Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Cumulus® 19

I've warn ASICS cumulus for almost 15 years. This pair feels a bit different. The soles feel less flexible but okay. I really do not like the new color options. I loved the recent jazzy colors, now we are back to monochrome. I wore the new shoes for about a day then took them off and wore my old ones to cheer myself up. Finally I went on line and bought some colorful laces that go with the shoes' palette. Not fabulous but much better. ASICS marketers please note-I'm wrecking the look of your brand. Perhaps if you shipped the shoes with your own alternative laces you could please color lovers like me and control your brand.

I bought these shoes in December after having bought and returned several pairs from other dealers. I have always worn a 10 B and all of a sudden that size no longer fit. After reading many reviews from others, I did as they suggested and bought a wider shoe and moved up a 1/2 size. These shoes fit fine. I do not understand why ASICS changed the lasts of these shoes. It is very frustrating to buy a very good shoe for years (at least 15) and suddenly they are too small!. Also it was very difficult to find a 10 1/2 D. I buy new running shoes every 4 months. Does the company have an answer to why the shoe size changed? I would only recommend ASICS with the reservation to check your size carefully.

I've always wear gel cumulus and I'm so comfy. But they seem to be worst and worst in the colors! Grey? Really? How can you be happy? I miss the pink, the purple, the orange, the red and all the colors that can motivate me to run!

Great shoes. Narrow/pointy toe box gives you blisters. ASICS worked respectfully to help me find a replacement.

I bought 2 pair of these ( diff colors). Nice looking and comfortable...except for the toe box. Narrow and rubs side of big toe. Will probably have to return the pair I haven't worn.

I found them to be fairly uncomfortable and offered little to no cushioning for the front half of my feet. The soles wore quicker than I expected them to.

I love the shoe! But the rubber is starting to separate from the right toe. I've worn Asics for the past 14 years, running both road and trails, and have always loved the fit, the support and stability, the cushion...everything. But my last two pairs have had the same problem with the rubber separating from the toes. I hope it's just coincidence and not a decline in quality. I'm hopeful, so I'm still going to click 'recommend.'

I really like your shoe but have been very upset that you stopped making it in a size 6.5. I am no longer able to wear Asics due to it no longer being made in a men's size 6.5 and will have to switch to Nike as they accommodate my shoe size. I would greatly appreciate it if you would reconsider making it in a mens 6.5 again. Thank you.

I bought this shoe, originally it felt good and runs well but it wears out faster then it needs to

4th pair and love them again. One problem is laces are always so long you need to buy new ones otherwise in. Size 8.5 they hit the floor when tied. Just annoying.

This is an overall good athletic shoe, however it is to snug from the ball if the foot up. To snug at the toes!

I would recommend going up 1/2 a size. Great looking sneakers.

I bought these and love the color but they are too small. I have always worn the same size in ASICS but I need at least a 1/2 size bigger in these.

I've been wearing Nimbus since -14 and they continue to be the best pair of Asics I've used. I went to the Cumulus because I like the way they looked and wanted to try something different. Sent them back because they're at least a 1/2 size too small compared to the size I wear in the Cumulus and the line across the toe box is too cramped. Wasn't impressed, returned them for the Nimbus which are perfect.

So I bought a pair of these about 2 months ago. I run for my high school track team in mid distance events (600m and 800m) I do enjoy the cushioned heels but they are a VERY heavy shoe. For when I do my longer distance days running on sidewalks they feel good but for my sprinting workouts it can definitely slow me down because of their weight and little flexibility.

Couldn't wear them too narrow returned old pair is very comfortable and I can still wear them same size

I had the cumulus 16 size 13 perfect fit so comfortable from the get-go got the cumulus 19 the toes are too narrow despite being the exact same size. I guess I'll be sending them back, I'm very disappointed... I was so happy to find my style and size online...

Every new version of cumulus i buy over the last 3-4 years is narrower than the previous one and this one is very stiff as well...whats going on ?

The rest of the shoe seems good but the toe box is too narrow, very uncomfortable. I'm returning it

Bought the pink pair about two months ago and do not like the new cut away heel. Have used Gel Cumulus for years now and always so comfortable - the new heel shape is not so good for me. Shame.

The top of toe mesh area now has a "whispy-do" pattern that puts stitching across every toe and when it comes to the wide foot folks like me that is just sandpaper. I bought a pair and tried it the hard way. Too bad my love of Cumulus ends on this edition and all because somebody need a another curvy style element.

Not like other ASICS shoe models, this model has rigid sole. I feel that it fight with my feet all the time when I run. It is okay for short distance running. The shoes create some extra fatigues for long distance run.

I've run in this shoe for years because my running coach recommended for my rolling out on the outside edge of my foot. Supination. I wrote the company twice and never got a reply either time. FIrst time i wrote to see if maybe I got a conterfit product from an online store and the fact that I was supinating. Second pair I bought direct from Asics and it was the exact show and same problem. Seems they built up the inner toe area causing me to roll out again. Looks like I'll be searching for a new shoe and a new shoe company. I've been running in Asics for 25 years. What a shame.

I went over on my ankle in July and as part of my recovery thought I'd move back to Asics from Saucony and was advised to move to Neutral versus cushioned. I feel the move is probably too much of a shift - the Asics just feel like the sole is too hard. My right knee has been killing me past couple of weeks and I sense this is down to the trainer. Back to the old Omnis and back to the drawing board.
