Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Cumulus® 20

Not great for long periods of time if you're flat-footed. Kayano's much better in that department. Still a good shoe though; glad I got it on clearance.

my third pair of Gels...all 10 size....but this one is a little bit thighter.....a bit disappointed

Long time Asics fan. Expected more from these shoes. Wore out fast.

The shoes does not fit so well, very loose in front area. But is my case, shoes design and color are very nice. I returned it.

I recently purchased the Gel Fortitude by Asics and loved them. This sneaker seems cheaply made. Also, the color looked red and is listed as red in the photos. They definitely look more orange upon receipt.

Fine and comfortable shoes when at rest but seems shoes seem to be tighter than my previous pair and pain with my long runs in my feet and so I am not going to use them for my Marathon this Saturday which is the reason I bought these in the first place, not sure why they are different, my R foot slaps on the ground when running and just feel different.

Did not fit well! Not true to size! A bit narrow!!

Long time Asics user until a few years ago when I ventured into a few pairs of Brooks and Hokas. I decided to go back to my old faithful Asics and boy do I remember why I left in the first place. This shoe has astonishingly low energy return and responsiveness and it is certainly not as soft of a ride as my old Asics (Kayanos, Nimbus, Cumulus). There are a few quality inconsistencies as well. The seam on the left shoe connecting the inner heel cup to the sole is way to narrow this I am standing on it, while the tongue on the right shoe is stitched in at a weird angle thus it doubles up creating unnecessary pressure. The shoe is stable and the durability seems to be solid, but it's just that, the shoe feels too solid to the point where it is clumsy, stiff, hard and loud. Perhaps I received a lemon giving the LE color a try...but I am not pleased and recognized again what caused my allegiance to stray before.

I started walking and jogging with Cumulus 5 years ago. I'm 6'2" and weigh about 200 pounds. Usually the shoes last a year. The Cumulus 20 lasted less than 6 months. I liked the light weight of the shoe but it was not worth the lost of cushion, structural support and durability. Smaller runners will probably not experience these issues.

Bought two pairs, and both wore a hole from my toe, I will not buy another pair of these brand

I had been running on Cumulus since the 12, but this version is simply the worst. I do 5ks everyday, at about 5min/mile, have a neutral step and land on my heel. This shoe is well below expectations. There's simply too much movement inside the shoe, as it offers no stability at all. The sole is quite gone after 15 miles (five runs!). The shoe offers a lot of cushioning, bu it deforms too much when the heel hits the ground.

Two days ago this shoe would have been 5 stars! Three previous pairs have been very comfortable for at least 350 miles before they were worn out. Unfortunately I can't post photos here to show where the foam in the sole of the left shoe split at the inside of the rear heel pad. The rear heel pad is pulling away from the sole of the shoe and the foam has 3/4" tear in it. This happened after only 80 miles and I am not a heel striker. This is my (3rd) pair of Cumulus 20's this year along with (2) Gel-Nimbus 21 and (2) pair Gel Venture 6. In addition, I just bought myself (3) more pairs of the GEL-Cumulus 20 for my Christmas present to myself. I am seriously considering eating the cost of the return shipping and sending these (3) new pairs back because of this issue. I have been faithful to the Asics brand since I bought my first pair as an 11 year-old in 1973 when they were known as ONITSUKA TIGER. Hopefully this is an isolated incident but it really sucks when you are on a budget.

Bought these in a standard width but they are anything but standard. Too narrow and nowhere near the standard width of all my other Asics shoes. If you have a really narrow foot, these might work but standard width is really a narrow width in this shoe. Really unfortunate as I was looking forward to using these but cannot do so since they are way too tight.
