I LOVE THESE SHOES! They are so comfortable and the colors are fun too. A half size up fit me perfectly.

I love these shoes! They are so comfortable! I ordered half a size bigger because they run a little small.

I'm completely in love. The colors are obnoxious and amazing. The shoe itself is great for runners who have a neutral step and a high arch. I've been buying the cumulus since 7th grade (now a senior in college) and have loved them through many years of track and cross country.

I needed a good walking shoe for my daily 3 mile walk and this works. Very cushiony with good support. Comfortable shoe.
Fits my narrow foot.

I am not a runner - I am an 'office' nurse and spend half my time walking/standing to talk with patients and the other half is spent at a desk. Every year or so I invest in a new pair of ASICS and get the better models like the Cumulus. I am always happy - even now that I've got bunions (sadly at age 35!). These shoes offer more cushion in the front of the foot than other brands I've tried, so I keep going back. Good arch support, too. I wear a 7.5 in regular shoes and always get an 8 in running shoes.

Very comfortable! Everyone loves the bright colors. I switched from the GT 1000 2 and these are about the same weight but much more padding.

As always, these arrived within a day of ordering - thank you Zappos. I have been running barefoot on the beach for the past few months, but picked up road work again (light, only 3-4 miles a few days a week), but my inov-8s were just killing my feet and ankles. I ordered these shoes then had a moment of weakness and bought a slightly less expensive pair of Nike's at a store in my town. Needless to say, I'm taking the Nikes back tomorrow. These Asics are amazing and I'm ordering another pair asap. They're a bit pricey, but you honestly get what you pay for and your body will thank you for it. Just got in from a 2 mile walk with the dog and a 4 mile run - they were great. I can wear 8.5/9 - ordered a 9 medium width and they fit perfectly. Definitely give it a go if you're on the fence about these.

No bueno for me. Not saying it's a 'bad shoe' just that it is not good on my feet. They felt good on my feet to start and within a couple of workouts they already had too much slop to be considered good support.

Ordered these to replace Gel-Cumulus 14's which I already knew to be a good fit for my narrow, higher-arch feet (ordered AA). Wear them daily for long walks. The new 16's were perfect. Quick turnaround order, too.

I love these sneakers. These felt great right away and I don't even notice them when I'm wearing them. I'm a beginner runner and this brand and shoe type was recommended to me by experienced runners. As soon as they wear out I am going to buy another pair. It is also a bonus that they come in plain black.

I have purchased this brand & style for about 3 yrs and the store didn't always have my size nor did I like the colors available. Zappos had my size and color, sent it fast, and it fit perfectly out of the box. This shoe is very cushy, comfortable, and prevents my plantar fasciitis from bothering me.

My podiatrist recommended this running shoe as I was recovering from an ankle/foot injury. They really helped my stability. They ran about a half size smaller than my regular shoes,so I exchanged them which could not have been easier.

I've always had good luck with Asics, and this one of their best -- one of the most comfortable shoes ever. And it's in black so I can get away with wearing this with nicer pants. Perfect fit with good arch support and cushioning. Am thinking of buying another pair to have on hand when this one wears out.

I have run most of my life and never worn Asics. With foot problems for the last five years and trying shoe after shoe, I finally found one that feels good! I used to wear Ecco's for plantar fasciitis but they stopped making the style. Thank you Asics. Don't change this one up on me!

I like these shoes a lot. I walk 3-4 miles a day about 3-4 times a week, and I wear orthotics. It is wonderful to be able to get a narrow width in this type of shoe. I only wish I had been able to get this in black in my size because black is a bit more versatile. I guess I either missed the window when it was available or it never was available in my size. It is very difficult finding something narrow enough, and this fit the bill.

Because I'm having pain in my feet I went to find a comfortable shoe. The salesperson brought out about 5 brands for selection. I tried these on first and went "Ahhhhh, I'll take these!" The width is good as I did not have any "break-in new shoes blisters" because of my bunions. They are soft and comfortable when walking. Love them! Wish they made hiking boots and flip-flops this comfortable!

I wear a size 9 normally, but it was too small in the Gel-Cumulus 16 model. I re-ordered 1/2 size larger (9 1/2) and it was perfect! Suggest going 1/2 size up!

Love my Asics! So comfortable and supportive in all the right places. I usually wear an 11M but I ordered a 11.5 M and they are the perfect fit. I love that they are black.

These seem extra light and not wide even though I ordered a wide. The Saucony B width is wider than these D width. And the shoelaces are super short! Maybe it's because they weren't wide enough, so the laces had to stretch farther across my feet with each crisscross?

Probably the best pair of sneakers I've ever owned. I bought them for exercising, but I'm considering buying another pair for my everyday use. I usually have to go a few weeks of suffering through blisters, or experiencing pins and needles sensations after finishing running when getting running shoes, even after getting fitted. These were perfect right out of the box, even in comparing to my previous favorite, broken in pair. I've been told I over pronate, but I've never felt so sturdy in a pair of shoes.

Overall really nice shoe, I'm usually an 8 or sometimes 8.5 and some reviews said to size up so I got the 8.5 to be safe and turns out they are too big and not the most effective during my workouts because I slide around too much. Will get an 8 next time.

First shoes in a while that I haven't had to have an arch support insert with. All my prior shoes have been Newtons so I feel a bit heel heavy in these. They feel heavy to me overall but do well. I run a variety of sprints, intervals, long and easy jogs to 6 mile trail runs.

The Asics Gel Cumulus 16 was a very good shoe for the price. It was recommended I go up a 1/2 size and I'm glad I did. I still find the toe box much more snug than other brands. My toes like to "hug" each other so I prefer a wider toe box. Otherwise very comfortable shoe and great support for a slightly high arch.

I love these shoes! Such a relief after having a pair that lost arch support almost immediately. While they did feel half a size too big, and took a little bit of breaking in to do, these are very comfortable for running on cement or trail. I put on 20-30 miles a week very comfortably.

Love these shoes! My feet tend to over pronate and ache if I am on my feet for a long time. These shoes helped with my arthritis pain. Please make a sneaker with more arch support.
