First time wearing Asics and this Cumulus 27 is the most comfortable shoe I’ve ever put on. Perfect cushioning for running without my foot feeling like it’s stepping on mush but also very stable when I’m exercising. I purchased the white and love the style of the shoe. If I didn’t already have so many shoes I would get another color.
3 stars only on 5 the new Cumulus 27s. I'm not a fan of the new design. While they are much lighter weight wise, they seem cheaply constructed. The quality isn't there as in previous versions. Additionally,the tongue is not padded now which is uncomfortable at the least and down right aggravating and irritating to my ankles. I usually adore more Asics Gel Cumulus shoes, having multiple pairs in various colors, but this version is a strong fail for me.
I'm not a runner, but I run up and down the hallways on a busy hospital floor and this is great addition to my work shoe collection. It's very cushioned, comfortable right out of the box, and a cute color - I got the orchid pink. I typically wear a 10.5 in Asics and this shoe is just a bit longer than my other Asics in the same size, but I know that the 10 would be too snug. Overall, I'm pleased with this shoe.
I have worn the Asics Gel Cumulus for years and have always been so pleased. However, this purchase, not so much. You have changed the style of the shoe, the tongue is a thin, floppy material whereas it was padded in the past. The shoe style looks big and clunky. It is hard to get on, but once on, is very comfortable. Why change a great product? Not sure I will buy again.
I bought these 3 months ago and only walk my dog and walk on the treadmill in them. The soles are horrible. No traction and look like a used eraser on the bottoms. I should have read other reviews that said similar things, but I didn’t. Now I’m replacing them after 3 months. 0/10 recommend these shoes.
This is my 3rd pair of Cumulus. This version is much stiffer than prior versions. They feel less cushiony and also have a large toe box. I will probably keep them and use mostly on treadmill. Unless they break in quickly, I will likely switch to a more cushiony Asics shoe.
I had a hip replacement so bought all new sneakers. This Gel-Cumulus 27 is absolutely unbelievable. Most comfortable & supportive running shoe beyond what I imagined. It's been very easy re-establishing my gait and stride. Fit is true to size & stability gets an A+.
Cumulus wearer for many years. These are the cheapest I've ever seen. No hard rubber on the soles, so who knows how they'll wear. The tongue is ridiculously thin, can feel the laces way to much when shoes are tight. I will probably be looking elsewhere now.
I’ve been wearing gel cumulus for several years now but I’m not as crazy about this pair. The tongue is very thin and not the way it has been on other pairs I’ve had. Overall the shoes are just OK and I think I may try something different next time.
Toe box narrower than previous models. I have worn this style shoe for years, ordered without trying on because I knew it would fit. That is no longer the case. The toe box is so much more narrow that is pushed my pinky toe into my fourth toe.
