Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Cumulus® 12

Not as good as the Asics 2150 that I've had the last few times. Still, I am a big fan of the support they provide.

I love ASICS brand shoes. However, this particular style runs a tiny bit too small. Zappos is great! I will never order shoes from any other company!

I'm a fan of Asics Cumulus and Nimbus shoes, but I was so disappointed in these Cumulus 12s! I ordered them in a 10 wide, and the top of the shoe is pushing down into my foot. It's literally making my feet tingle as I sit here with my feet propped up! They are also far more narrow than I would have guessed for a "wide" shoe. I've never purchased anything "extra wide" for my feet, so I have to believe that it is these shoes. Sadly, I am sending them back, and waiting a few more days to go jogging. I would recommend Asics Cumulus, just not version 12.

I have a size 12 foot and I heard that Asics ran small, but I have not had a problem with shoes fitting before, so I bought a size 12. However, I put on the size 12s I ordered and my toes were right to the end. So I'm going to reorder the 12.5s because other than the fit, the shoes felt great on my feet.

Took a little bit of time to get used to it because of wide toe box. Been a Nike Shox buyer for years, but after a few weeks I would never go back.

Love the Cumulus. It's a great shoe every time. Best cushioning for low-moderate beginners. The only down fall is the junky selection in color choices. I never like any of the options in all versions of the Cumulus, and I've been buying them for a long time. Why are the colors so boring and all out pink and baby blue, purple? Please make an attractive Cumulus sometime soon. Bottom line is though that I don't buy and wear these for fashion, that's for sure. They are a great running shoe though. Always end up back in a pair.

I bought a pair of Gel-Cumulus 12 and I love them. They're comfortable and light just to hit the road.

I normally love Gel-Cumulus but this pair feels different. Tighter toe box and less cushioning. The soles are really stiff. Will have to find a different shoe.

This shoe is shorter than previous versions that I have worn. I wear a 13N and would like a 14N if they made it. I have a high arch and it feels good everywhere but the toe. Just a hair too short, I can feel the mesh at the top of the shoe. I wish they could just keep the sizing the same. Also, please just make white on white. I'm sick of the crazy color combos.

This shoe runs really small. I ordered a half size larger than usual, but it was still too small.

Sorry, but I am going to return these shoes. On the good size, they fit my narrow foot very well. On the bad side, they don't seem to have much arch support -- my left foot started hurting just walking in them indoors. They don't feel as well made or supportive as New Balance or Nikes I've owned, though in fairness I spent more on those shoes. File under "you get what you pay for" I guess. I think I will upgrade when I return.

I've worn a 6.5 in Asics for years, and this is the first problem I've had. The toe is narrower than other models making it seem shorter. They're going back.

These ran very small. I have 11.5 Asics now but I need to return these -- they are definitely smaller than my other pairs. I might need to go to a shoe store to try on.

Beware, wide does not mean wide in the toe box. At least not for me. I should have known by the pointy toes.

Although I don't wear a wide shoe, I order sneakers in a wide width to accommodate socks. These sneakers run so small, the wide appears to me as a narrow. I only had them on my feet for 10 minutes and my feet started to go numb. The toe box was so tight across the instep that it actually hurt within a few minutes. The padding around the heel collar was so thick and rigid that it pressed on my heels and I have narrow heels. When I removed the insole, I noticed that the raw edges of the stitched fabric was showing. There was no liner inside to cover all of the seams. Overall, I was extremely disappointed with this sneaker.

This shoe was smaller and narrower than other Asics, and had less arch support than the other reviewers claimed. I was disappointed and returned them. Bought the 2160 instead, which was true to size/width and had super arch support.

Toe box seemed to be offset towards the right. Right shoe didn't fit my toes right. Felt like it was 1/2 size too short (and I usually order up a 1/2 size). Going back tomorrow!

I bought this pair of shoes since my last pair was also Cumulus - I ran in those until I busted out of them, they stayed comfy and cushiony for more than a year. This pair, however, have been stiff since the beginning, and have almost no cushioning. My feet hurt every time I run in them, and my footfalls are embarrassingly loud. I've tried to run them into submission, but that has failed. I guess I got lemons...I'll try Brooks next.

I love the brand Asics. I'm a nurse on on my feet for 12 hour shifts and this brand of shoe is the one for me. However I have not ordered Gel-Cumulus. This particular Asics shoe appears to be less of everything: the tongue does not cover the opening completely; the arch support is flatter; the material seems thinner and more prone to tearing. The beauty of buying a Zappos is that their return policy rocks so I will continue to shop with this company.

I have a very wide foot, so I ordered the wide model in a half-size larger than my normal size (as I always do with running shoes). However, I found these shoes to be tight around the entire foot. Worst of all, It felt like something is digging in to my skin near the top of the foot, but I can't tell exactly what it is. The sole appears to be the same width as my older New Balance shoes and a pair of Nikes I also ordered; maybe there's less mesh to go around, causing the tightness. They also seemed an inch longer than the same size in my NB and Nikes. The cushioning was great, though. I'd definitely order these if I had a narrow foot. I'm hoping that future models will be less constrictive.

I have had many pairs of ASICS and this is by far the least comfortable shoe I've ever had. I walk about 5 miles several times a week. I have never had pair of ASICS before that made my feet ache like these do. I will continue to buy ASICS, but not this particular model.

I've never had a pair of shoes hurt my feet as much as these. I wore them while walking on a treadmill and within 30 minutes they felt like bear claws. Couldn't wait to get them off my feet. I will be returning these.

I've worn ASICS running shoes for years. This style runs small in length and width across the arch. I have very narrow feet so this was a surprise, had to return. Disappointed!

I ordered wide and these were very narrow. I ordered 10 1/2 and they were shorter then the 10's I had previously tried.
