I have been wearing ASICS for years - for tennis and running. I bought these shoes a couple of months ago for running and, for the first time ever, I have a problem with the shoelaces. They continually come untied which is very annoying when running. I've tried double tying them which helps but they still occasionally come untied then as well. Very frustrating to have to stop and tie my shoes.

I waited for this shoe to come out: I love it with one exception, the shoe laces have to be knotted after tying because they come undone no matter how hard I lace them. I am curious why Asics would put cheap laces on these shoes. I get a lot of complements, mostly about the color scheme of the shoe. Still, the shoes are wayyyyy comfortable and I love walking in them!

These were super comfortable- like walking on a cloud. But, there was little to no arch support so I had to send them back. Also the sole was like 2” thick, however they are very lightweight.

I love the sneakers, they are very comfortable.
I have one complaint. I know it’s not a big deal but I always buy Ascics and never had this problem.
The shoe laces are consistently coming unlaced. It doesn’t matter how tight I make them, they always come undone. It slows me down while walking and working out.

I was hesitant to go with the redesigned Nimbus even though I've worn them for years so I figured I'd try Cumulus again (I had a couple of pairs about a decade ago). I found this Cumulus to be too rigid. So, if you're looking for a super stable shoe this might be the ticket. It did feel so nice on my foot when I slipped it on, just too stiff to run in comfortably for me.

These shoes are so light with great support. I have always been a 10 1/2 narrow in Asics. These run a little short. Next time I will get an 11.

After trying countless models of ASICS running shoes, I finally found the right one for me in the Gel-Cumulus 25. These are so comfortable and supportive straight out of the box, just the right amount of soft cushioning without being too soft. Anyone with bad knees or feet problems knows too much cushioning isn't a good thing, as it leads to some instability. My only issue (and why I marked my review down to four stars) is with the shoelaces. The slick nylon used in the shoelaces make them constantly come untied. Very frustrating and can at times be a little concerning when working out or even just walking. Please fix this issue!!! Other ASICS models have better shoelace material.

Shoe felt loose in the box toe. Material was stretchy & loose around the foot. Being new shoes I felt this would worsen overtime. Felt like I did not have stability in the box toe area

It may have been the time of day that tried on the shoes, but that particular pair seemed a little narrower than the other pair I ordered (same style & size, just diff color.

I like the cushioning but my foot doesn't strike quite right. I prefer the GT-2000 12 much better

These have taken a while to like and I may not. I needed a shoe that is for under-pronation. I believe these will work as I checked the Asics website for shoes for under-pronation. I'm glad I am able to use my insert as I have a high arch, but the toe box is really wide. My toes definitely aren't used to that and there was some pain at first. I am using these for walking but for a runner, it could really feel uncomfortable. Will I order these again? No. I'm looking for another shoe or another brand to help with under-pronation. There aren't too many out there. It would be good if Zappos could list the type of pronation as a spec of their shoes.

Order a size larger than usual! I like the look of the shoe and it seems like the padding is awesome but I can't wear them. I need a wide size and the width of these was perfect but the length was way too short. My big toe was smashed into the tip of the shoe. It was already a size 11 W so a bigger size is not an option.

I've purchased a new pair of Cumulus sneakers every year for the last ~8 years, and this is the first year I'm considering not re-purchasing next year because the quality has significantly decreased. I've run and walked normally in these shoes for about 2 weeks and the heel area inside the shoe is pilling, the side of the shoe is cut up, the bottom is significantly worn, and my feet hurt when wearing them. I've worn the Cumulus line for almost every race I've run and I've always loved the fit and style, but unfortunately next year I'll definitely think twice about buying these if the quality continues to decrease.

I've been exercising in ASICS sneakers for years and have never had any issues, but this last pair was totally uncomfortable and poorly made.

They fit well and we’re comfortable but not enough cushioning was present relative to my gel nimbus. Because I am older, these will not do and likely would allow knee and back pain.

Not a fan of the height with all the white, and also, the sizing is off. I normally can’t wear ASICS, but thought I’d try them, they have to go back.

I've loved previous versions of this shoe but not so much this one. The sizing feels different (bigger) and the foot bed is slippery- my feet sweat quite a bit in them. I greatly prefer other ASIC models.
