Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Cumulus 23

They seem like a solid shoe, I like the look, but the fit and the comfort just aren't there.

I should have stuck with the Nimbus shoes. These are decent shoes for my running routine, but the heel of my foot is not comfortable in these. My heel seems to be pushed to the inside edge of the shoe. Comfort level is great for running and walking. Recommend if you are on a budget.

Shoes I feel are getting cheaper and cheaper quality. My older ASICS are better. Go through many pairs. Feels like cardboard almost with no soft cushioning around top and side foot areas. Also why are the shoe laces so short and made of cheaper quality compared to just a year or two ago

The jury is still out on these new shoes. I had a horrible experience with the standard GEL-CUMULUS 23 shoe I had prior to these. They literally started pulling apart for no apparent reason. They were by far the worst performing athletic shoes I've ever owned from the standpoint of low quality materials and build. The jury is still out on the MK version of the shoe, pictured here, that I was sent to replace my previous shoes under the ASICS warrantee.

There was dried glue visible along both back heels. It was white and flaking off the rubber. Not the quality I was expecting from Asics.

Runs small, toe hits the front which is painful while running

While all the Asic running shoes seem similar, the Wide 12E model is narrower than my previous GT 1000, so it is less comfortable, and needs some stretching. Unlike the GT 1000, the heel fabrication somehow tends my produce fatigue in my left ankle.

These shoes apparently run small. I'm used to wide shoes for my day to day wearing and tighter shoes for running. When these arrived, I thought they were just tight, but after a few runs I realized they really were too small. I should have worn them inside more before I ran, but foolishly thought that size 9 would be equal throughout ASICS brands.

Not as comfortable as previous model. Prefer cumulus 21.

The 22 fit perfect, the 23 had excess material in the arch area was not contour to the shape of my foot like the 22 and the upper was not as good as the 22

Lump/bubble in middle of the sole. But this is the first time in 20 years that I experienced with a Gel Cumulus.

Have been ok with the sock-liner varients in the past, but don't care for the material or form in this version.

The sole of this shoe is already peeling apart after only wearing it for a few indoor treadmill runs. I've been buying Cumulus shoes for almost 10 years now and this is the first time I've had this issue. I hope this is an anomaly as I typically really like Asics.

Solid shoes. Only issue is outside foot support feels inconsistent.

This is my 10th pair of asics sneakers of various models. The quality of 23 went down tremendously to compare to 22 that i still wear. The size of the toe box is very large. The whole shape of the shoe has been changed. The stability is poor. The quality of the sole materials is unacceptable. Feels like a cheap fake. But still better than competitors. I have to add that nimbus 23 and 24 are also bad. I am very sorry to write this ki d of the review, but this is the fact.

first time buying ASICS on line; have bought them for years in stores. they look great but unfortunately the loop on the tongue that holds the laces came off the first time i wore them. if i had bought them in a store i would have taken them back right away. as i bought them on line, i did want to go through the hassle of returning them in the mail. quality control missed the poor stitching on the loop!

This is the second pair of these I've owned. First pair was great except the sole started separating from the foam after a few months. Also the upper adjacent to the medial 1st MTP joint area started to tear open on both shoes. I ordered another pair, wore them for casual wear 2 or 3 times to help break them in, and after the first run of 3 miles, the sole separated from the foam. It was almost the entire forefoot. I guess I'll try to superglue it bc whatever adhesive the factory uses doesn't seem to be very good. I hope the durability improves without sacrificing comfort and fit. These are some of the most comfortable best fitting running shoes I've ever owned.

The shoes stretch out quickly. The old design had a leather strip outlined the toe area that kept the shoes shape. I bought this shoe again because of my wide feet but it doesn't last long till it looses its shape and have to replace

Big change in width (narrower) and comfort (tighter)
