Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Cumulus® 21

Very lightweight. Love the colours. Can wear it everyday but not for running, doesn't support my arch, I have a high arch and always get planter fasciitis when I run with trainers that do not support my arch.

Not quite as great as the old version but great ankle stability and good running shoe!

Nice shoes. I ordered 1/2 size up, as previous reviewers suggested and regret it. I wish I would have ordered my usual size. These are a bit too big, but with thicker socks they are fine.

I like the mesh upper-- very comfy. Not sure yet how I feel about the firmness of the sole though. Most importantly, I ordered a 7 wide as I have done for the Cumulus 20, Kayano 25, and every other ASICS shoe but this one runs short. I am going to exchange for a 7.5, which is strange because I have never been a 7.5 in any shoe before.

They hold nicely around the heel and arch of your foot but there's room around the toes. Cushiony and good for long distance runs.

This shoe is almost as comfortable as the Cumulus 18.

I bought this about month ago. They are awesome for a long or short run. My feet do not hurt like my other running shoes I had purchased. I have lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. I am able to run pain free.

These are okay for walk around shoes, a little too soft for a vigorous walk but overall comfortable for just walking around.

The Cumulus has been my favorite shoe for several years, so I bought the 21 thinking that would still be true. I wear orthotics, and now it seems the heal in this shoe is not as deep or something. My heal just slides around now. Very disappointed. Doesn't seem to have as much cushioning as they used to, either.

These don't feel as cushioned as my last pair. I can feel the pods rather than a smooth, cushioned feeling.

The shoes are beautiful and felt comfortable for a walking shoe or maybe a fitness shoe. I had purchased them under the "RUNNING" category and wanted a great running shoe like all my Asics in the past, but this did NOT feel like a running shoe - too stiff on the sole and not enough arch support. I returned them.

This was my first pair of Cumulus. I definitely prefer the Nimbus.

I thought in forefoot padding was very thin. Could not take my regular 4 mile walk.

The last few asics I have bought were tight so I bumped up a half size and these fit perfectly. Cumulus has always been my go to shoe but the latest version is a disappointment. They don't feel like an extra cushion shoe anymore. I'm probably going to have to buy insoles.

Fit is perfect if you go up a half size. For an extra cushion shoe, comfort is not there. Cumulus used to feel like stepping into pillows. My go to shoe isn't the same.

The shoes is stiff, less supportive. Not as comfortable as the other Asics shoes I bought from other countries.

This is probably a good shoe but I was needing a good cushion shoe... this shoe apparently has max cushion but it felt hard to me. I need a softer cushioning. This shoe is probably more for someone who is an avid runner (I'm not) and who needs this kind of cushion into for high impact. I exchanged this shoe for another that was more comfortable for me.

I have been wearing gel cumulus for about 10 years. I get a new pair every year. Starting with Gc 20, the toes were very thin and my big toes actually poked holes in both shoes. This has never happened to previous generations. I suspect the same thing will happen with these 21's. The other gripe is the the inside contrasting liner on both shoes came apart at the first shoelace holes (which I don't use) at week 2. I stick with Asics because of the fit and hope thes 21's aren't as poor made as the 20's.
