Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Cumulus® 21

These are spot on for neutral support, style & immediate comfort. Chose Sheet Rock/Peacoat and colors are thankfully subtle. I have always bought up a full size (wear a 9 and bought a 10) and they fit perfectly - very happy overall :-)

Fit is comparable to my Gel Cumulus 19s and comfort is the same. Highly recommend these running shoes for anyone with high arches.

I really love these shoes! They are very comfortable and I can wear them all day long!!!

Ran a little small but felt very comfortable otherwise. I ordered the same size as my other pairs of Asics.

I was thrilled to find that Zappos carries this shoe in a wide width -- and in my color choice! These shoes are so cute and so very comfortable. I love them!

Thought the shoe was terrific but just slightly too short on my right foot. Also, shoelaces seemed very short. Beautifully designed for show.

I really like ASICS the best for running, I’ve had several pairs. Usually an 8.5 fits great, this shoe felt a bit smaller on my big toes. I’m going to keep them in hopes that they will stretch a bit. Must be the rounded toe.

This is my first pair of Asics and I am very happy with them. A couple of months ago I developed plantar fasciitis in my left foot making the heel very painful when walking 18 holes of golf several times a week. With these shoes I'm happy to say that the pain is nearly non-existant, the cushioning is terrific. I have since ordered a second pair.

I normally wear a Big Kids 3 but couldn't find a good athletic shoe in this size (although I also ordered an Asics Big Kid 3 to 'try it'.) Big Kid 3 and Women's 5 are the same size length-wise but the width and height of the shoes are very different. Another difference in Big Kid and Women's is the laces. The Big Kid shoe has elastic laces with a Velcro strap that can't be tightened of loosened. I prefer the laces on the Women's shoe so I can adjust the shoe to a more custom fit across the top of my foot. This shoe is more expensive than I prefer but it's a well made shoe and I like the overall foot support. I am a walker, not a runner. I think i found a new favorite.

This is fifth pair of Asics. They have changed just slightly. But... The fit was good based on your recommendation. Worn them several time when had to be on my feet and felt comfortable. Adequate arch support

Heel cushioning energizingly rebounds

Jury is still out, really, but I'm getting bugged for a review. Keeping in mind that I wear orthotics, they feel comfortable enough and they're certainly an improvement over the 3-year-old (possibly older) sneakers they will probably be replacing. I'm not sure the toe box is quite large enough for me and I could really use another quarter-size up, but that's not feasible. I haven't gone on any terribly long walks yet, maybe a mile or so. But I like them so far.

Really cute shoes but they feel like you are tilting forward all the time. OK if all you do is run in them but not great for everyday wear or any other kind of workout.

These shoes run really short. I bought a 10 but it seems they are at least a half size too small Will have to try a 10.5. Hope that works as they seem to be comfortable.

This shoe was recommended by my physical therapist, but I found the insoles to be too firm for my feet. I wear tennis shoes almost everywhere, even with my dress pants, and these look better than some others so I rated the style 5 stars. Bummed they don't have a little softer insole. Returning them for a different style.

these fit well and were of typical Asics quality. Ultimately I found the color combo too subdued for my taste -- their other designs have much more pop -- and then the big issue that spurred my return was that this shoe made my knees hurt...

The shoes look great and fit fairly well. Zappo's has been great helping me find shoes that work for my feet after a small surgery. However, count on buying some padded socks as the soles lack cushioning.

I've worn ASICS for years and have loved them but these gots to go. I ordered the wide width but they uppers are so tight that it looks like my foot is going to Hulk out of it and, even when I loosen the laces, my feet are uncomfortable and crampy across the arches. My feet are wide but I rarely order a wide - just so you know I'm not a Hobbit complaining about human shoes.

These shoes were hard as a rock. No shock absorption. I do not know what happened to Asics but they do not seem to be my go-to running shoes anymore. bummer

I have an older pair of Ascis Gel Cumulus that I've been happy with. But the 21 seemed to have no cushioning in the front of the shoe, and I had to return.

Asic used to make a great product, but I would agree with the other reviewers that this is not the case. I have worn previous versions of the GEL-Cumulus on the recommendation of my physical therapist. The first pair I bought was in 2012. And they carried a N width. First time I ever had athletic shoes that fit. Now, however, they don't make a narrow. There is plenty of heel cushion for me, but very little in the ball of the foot. It's like walking on a rock. I won't be purchasing this brand again, which leaves me without options, because none of the other shoes in a N width fit. You may like these if you haven't tried the earlier incarnations. But they are really stiff throughout, and without padding in the toe box.

Fit amazing, work wonderfully for my terrible feet, orthotic friendly.
