the best Asics I've bought, but certainly not the worst.

These shoes are comfortable to run in, except for the fact that the back heel comes up so far that I had terrible blisters the first 3 times I wore them. My feet are accustomed to the heels now, but at first were incredibly sore.

Have happily worn Aasics for a number of years. These seemed to run a bit smaller and narrower than the pair they were replacing (I take a D width), However, comfortable on the whole so I kept them. As per usual, Zappos provided blazing fast delivery. Thanks!

I guess, I should have read all reviews, before selecting my size. I own several ASICS, which are size 8, but this shoe runs half size small and very narrow. I'm so disappointed, that I have to return them and on top of it, they ran out of size 8.5, so I have to hunt for another pair.

Love these shoes. My second pair. Good stability and support, and they are light weight for a shoe in this class.

These felt narrower than a previous pair of the same model...not sure what's up with that. They have to go back, unfortunately.

I had to trim part of the insole on the outer edge of each shoe because it was rubbing against my foot and causing blisters. I also have to be sure to wear socks or else the back rubs causing another blister. It feels like they run a little small and now that they are trimmed and I know to wear socks, they are fine.

I really like this shoe, but I wish I would have bought a half size bigger. Typically eights stretch out for me and 8 1/2 are too big but I think with this shoe it would have fit better. I have other Asics that were truer to size but like I said, these seem to run a little small. They are comfortable though!

I had heard great things bout these shoes and my old Asics (Kahanas) were wearing out. I bought these with high expectations that they would be my new favorite running shoes. For some reason, though, they have never felt comfortable. I am now running in Brooks Ghosts, which I like much better. That being said, I know a lot of people who love their Cumuluses.

Great shoes. No break in period, super comfortable, and long lasting compared to some other brands.

I am new to running and chose this shoe because of a high arch, and am very satisfied. The only problem I find is the gel pressure at the base of my toes--but it isn't so bad that I need to change shoes. Zappos is great!

Yes, they are like walking on a cloud! The look great, very comfortable and wearing well so far. The only negative is they seem to fit a little wide.
