Super cute shoe, but when compared to the Asics Gel-Nimbus 17 there is no comparison. The Nimbus are sooooo more cushioned. These were nice, but returning them and keeping the Nimbus.

First, Zappos is awesome! This shoe showed up at my house less than 24 hours after I ordered it. As for the shoe, if you just want a shoe that looks nice and is kind of comfortable, this is okay. If you actually want to run in this "running shoe," then pass. I've been running for 30 years and logged lots of miles in Asics, and even had the immediately previous two models of this shoe with no issues. But this one has a dead, flat feeling, when running in it. All of you runners know what I mean. Also, it seems small. I usually order my running shoes a half size larger than my normal shoes, but this size 6 felt like a 5 1/2. I'll have to save it for trips to the gym to lift weights, or casual wear. Why can't you shoe companies just stick to a shoe when it works!

Very comfortable. Had to go a full size up. I wear 9 1/2 narrow and went to 10 1/2.

I have wide feet especially in the toes. These shoes felt great from the first time I put them on. I am a nurse in the operating room and can wear these for hours on end without my feet hurting! The are excellent. I will buy again.

Ordered 4 pair to test them out. Asics GT-2000 and Gel-Cumulus 17 as well as Saucony Ride 8 and Omni Grid. The Omni was by far the stiffest and heaviest of the 4 I ordered. I wear super narrow size 12 womens. Ended up keeping this pair - definitely the most comfortable.

Bought these shoes in the cobalt blue color. Fit perfectly (12B) and very comfy. Have put several miles on them and love them. So wanted same shoe, just different color....just got them in this color (black with blue pink) and they are too small...exact same style just different color and there is about 1/4 inch difference in length! Asics has some quality control problems in their manufacturing.

Very comfortable shoe! I usually wear Brooks Adrenaline line, but this year I bought two pairs of shoes so I could rotate them between work and jogging, and the Asics Cumulus joined the lineup. I always buy Superfeet inserts for my high arches, but before those came, these shoes were comfortable even without them. I always buy a half size larger than I need and a wide width, and this formula worked again for these. I am also an underpronator, and jogging in these has been great. I also like that the price is quite a bit better than the Adrenaline line!

As soon as I put these shoes on and tied them up I started doing a happy dance! They make my feet feel so good! They provide so much support and yet it's like I am walking on air. The sole grips the floor so I am not sliding at the gym while doing squats. I literally want to wear them all the time! I honestly love them! Best tennis shoe purchase ever!

I have been a long-time Asics fan, but always want to try other brands for fit, cush, support, etc. Zappos is so wonderful letting us undeciders order six pairs to try at once! I tried two Sauconys and three other Asics. These shoes felt the highest quality on my feet, even above a more expensive Saucony! They have a great footbed with lots between your foot and the road. The heel to arch to toe fit is like custom and very natural. The stride is natural, feeling not too stiff or too cheap/thin, either. The laces are nice and long, and stay tight! I am a size 7, but always need a 7½ in running shoes, like these. Nice snug arch, and in the wide there is lots of toe room.

I love these shoes! I feel very stable in them and they fit true to size for me. I can sometimes wear a 7½, but almost always an 8. I got the 8 and that fits like a glove. I love the gel cushion, too.

I love these shoes; they fit my narrow foot perfectly. I normally wear a 7 1/2 N and got 8 N in these. Love the bright aqua color, although the neon yellow laces are taking some getting used to.

I ordered these shoes in a different color originally. I exchanged for another color. For some reason, this 10½ feels like a 10. I will try a wide 10½ now.

Great shoe, needs a little breaking in, but feel it's going to be fine. Love the color and the added gel padding. Tried the Nimbus, which is supposed to have even more gel, but this one fit better.

This Gel-Cummulus 17 felt pretty good on my feet, loved the padded insole. It hit me oddly, though, on the outside of my foot just below the ankle bone. Returning for a different shoe.

I have worn Asics for years but I do not know why Asics changed their size. Even after going up a half size and to a W width, these are still not roomy enough in the toe box and my big toe is nearly at the end of the shoe. I am very disappointed. I am returning yet another pair.

This shoe was uncomfortable. I've been wearing Asics for years, and these were a disappointment. I returned them and ordered the Gel-Nimbus 17. They are wonderful. The arches and souls are supportive, but so comfortable. (Well worth the extra cost.) I have to buy all Asics shoes a half size larger than before.

I wanted to love these but I am so disappointed in the fit! They really rubbed around my ankle the wrong way just walking around the house before I even wore them out! I am returning them.

I love these shoes or want to, but they went all narrow, even the D. What is up? Asics needs to fix this. Otherwise I used to love their shoes but I can't seem to wear them though I keep trying. I will have to return, comfort and support too important.

These are my first pair of ASICS and I LOVE them! I needed to replace my Nike running shoes and decided to try for something with more arch support that would be more comfortable for my fitness classes (TRX, circuit training, misc high intensity stuff). These shoes work great for every type of class or for just lifting or using machines at the gym. I'm already trying to justify buying a second pair so I can keep one at the office and one at home.

I'm a walker not a runner but I couldn't find any shoes that fit that description. Anyway I researched and read reviews of running shoes. These fit the bill. Very sturdy and cushiony. Would recommend for walkers as well as runners. Love Zappos return policy and knew if they didn't work I could send back at no charge. Great company! Oh, and I did order 2 size up as recommended by other reviewers.
