Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Cumulus® 14

Cumulus 13 lovers, this is not the same shoe. The Cumulus 14 is missing all the cushiony goodness that I loved in the Cumulus 13. I ran through 4 pairs of Cumulus 13's the Cumulus 14's have been returned. Runner's World provides an excellent comparison of the Cumulus 13's and Cumulus 14's. http://www.runnersworld.com/shoe/gel-cumulus-13-0 http://www.runnersworld.com/shoe/gel-cumulus-14-0 I am on the hut for a new pair of running shoes. :(

BEWARE. Really disappointed. I had a pair of Cumulus 13 which I bought because because of their extreme cushioning. They were awesome. I need a new pair and ordered the Cumulus 14 (the 13s replacement). I instantly noticed they did not have as much cushion as my old pair. To confirm this, I took out the sole and felt the bottoms of the 13 and 14's. Yup. Suspicion confirmed. You can feel hard ridges of the bottom on the 14's as opposed to the soft cushion on the 13's . Sadly, I will return my new 14s to Zappos. I tried searching online for 13's and so far all I can find is really odd sizes.

This is the most comfortable shoe for anyone who needs support at the metatarsal, arch, and heel. Feels bouncy and well cushioned at every foot strike. I never get shin splints with these cumulus, perfectly named shoe. I love the new colors!

I have been wearing the Cumulus shoes for years. I had already purchased them, in the past, half a size bigger than my other Asics, so I was really surprised when I found these shoes to be too short and I had to go a whole size. The majority of my Asics are 7½. My Cumulus shoes have always been 8. But I got these shoes in an 8½. If these are the same shoes as previous Cumulus styles then I do not understand why they are running so short. I got these in the the dark grey/aqua. And as always, I am happy with them. Cumulus are my go-to shoes when I buy higher-end shoes. Except for the length, they feel like the same ole Cumulus: Great support, comfortable, nice color.

Great, after I figured out they run super small. I have a wider front foot and narrow heel and don't pronate. Had to size up a whole size from street shoes. I never owned the 13s so can't speak to the problems that people have with these. Size up!

I have had a wide 7 in the cumulus 12 and this is much more narrow. It's too bad because I have loved these shoes

This is my fourth pair of Asics Cumulus. They are not the same shoe. The padding in the ball of the foot has changed and it is not as cushioned or comfortable. I am returning and trying a different Asics style.

This iteration of the Asics Cumulus series has two major drawbacks: the toe box is not nearly as roomy as my former pairs, and the cushioning is not as good. I'm making do with less than cloud like comfort because I need the Cumulus for pronation stability and because I use my own orthotic in the shoe. I'm wondering if this model may be the result of Asics attempting to economize on the cost of their product.

Normally ASICS gel Cumulus is my go-to shoe, and has been for some time. I was so disappointed in the fit of Cumulus 14. The "wide" is closer to average and the size length just barely fits. I do like the lowered feel in the heel, however. My orthotics always fit, so that is a good thing. Come on, ASICS! You can do better! This pair is just about worn out; I am looking forward to the Cumulus 15. Just a thought--please make the wide version in more than one color choice. Thanks! PS. I always purchase my Asics from Zappos--your service is the best!

Hate these shoes. Have worn Asics Cumulus for 4 years happily. Cumulus 14 is light weight, no arch support and like a board to run on. Give me Cumulus 13 anytime. Have scoured the internet to find extra pairs of them. They are light weight, good arch support and like running on clouds.

I agree with previous posts - the shoe size runs small in the front/toe portion of the shoes. Consider ordering a larger size.

Feels like you are walking on clouds when wearing these shoes. I absolutely love them!

Great shoes! Very comfortable, I don't run but I'm on my feet all day and these shoes feel great. No "break in" period just put them on an go. Everything about them is great, color, fit and comfort. Great shoe for the price!

Asics are my go to running shoe. I just replaced my cumulus 13's with this version. I love them as much as the pair before and when time to replace will be sure to stick with Asics.

I love my new athletic shoes! I usually wear New Balance and wanted to try something new. Sure glad I did. They have been comfortable since I first put them on, No "break in" period needed. Really like the color. The fit is perfect! Really hard to find a size 13. Thanks Asics!

They seem comfortable and supportive, but they run a bit short and tight--I'm normally a solid 9.5 in Asics, but these 9.5W were too small for me.

Great shoe! Much better than my last non-Asics choice! Very lightweight and comfortable. The gel on the bottom is great. I could instantly feel a huge difference on the gravel I do part of my runs on. I've run 60-70 miles in these in the first 3 weeks of owning them and have been injury free and very comfortable. Also...love the design and colors. Woot woot!

The Cumulus & the Nimbus are the only Asics for high arches. Do not find, as I've seen reported elsewhere, that this shoe is narrow. Now run about 30 miles per week, scaling back.

Love these shoes! Very cute and so comfortable. The only thing that has seemed to change since my last ASIC Cumulus purchase is that the arch support isn't as high, so I was a little bummed about that.

These sneakers rock! My podiatrist recommended them to me based on my foot. They are the most comfortable I have ever had.

Great shoes! Very comfortable. I always seem to get Asics. They are the best shoe for me.

Love the comfort and support! I got the narrow, and really like it. I've worn normal width Asics before and thought they were fine, but the narrow feels much more snug and secure on my feet.

Have purchased these shoes for years, and was time to replace the last pair. Color is good, comfort and fit consistent with previous pairs.

Love the shoes! Extremely loved the service from Zappos as well. I ordered these shoes late in the evening one night and they were on my doorstep the following day... FREE SHIPPING! Awesome. They have me hook line and sinker as a customer!

Love them. No blisters or pain. No need to break them in. Great sneakers. I use them for running and working out.
