I am used to the kayano ascics. These are very uncomfortable.

I previously owned a pair of asics and i loved them. Best running shoe I've ever worn! Unbelievably comfortable and had great support for my feet. They got old and I wore holes in them so I bought these. These are terrible! No support at all and very stiff. I've ran my entire life and all of a sudden once i wear these, I now have shin splints in my left leg, very bad. I can barely walk! And I'm a 3 sport athlete. Very disappointed because Asics is a great brand that has great shoes but these just weren't one of them.

Runs small! I've worn Asics Cumulus for years. I ordered a half size larger than usual to try to accomodate some bunion pain, but these felt even smaller than my previous pair. I'll try a different size, but I may end up switching brands all together.
On a positive note, I ordered the black (w coral details) and the coral is much more neon in person, which I really liked.

The back part of the shoe bits into my ankle and are probably the most uncomfortable pair of shoes I've ever had. Would have sent them back, but the returns process says ASICS can decide not to refund the full amount if they choose. Didn't want to take the chance of not getting refunded, but maybe I can find someone they fit better.

I bought these based on reviews online. It they have not been a good shoe for me for running. My knees, ankles and shins are sore after wearing these shoes. They are hard, not soft and feel clunky almost. Disappointed because they weren't cheap.i typically like ASICS for my running gear.

These are my 8th pair of the Gel- Cumulus and they are absolutely terrible. The top of the shoe near the laces is so rigid it digs into my ankle. The tongue also has a really rigid spot where the stitching comes together and is uncomfortable. I've tried safety pinning the tongue over to the side but that only creates more of an issue with the rigid shoe. I will be looking for a new brand.

I've worn Cumulus for a long time now. Liked the gray color, so actually bought that and the black Cumulus 20 mx. The material is different. The cut is different. Felt very tight and not forgiving. Did not keep. Very disappointed. I will go back to the regular Cumulus 20.

Was looking for shoes to work in, and since these were rated 2nd to nimbus gel, I thought I'd give a try. My foot feels okay, but not enough cushion. My feet start hurting severely. I thought I needed to adjust to the stiff shoe, but was not the case. It was too late to send them back by then.

These are no where as good as previous models. They are not as cushioned and have less arch support. My plantar fasciitis is worse in the morning after a day of wearing these shoes.

These shoes continue to give me large blisters on the sides of my heels, even weeks after breaking them in. I would not recommend.

Does not compare to earlier models! I hoping after the "break in" period they would be more comfortable and provide the needed support but that has not been the case. This is the only shoe that I have ran in for years and this model it seems the gel near ball of foot is not present as it was in previous models..the shoe feels flat and stiff, especially as you add in more miles. I never get blisters and also continue to get blisters in these, regardless of what socks I use. Super disappointed and will definitely be shopping around for a different brand of shoe after purchasing about 12 pairs of the gel-cumulus shoes over the years!!

I have worn Asics on and off for years. In the recent past, about two years, the shoes have changed for the worse. They cause toe cramps, and if I have worn them during the day, I will have leg cramps that night. Just not happy with the brand anymore. Time to move along.

I usually love asics. But I've had these shoes for barely two months. Bottom of them are falling apart already. I only wear them when I'm at the gym/running.

I’m very disappointed in ASICS. The fit is not the same as it used to be. I’m never sure if the shoe will fit or not. I’m sure my foot has not changed but ASICS sizing definitely has changed.

I have to say I'm very disappointed in this shoe. The GEL Cumulus has been my go-to running shoe for a long time, but I find myself needing to find a new favorite. I bought these a half size up as I always do with running shoes. When I opened the box I thought the wrong size had been sent-I could tell by looking that they were very small. I still tried them on and on top of being small they felt stiff and just generally uncomfortable. Terrible shoe. I hope Asics is reading customer reviews and will go back to what they were previously doing!

First sneakers ever bought on line-will never do that again. Worn a few times were not comfortable. Drove for 10 hrs-they hurt when I was sitting. Took off won't put back on.

Giving up on Asics after 12 years. I hope they are listening to the public's outcry. If they ever go back to what they were they better make a major PSA because we've all given up and most likely have no plans on ever giving them another chance so we will never know. Thought I'd try these after favorite Nimbus' went downhill. These are just as bad.

Very uncomfortable, as hard as a rock on the bottom. I have 2 previous versions of this shoe, loved the 1st one I had, 2nd was ok and this one is horrible. Returning them.

Sadly, these are going back. I used to love ASICS, and only wear them, but seems like the quality has gone down. These are very narrow in the heal. I normally wear a medium or B width, these are too tight. Seems very tight all over, so I would need at least a half size up from normal. The style just seam cheaply made. I’m not buying ASICS anymore. Brooks are more comfortable.

I've been running with the Cumulus for years, using models 15-18, and I just received the 20's. I always have reordered the newest model, knowing exactly what to expect. The materials are nothing like they used to be. Similar fit but feel is completely different. While now more lightweight, it seems that the quality and integrity of the materials was sacrificed. I can no longer rely on a simple reorder of the next model with the Cumulus.
