Great quality shoe, but the cushion was very hard. My feet went numb within five minutes of walking around the house if you are looking for support, these are your shoe. If you're wanting them to be comfortable and saw the "gel" thinking it meant comfort, it might not be.

Ok so far although I haven't noticed as huge a difference between these and my old trainers as I was hoping given the other reviews

This is a well made and good looking shoe, but as for performance and comfort, I really can't judge it. I have a severe case of plantar fasciitis and was hoping that this shoe would offer some relief in my everyday activities. I've tried many brands hoping they would work. This one is just another sneaker that will sit in my closet until I can fix my problem. I can only tolerate wearing them for about 2 hours max.

The shoes are comfortable for the most part, and provide good sole support. However, the tongue of the shoe is overly padded and makes the shoe fit smaller than expected. I can't seem to get the shoe tied tight enough without the tongue suffocating the top of my foot.

The shoes look and feel great, but after wearing them for two runs, I have come down with a severe case of shin splints. Not sure if that's related to the shoes, since I didn't have this ailment until after using the shoes, I feel compelled to wonder. I'm unable to run again until my shins improve and I'm weary of wearing the shoes for running.

So im s review reader... & after reading over & over that these shoes run short in length I ordered a 8.5. Which were great for the first 2 weeks but the more I walked in them the more they stretched & now are too big. Since they have stretched i am now getting blisters. Very disappointed. Also I walk/jog from 7-10 miles a day. I've been wearing them for almost 2 months now & the soles are starting to lose tread.

I just received these shoes and they do not look at all like they do online! I would post a picture if I could. Buy your shoes in person to get an actual look at the shoe bc online is deceptive.

They seem to have lost quality. I have had two pair of these before and I don't think the integrity has sustained.

While these are nice looking shoes, they are not wide! Had to return them. For anyone shopping online who has a wide foot, these probably will not work for you.

I have very high arches - these didn't have enough arch support for me. I returned.

Was not thrilled with these. Sent them back. They are too stiff for my liking for running and walking. I had a pair of ASICS about 3 years ago that were great. These unfortunately did not make the cut.

I was hopeful reading previous reviews for this style. When trying them on, the soles were hard and unforgiving so that my feet were aching before I started walking around. I've loved past sneakers I've had by ASICS, so I'll be sending these back to try a different style!

The 'neck' around the ankle is too thick thus creating a heat trap. The sole is awkwardly high.

The toebox is a little wide and the cushioning isn't as good as my last pair of gel cumulus shoes. A little disappointed, but still wearing daily for my workouts.

I love the design of the shoe. It fits very well, but I do not feel it has as much support in the arch and heel area as advertised. I bought new insoles and am much happier with the shoes.

They are comfortable but a little too bulky. Too much padding around the back of the ankle and tongue is too thick. They weigh too much too.

Shoes are big, clunky, heavy. These are my first pair of Aasics. I'm used to running in Nike's. Felt comfortable when I first put shoes on, but use them for walking only now.

After trying them on the heel of the shoe FOLDED inwards. I guess it was defective but I was really sad because these shoes are STUNNING (even though they look more lilac than what I thought was supposed to be a rose gold/pink in person). I'm getting my shoes replaced and hopefully they don't have the same issue.

The shoes are very supportive and I love the padded heel. I ordered a wide because I typically need the extra space in the toe box, but they actually are too wide causing my foot to slip in the heel. In all creating my toes to over compensate creating a very uncomfortable long walk. Not sure if I'll be able to wear them sadly. Can't return. Buy true to size.

I like the look, but I really need a13W, but I've worn them and can't return. I'm very disappointed that you're eliminating 13W for women. ASICS have always been the best sneaker for me and men's colors are not what I'd like. I've also been told in the past that men's shoes are different than women's, so there you go.

I have been wearing ASICS GEL-CUMULUS for many years. I use them for walking daily. The GEL-CUMULUS 21 are ok but sort of stiff. Also I do not think they are as cushiony & as stable as the 19's which were my favorite (but of course I cannot find my size anywhere now). The 21s are better than the 20s (which I received an injury in the ball of my foot after wearing them twice!). ASICS please bring back the 19s!

The shoes are comfy however I still feel some pain on my outer toe and at the top of my feet. I think I need a shoe that is a little wider.

They are a small size it, buy a sized bigger. They felt flimsy in comparison to Keyanos.
