These are super cute, comfy and stylish! I wish the tongue was wider to cover up my socks. I keep having to adjust the tongue every so often.

When I ran in these for the first time they felt a little tight. However, my previous pair had zero support left and so the new ones felt tighter. After running in them a few times they are super comfortable and the support is amazing!

ADORABLE! I love the look and the feel! For a large foot, they really are cute! Unfortunately, they're too short - I'm so disappointed. And they don't come any larger yikes!

Beautiful color combo. I would prefer a more padding under the ball of my foot.

This is my 3rd pair of Asics Gel Cumulus sneakers. I have a high arch and it is hard to find sneakers that fit. The Asics Gel fit and are comfortable. Not very stylish, but I have small feet (size 5.5) , so for a "utility shoe", the look is fine.

I was looking forward to these sneakers for running and walking. They were not very comfortable and even hurt after wearing them. I've worn ASICS for years and I was disappointed in these sneakers.

Usually buy gel nimbus but thought I would try these since they are significantly cheaper. Problem is they are significantly cheaper and have some really weird design "features".
Knit uppers are awful. They constantly put pressure on my feet even when my foot is not on the ground. Also seems like keeping laces with these is just an excuse to charge customers more for less actual functionality.
Cushioning is very light especially in the fore/mid foot where I strike. It's so thin I can feel the waffling of the outsole through the cushioning.
Soles seem to be wearing more central on the foot than usual from my high arches/supination. Also fits well around my weird ankle bone placement.
I hesitate to recommend these but would definitely not unless you are a very small/lightweight neutral or high arch runner or looking for minimal cushioning (and even then I've had much better lightweight shoes than these).

The shoe is tight in the box and the laces are too short to add much extra room. More suitable for a slightly smaller foot, or order half size up.

I was hopeful that I would love the 23's as much as I love my cumulus 22's but these hurt my feet, especially the top of my feet. I have very narrow feet and these seem to run narrow even on medium. They look good, but I haven't been running In these like I hoped.

Comfortable, but They don't accommodate custom orthotics.

The Gel-Cumulus 23 women's shoes were not like my old pair. They were much tighter across the width & so much so, that I had to go back to my old pair on my treadmill. I'm disappointed in the product. I guess they had a different manufacturer for the Cumulus 23.

I overpronate so was looking for a supportive, yet comfortable shoe and I love the style of these shoes. The Cumulus 23 had both but this is my second pair of ASICS where the edge of the sole separated from the bottom of the shoe in less than a month of use. I was still able to wear them but in addition to this flaw, I find they have lost the outer support I need after just 3 months when I usually get another months use.

Just okay. Trying these again after running in Gel Nimbus for a while and these just aren't for me. They look great, though!

I love cumulus. I get them every time I buy new running shoes. But this particular style seems to have a tie box that's a little more cramped. I didn't realize it when I tried them on but then when I wore them to run and walk in, they've become fairly uncomfortable :(

Up close these shoes were kinda ugly, The color is too flat. More importantly, the comfort just wasn’t there, they were a bit narrow around the middle of the foot and two wide in the toebox.

I felt these are true to size. They do have room in the toe area. But the heel is odd with extra padding that made my foot feel like it is being pushed forward and it's uncomfortable. They didn't fit my arches bc of the heel problem. I had to return them.

I have worn ASICS for years and ordered my usual size. They seemed ok out of the box, but after wearing them a bit the toe box seems much narrower and jams my toes together. They will be ok for casual wear, but definitely not for long walks. I guess I have to find a new brand

I'm 5'6", 115# and feel that this shoe has no forefoot support at all. I've run 7 marathons along with all the required training in Asics Kayanos without ever having foot, toe or ankle issues. I now only run up to 6 miles about 4 times a week and thought I'd save some $$. Just wearing these in my home to "try them out" was making the base of my metatarsal sore. Sorry these have to be returned, but they're sure not for me.
I'd also recommend:

I returned these. It turns out I don’t like the gel style of shoe. I felt it was too cushy and to cloying. It basically felt like too much shoe. also I don’t like the slanted foot style with raised heel - my foot feels like it is sliding forward. I would have given it fewer stars but it appears well made and others might like this style

I like the fit and support. They fit perfect but rubbed below my ankle and gave ne a blister.

I love that I can easily slip these on and they stay snug in place. The size was exact for me, but I have a narrow foot. The running responsiveness is great. I felt like I could go a little faster using less energy and therefore increase my distance comfortably.
The problem was, after about 5 miles, they really begin to rub my skin in several places. It doesn't happen if I wear socks, but these seemed like the perfect no sock shoe. It really was not fun the first time I realized this, mid long run. And socks + these being so snug = hot feet. Sorry to say, but I would have gone with a different pair if I had known this in advance.
Despite that, the quality is there. I can see these lasting many many more miles! I run 40-50 miles a week on roads and gravel trails for a reference point.
