the design creates notable pressure on the top of the foot, beneath the laces, due to the choice of fabric and complete wrap of the foot (vs. only laces for tightening)

I liked the style and comfortable at first but by r the 2 nd wearing they caused pain. Tried to skip some days of use but with repeat use by the end of the day very painful. Do not buy if you have wider feet.

I ordered wide but the only problem is my toes don't have room in between the shoe. So that being said I will be returning them for a bigger size hopefully it will solve the problem.

I had to return them. They were much more narrow and smaller and got black and blue big toe nails on both feet. I only run in Cumulus and something was so wrong with the make of the 23 . Ouch!!!

Avoid these! I wish I had stuck to my initial reaction of them being too small and returned them for a different pair. I did go up a size! I assumed I’d break them in and they’d fit properly. They cut my circulation and my feet are constantly going numb. A very expensive mistake!

I returned these shoes because the padding around the back of the shoe is so thick it pushes the foot forward. I guess I just prefer minimal collar padding on my shoes.

I ordered the sheet rock piedmont gray color and the tongue was totally weird!! Nothing about this in the descriptions. It was built in. Super tight and uncomfortable across the top. I would have expected all the shoes with the same name to be the same. Big disappointment.

I run about 7 miles daily and so I'm constantly buying new running shoes. I will only wear asics to run in and never had a sizing issue (always been a size 7, no matter what style asics running shoe). These were WAY to small. The minute I put them on, I took them right off and returned them. I recommend sizing up if buying these.

I have given these shoes 4 wears and have not been able to get through a full workout with them. The back of the heel pinches your ankle, they are stiff and have no cushion or spring. I am a huge fan of Cumulus 21 (have owned two pairs, and 22's) extremely disappointed in this version-nothing like the previous ones.

I own 4 pair of size 8.5 ASICS and love them. But I could not get my foot into this size 8.5 shoe. Using a shoehorn I got it on then could not tie it. Maybe this size was mislabeled at factory.

This was not the standard Cumulus 23. It was some knit version with a flat tongue and upper - it had a totally different feel inside. The Cumulus has been my athlete's go-to shoe for a year now, averaging 30 miles/week. Although it said Cumulus 23 on the outside, this one didn't fit the same and caused them to stop running with angry feet and pins and needles within half a mile. We returned these and went to a local running store to get the normal model and there have been no issues.

If possible, run inside with them so that you can return them if needed. I purchased these to replace my Gel-cumulus 23 purchased in May. The new pair made it feel as though the bottom of my feet are on fire. Only difference (besides color)is that one pair was made in Indonesia and the other in Vietnam. Sad that I am unable to return them.

So narrow and tight. I am so disappointed. I have been running for over 35 years and I have never had such a poor experience with a sneaker. I had such damaged feet the first & last time I wore them that I almost couldn't make it home. I have regular if not narrow feet, and I don't know what I'm going do with the sneakers now. Completely useless to me

They just ruined a good thing, as many others have said. There isn't much cushion in the sole. I have two previous versions of the gel cumulus. The toe box on these is wider in the forefoot and also deeper, which is why I can't wear them. Maybe if you have a wide foot they would work. Returning. I can no longer find athletic shoes that fit in any brand.

I was so disappointed that they were small because every shoe I have purchased in stores of this brand an 11.5 fits well and a 12 is recommended so I went to a 12 and it was too small so it makes me question as to « are they authentic Asics or some fake crap sold at the high price to deceive customers. Now I don’t feel so confident in buying online. This was my first shoe buying experience online and now I have to return them and wait for my refund before going to a real store!

I have worn ASICS for more than 20 Years. These are horribly uncomfortable. They are narrow and the cushioning is terrible. I am returning them.

I had to return them you changed the structure of the cumulus series now they hurt my feet. It's beyond my comprehension why not just make a new named series and keep the cumulus the same
