Usually I wear a 9.5 wide in my shoes, but definitely had to size up .5 in these as my pinky toes were being pinched. The cushioning on these sneakers is really strange. No doubt it's plush, but it feels super concentrated in the ball of the foot - almost like there's an air pocket there. I'd rather have a more uniform feeling sneaker so I'm going to keep looking. Style wise these are really cute.

The sizing seems to have changed on these. They are wider and felt uncomfortably big in comparison to previous cumulus shoes I've worn. The cushioning is great.

I have only worn Cumulus for years. This new design is soft, lightweight and super absorbent. I love them.

This particular pair is fabulous. Comfort, style, and color is just wonderful. The light gray sneaker with a hint of lavender is just stunning. As a whole, Asics is my go to brand. I cannot ask for more.
I'd also recommend:
Asics is my go to brand but I have been known to purchase New Balance.

Based on reviews I was ready to love these and specifically ordered Wide width. Normally I'm medium. The front top of the shoe "curves" into the big toe on both shoes, pushing the big toe into other toes. Not good. Also, the back outer leather is pretty high, cutting into the ankle. Disappointed.

I bought these shoes on June 2, 2024 from a local running store. I tried on over 10 pairs, had my feet analyzed on a computer and these seemed to be a good fit. I am an active person but I do not run/jog. I wear these shoes for strength training, youtube workouts, walking and daily living. I noticed the first few times walking that I seemed to have some friction with them that made the ball of my foot ache a little. I thought I just needed to get used to them. Also note that I have CureEx High Arch Support inserts.
Fast forward and today is August 31, 2024. I have had these shoes just under 3 months and I am surprised and disappointed by the amount of wear on the soles of them already! For $140 I had the assumption that these were better quality and that they would have been able to withstand my active lifestyle. Before I bought these, I had a pair of Brooks Glycerin GTS20s that withstood A YEAR of my daily life. I was very happy with those shoes but I like to try different options because sometimes you never know if there is something you like even more.
Ive had Asics shoes before but never experienced this amount of wear in such a short amount of time. I wish I would have taken them back before the 60 days return policy with my local running store but I decided to keep trying to get used to them. And now with how quickly these are wearing out, I will have to budget to buy a new pair of shoes probably within the next 1-2 months. They will not be Asics.

I love these shoes. They have a lot of cushioning and the mesh top part is breathable. I have a wider foot and it feels spacious. I'll definitely buy these again.

I’m a runner and have ordered ASICS through Zappos for many years. I ordered these shoes for a race and they are uncomfortable, especially in the toe bed. After the run, my feet throbbed and my left toe was painful and swollen. I’ve never experienced this with ASICS before. Because they were worn in the race, Zappos refused to accept a return or offer a credit. My history with Zappos and ASICS means nothing, apparently. Very frustrated.

I have been buying gel cumulus for many years now and this is the worst pair. I was initially excited about the aesthetics looking like older models (more simple, less spacey) but putting them on is a whole different story. As other reviews have mentioned, the cushioning on top foot is minimal so it feels very thin. In additional the heel comes up too high. And the shoe itself just feels bigger so if I tie it tightly I just get numb. The most annoying thing now is they must have changed the soles somehow because I now get shocked when using the treadmill and I never used to be before. Do not recommend.

Asics fit me best, but this version has no arch support, so I will return them. Will continue to search as whenever they make a change to a shoe, it is not the same fit.

Shoe is cushiony, easy to walk in and looks good but there’s not a lot of support for the inside arch of the foot. My feet get tired very quickly. The back of the heel is too high and presses into the back of your ankle if you have to kneel down. Bought them to replace my gel-cumulus 24 and am disappointed. These are not the successor to that shoe.

Toes Tickled! I am so pleased with ALL my ASICS purchases. Gel Cumulus 26 is no exception. My go-to for comfort shoes. I work on concrete floors every day and these help me get through, I have found colors to coordinate my work outfits with too!

I bought these a few months ago, and I love these shoes. I have been wearing Asics for several years, but these shoes are for walking or running distances. These shoes keeps your body balanced, as I have a tendency to put my weight on the front of my feet by keeping my weight on my heels when I am walking. There is no longer a strain on my back when I walk

Fit is perfect for me. But consider that I wear a women's 4.5 in most shoes and have been wearing a Brooks Glycerin 5.5 in a sneaker. I am not a runner but am trying the Cumulus due to knee issues and these, like the Brooks Glycerin advertise as great cushioning and shock absorption.
I'd also recommend:
Brooks

I tried on Brooks, OC and the ASICS 26. Absolutely no comparison!! The ASICS feel like Im wearing a sock (with complete support) and walking on clouds! Highly recommend. Fits true to size and I have a high instep.

I like them, but I miss the little loop on the heel. I like the loop on the Gel-Cumulus 25, because if I am stiff, I can use that loop to help me pull my leg back for stretching before and after I run.
