The Asics Gel-Cumulus 26 feels different than previous versions. I usually take a 9, but the size 9 in this shoe was too large. Way too much room left in the toe-box. I had to size down a half-size. Other than that, it's a great shoe.

I have been wearing the Cumulus style for about 7 years and this might be my least favorite. I still feel like it's a supportive shoe that helps cushion your steps, but the shape of the shoe itself has changed enough that I don't feel it's as comfortable on MY feet as the last few editions. It has a wider toe box and middle, so I feel like it doesn't "hug" my feet as much. I don't love feeling like I'm wearing a wide width shoe and that is what this feels like. I have pretty true medium feet so I don't usually have this issue.

Insufficient for overpronation, which is my problem.

I have a pair of cumulus that fits perfectly, so I wanted another pair. Unfortunately the last two pairs I ordered did not fit the same. The left shoe in particular forced my foot to push to the inside of the shoe causing my foot to pronate unnaturally.

Comfortable. Not sure if I like the new flat, stretchy tongue and the white base of the shoe is chunky and really white. It stands out and maybe not in a good way. Overall it is a comfortable shoe and the teal color is lovely but the chunkiness of the heel and whiteness of it is what keeps it from being a five star review.

Great summer weight shoe, but bordering on flimsy. I unfortunately have to return.

I love the look, the outside design and everything except the amount of cushion in the shoe. The top part of the shoe fit like a glove.
The cushion was toooo much; so much cushion that there was no support whatsoever and my feet hurt the whole time I was wearing them. Please add more support and the shoe would be perfect!

Sufficient cushioning, does not feel as well built as the Nimbus line.

I am reviewing ZAPPOs service, not the shoe itself. I ordered a WIDE width, and the box label said wide, but the shoe was NOT WIDE, it was medium width. This is the second time this has happened! Apparently they don't look inside the box to make sure they are sending the correct product. VERY FRUSTRATING!!!!

These are a good shoe, not quite as much cushioning in the sole as I would like, but still a good bargain

The Cumulus 26 are very comfortable and fit well. I love the fact they are light weight. I work in retail and stand on my feet for long hours.

I wear these sneakers around my apartment as recovery shoes. They are a bit squishy but have a nice lock down. I'm looking for an Asics model to replace my Hoka Rincon 3 for running and this was not it. It is more like the Hoka Mach 6 in its responsiveness.

I bought these in early November, have used on both treadmill and road. It was pretty happy with them, theyre comfortable and fit my orthotics, but recently I had a major trip on the treadmill, which has never happened in over 10 years of running. I think I tripped because of a major design flaw - there is so much tread on the shoe that comes up so far around the edges, particularly around the toe. Way too much tread. It is far too easy to catch your toe. I had some concerns about this, and now they have manifested... Will not run in these again. Going to look for some older generation Kayanos, which have served me well for the past 10 years (I dont care for the newer ones, which feel like running on a stack of mattresses). Hope Asics brings back running shoes that dont add 3 of foam to your height

After wearing this brand for three decades, this is the first pair of Asics that i didnt love straight out of the box. I have two primary complaints. First, they have removed much of the standard cushioning from the back of the shoe, and it cuts into my achilles tendons. Second, there is essentially no tread on this shoe at all, and I slip all over the gym floor. It feels like they’ve abandoned their tried and true design style and are trying to be a Hoka. Very disappointed with my $140 purchase.

These are the most comfortable pair of ASICS I have ever owned. I always go up a 1/2 size and they fit perfectly.

I tried these to replace my Gel Cumulus 23 that I've had for a few years and LOVED. However, the GC-26 has a neutral footbed rather than one for overpronation (as the GC-23 had) so these did not work for me. I developed burning in my feet and pain in my knees after just 20 minutes of wearing them. I had to return them. Please bring back the design of the Gel Cumulus 23 with the soft padded collar and arch support for overpronation. Also, the raised area on the back of the heel of the GC-26 makes it much harder to get your foot into the shoe and it's painful on the achilles tendon. The soft round padded collar on the former GC-23 was very comfortable and made it so easy to slide your foot into the shoe. Those were the most comfortable walking shoes I've ever owned!

I have been wearing this shoe all my life and the 25/26 are a huge disappointment. Why change from previous model? The sole of the shoe wears out so fast and the tongue of the shoe is just annoying. Looks like I will have to find another style
