Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Cumulus® 21

I wish I could say I love this shoe. It's just okay. Even though I have the Runlimited Guarantee, I'll probably keep them because I can't find anything better. I loved Asics a few years ago and bought several pair in a row. I don't know why shoe companies feel they have to change a good thing! Anyway, the toe box on this shoe is big enough and the arch support is adequate, but I wish they were softer; they have a very hard feel that takes away from the comfort of the shoe.

I have been wearing Asics GEL Cumulus for years; the new 21 is perfect. I wear a 7.5 street shoe and go up to an 8 in these shoes. If your feet are the same size, you might want to go up a full size. Having one foot a 7, an 8.5 would be too large on that foot. They never need breaking in, no blisters, great out of the box. I fast walk a minimum of three miles in the morning, and the 21 feels just like the old styles when they were new. Very happy with purchase.

These aren't the magical shoes that Gel-Cumulus used to be -- however, I still do like them a lot. The toe box is slightly large for me. Good comfort and support so far!

I have a neutral foot and these arches were a touch too high causing my knees to hurt. Returned them.

I really do like these shoes. I also have a pair of the 20’s and I think these are a little more roomy in the toe box but I did have to go up a half size in these. Could use just a tiny bit more arch support but that’s me and my high arches. Love the Black Sun/Coral color. They definitely have a green cast to them and I like it. Wish there were more colors in the wide width. I have a bunion which is accommodated by the stretchy fabric. They fit my narrow heels well. These shoes are very comfortable.

These feel good and style is ok however the color was not what I expected based on the pic and description. there is good padding and I think they would work for my needs just not sure about color, The description says black and sun coral but with the mesh holes outlined in 3rd color it looks greenish/coral and black but not in a good way.

I have had these shoes for 2 months. The soles are already worn out. I walk outside a few days a week and on a treadmill when the weather is bad. I have owned ASICS for years and they last a lot longer than 2 months. They are comfortable. The quality is terrible.

I read quite a few reviews about this shoe before I purchased it. Some good, some bad but my experience is favorable. I find the shoe comfortable when I jog and it provides adequate support. I always put a new support insole in my shoe so it all works out.

Asics never disappoints! I have very wide feet and am very pleased by the fit and style.

Purchased this shoe along with another pair of Asics. Don' like the feel of either pair. For some reason they cause toe cramps and usually leg cramps that night. Not happy, returning.

I've been in GelCumulus for a very long time and it seems each new number I have to size up however, with the 21's I stayed same size as my 20's but they were at least half a size too big. I ended up returning them and bought two 20's in different colors for the price of one new 21!

I have a slightly wide foot with high arches and a neutral step. I have loved and worn Asics for years and walk between 10-20 miles per week, so I replace my shoes often. This particular pair feels stiff and has less cushioning in the footbed than all of the other Asics that I have worn. The shoe feels cheap and hard and is going back.

I really like these shoes. In comparison to other Asics I have tried, I really like the fit and the support on both sides of the shoe. I didn't feel that it had much arch support, which I can use inserts, but the overall shoe is nice.

Colors are weird but fit is sturdy with heel cushioning

The fit of these shoes was fine except THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO CUSHIONING. The shoe felt very stiff just walking in it, I can't imagine how uncomfortable they would be to run in. Being returned ASAP.

I have worn past iterations of the Cumulus, but this one felt very different with much less cushioning. After one run, I had different pains so these were returned. Thank you to Zappos for the Runlimited guarantee!

Fits like a glove, great for cross-training, easy to do cuts and direction changes. I switched over to this shoe from Mizuno Wave Riders which don't fit me anymore (10 M is too small and 10-1/2 M is too wide). This shoe is easy to lace to fit the width of your feet, has plenty of room in the toe box without being too wide or loose throughout, and has a nice, neutral footbed without too much height in the heel. The Mizumo Wave Riders have been changed to correct for pronation, but my foot actually supinates, so I need a neutral shoe. This fits the bill nicely. Other neutral shoes that I like include the Brooks Ghost, which is great for walking and running (it has a higher heel so forward momentum is good), but these work better for cross-training.

I received these an hour ago, tried them on immediately, and I love them ! I have a bunion on one foot and the othere foot is paralyzed, and these are fabulous! I will purchase another pair.

Bought wide width and it fit perfectly. Very lightweight and stylish as well. Love the color. Bought another one for my mother.

These are great shoes -- the fit and style are perfect. I was so pleased to find a wide width available.

Something about the arch was not right for my foot

The fit seemed to be right on. Similar to other Asics I have worn. They do need more arch support, which I corrected with another sole insert. While there is not as much toe room as I had in previous Asics, it is sufficient. I do love room to wiggle my toes. The cushioning is good, which is important for my back back.

This style was true to size and allowed for me to insert custom arch supports. My third try to find an ASICS style that fit well after replacing a previous pair. However, for me this is a winner.
