I don't think I have ever bought shoes for myself online. This was a great experience. I love the shoes. Fit right, comfortable and a good value. Thanks Zappos.com

I love these sneakers! I use them for walking and they are very comfortable and supportive. I did buy a half size larger than my normal size and they fit great.

I love these shoes as much as last year's Cumulus running shoe. I took a chance and ordered these online and the fit was the same. A good shoe for runners with a moderately high arch.

I bought these shoes to wear to the gym and they are just what I wanted. I have very flat feet and these provide the right amount of arch support. I also like the all black shoe because it makes my feet look a little smaller than they actually are. They are light weight and breathable. I will definitely purchase these again.

I think these are the first Asics I've ever ordered, but I have a feeling they won't my last. I ordered these for the stability/support. I feel like athletic shoes are more about the looks now than the function so when I read the description of the gel-cumulus I knew I had to give them a try. I walk 10K steps most days (about 5 miles), I have heel pain, and the Brooks I currently own didn't help. I ordered a half size up, but feel like I could have gone a full size up. They do feel good while I'm walking around the house. Here's hoping they keep my feet happy over time. I ordered the black because at a size 10.5 I don't need bright colors drawing attention to my large feet. I think the black are understated in a I-could-kick-your-butt kind of way. I appreciate that.

These are the best running shoes I have found that supports my arch and keeps my feet stable. I tend to under-pronate, so running in these are like magic! I also have shin splints, but running in these does not aggravate my shins.

I'm a nurse...on my feet for 12 plus hours a day and these are the best shoes ever for my feet. Got the wide and am so pleased with these shoes. Worth every penny! And get compliments on the colors too.

Great sneakers! Love Asics! A friend recommended the Noosa but I bought these first. I love them!! They replaced my Nike's b/c Nike just aren't what they used to be...Asics are! Inside the gel makes them super cushiony and the arch support is fantastic! They fit like a glove. I ordered my shoe size and they're perfect. I then ordered the Noosa which are a lighter sneaker and run smaller in fun vibrant colors. I had to exchange for 1/2 size bigger. But also a great sneaker with great arch support. Only don't know why the shoelaces don't stay tied.

These are great shoes. I normally wear a 7W, but after reading the reviews, I ordered size 7W and 7½W. Sure enough, the 7 ran small. I am keeping the 7½W. The size 7W was also more narrow than the 7½W. These are lovely shoes that are lightweight and secure feeling and stable on my virtually flat feet. I am replacing 7½W Nikes which are ancient and huge in comparison. Shoes in orange or pink accents would have been a nice option, but these are still vibrant and fun.

After trying several different brands, I found a good fit for my problem feet with the Asics Gel-Cumulus 16. I need plenty of cushion and toe box room. These shoes deliver. I did go up 1/2 size.

I love these shoes and the color. I plan to stock up with another pair. Right out of the box they fit perfectly. What I call the classic Asics fit. I have worn over a dozen pairs by now. I love the way it hugs my heel just right. Nothing is too loose or to tight. These are great shoes.

I've been running in Asics for years! The only thing different about these is that I had to go up half a size. They seem to run a little bit smaller than normal.

I've been a runner, on and off, for over forty years and I can easily say that these are some of the best running shoes I've ever used. As I am now a city dweller and am forced to do the majority of my running on asphalt, these shoes are perfect for hard surfaces. The provide stellar comfort, support and shock absorption. I recommend these shoes to seasoned and novice runners. Don't hesitate to buy a pair; you will so glad that you did!

I call these my unicorn shoes. Love the colors. Get lots of compliments and people asking "where did you get those?" Super comfortable. I run 5 miles a day so they get a lot of use!

I wear a 8.5 to a 9. I needed to go up a half size in these. The 9 fight length wise, but it was very tight on my foot. I got the 9.5's today and they're perfect. Like clouds on my feet.

Love my Asics Gel-Cumulus 16. They are true to size (no blisters!) and provide great cushion. I have somewhat wider feet, but no issues with the fit. Also, the color is amazing.

This pair of sneakers was perfect. The first time I used it, it felt like a pair already broken in; totally comfortable, full arch support, perfect fit. This is my first pair of Asics and I totally love it!

I purchased this shoe a 1/2 size bigger based on reviews -- bad idea! I had to exchange them for my normal size (which was super easy and arrived within 2 days). The shoe is very comfortable. I wear them for running, walking and kickboxing classes and they are great, would definitely order another pair.

These are my favorite pair of Asics I own so far - cute and comfortable. Great support for jogging and/or all day wear.

These are probably the first shoes that I have owned from Asics that required a "breaking in" period. They seem to run a bit small (just a tad for me) but have since stretched out enough for comfort. Love Asics so this was a minor glitch.

Excellent gym shoes. I've worn them a number of times and I haven't had any problems with sore feet. I have not worn them outside yet, and I don't know if I will. I might get a different pair for trail running. Great quality and run true to size.

I have narrow, flat feet, and over pronate. For years I have run in motion control running shoes designed for severe over pronators. After a bout of plantar fasciitis, my podiatrist recommended a neutral running shoe in combination with the bright pink Superfeet orthotics. She recommended the Asics-Gel Nimbus, but I found it had too much cushioning and give. I read other reviews from the Asics line and decided to try the Cumulus. It is a good, stable and very neutral running shoe. It's fairly narrow, so if you have wide feet and plan on using an orthotic you may need to try a wider running shoe, like one of the Saucony models. I have just started running again, and so far, the shoe with the orthotic seems to work for me. By the way, I always order a half size larger in running shoes than what I would wear in a casual shoe.

I tried on about 50 pairs of sneakers and this is one I kept. In fact, I like it so much, I purchased 2 pairs. I needed to get a wide in this one and 1/2 larger than normal. I like them because they fit my foot perfectly and they re flat inside. Meaning the heel doesn't rise up, so they are great for working out - doing my conditioning class, step, etc.

Love this shoe! I've been running in the Gel-Nimbus 15, but after reading the negative reviews on the Nimbus 16, I decided to give the Cumulus 16 a try. I ordered both to compare and also ordered a half size larger. I wear a 7 so went to 7 1/2 B. I have wide feet, high arch, and do not pronate. This shoe is great. Ran 4 miles right out of the box because they are so light and comfortable.

Needed to find great sneakers for our trip to Disney. After trying several different brands of sneakers, these proved to be the best fit and comfort. Highly recommend these sneakers.
