Women's ASICS GEL-Cumulus 11

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Cumulus 11 Running Shoe:

I have always been an Asiscs Gel fan. Running in all types of weather. Hot, wet and cold down to ten degrees with feet comfortably warm even with very light socks. After 300 miles I decided to retire these shoes. I can usually get around 400 on most Asiscs gels but after switching from running to interval training alternately power walking under a 13 min mile for a few minutes then sprinting hard for a few, I noticed a curious wear pattern at about 250 miles that has been mentioned in other reviews. Since I am an underpronator (run on the out sides of my feet) with very high arches, I was expecting the usual heel and outer sole wear. Instead, the heel and outer edge of the sole ramained intact but there was quite a degree of degradation on the ball of the foot. It is the first time I have seen this in all my years of jogging. Soon after this, I began to really feel the road and the discomfort caused me to retire these shoes earlier than I was expecting. The heel strike remained cushy but the warning knee strain caused me to try the Nike Vomero 4s next. Still this is a very good shoe. I think I would like a little more cushion on the forefoot. Next time I will remove the light foam shoe insert and try a pair of sorbothane inserts to up the mileage a bit. It will be interesting to see what the same training pattern affects the Nike shoe.
Oh yes, I am including sorbathane inserts to my shoe experiments from now on.

I have owned 4 pairs of Cumulus, including the 9s and the 10s. The 11s are awful. I agree with Heather. The toe box is extremely too narrow. I wear a 6 1/2 shoe and always order a 7 1/2 running shoe. These were extremely tight just trying them on. I ran two 5-mile runs in these and each time my toes lost circulation and were screaming in pain. It was as if the shoe had too much cushioning and felt bulky to run in. I will be returning these!

Disappointed. I have gotten the cumulus for several years and have loved them. However, the 11s feel much more narrow in the toebox than in previous years. Am debating exchanging for something else as they are currently painful to run in.

I have used these shoes for several years now, through marathon training and several half-marathons (different pairs, of course) and absolutely love them.

I moved to this shoes from the Brooks Glycerin 7 after being a dedicated user for 3 year. Instantly noticed how much lighter the Cumulus 11 is! Loved the light feel and the guidance my foot gets when running. The Cumulus is roomier than the Glycerin in the forefoot and has less support there than the Glycerin (there are no hard overlays on the forefoot of the shoe). This may take some time to get used to if you are transitioning from a more supportive runner. Now I find it easier to keep good form with these shoes, which is a great plus for me. I use the shoes with custom orthotics.

I was somewhat disappointed with these shoes. I usually run in nike zoom vomero 3's and decided to try these. They are cushioned but in strange spots. I recommend them for short runs only, the heel is very high and after just 5 miles I had a blister just under my ankle.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Cumulus 11 Running Shoe:

i really appreciate the seamless toe - any sort of striping or any other applicae can hurt the top of my big toe in the flexation of the back foot take off.

also, very light weight, just wear 2 pairs of socks if you run in Minneosota winters!

Would buy it again, although certainly not the most durable show I've ever worn.

I recently started training for a half marathon and have been running about 15 miles a week for the past month. Prior to this, I have only run a 5K (using Mizunos). I am a fairly new runner, but have been able to run up to 7 miles in these with very little discomfort in my knees or joints. I have very high arches and need a cushioning running shoe and these seem to do the trick. Highly recommend.

I always like Asics and am not disappointed with this one.

This shoe from the first day I got them is awesome. I am a walker and my runner daughter recommended them. I love them. I have no discomfirt in my knee or feet at all while walking. I will buy another pair when I need them!
So impressed with the support and comfort!!

These shoes are fantastic value for money and one of Asics best shoes. Last a long time and really really comfortable.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Cumulus 11 Running Shoe:

I RUN ABOUT 40 MILES PER WEEK. THIS SHOE FITS LIKE A GLOVE. THEY WORK GREAT WITH ORTHOTICS. THE TREAD WEARS OFF THE BOTTOM AFTER ABOUT 2 MONTHS OF RUNNING.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Cumulus 11 Running Shoe:

The road runner 'operator' recommended these after the Adidas Boston Classic were discontinued. (I'm a lightweight runner that puts in about 30 miles a week.) I feel that these shoes are too heavy and bulky than what I'm looking for in a training shoe. There's a lot of shoe under your foot. The heel is raised a little too much for my taste due to the cushioning. On the forefoot, you feel this circle-shaped cushion all the time. I would not buy these again.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Cumulus 11 Running Shoe:

I have been running in Cumulus for several updates (since Cumulus 8) They are great shoes, very cushy yet lightweight and roomy in the toebox. However I've noticed that the midsole in the Cumulus 11 wears out more quickly than the previous models, and if I don't switch to a fresh pair immediately I experience knee pain.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Cumulus 11 Running Shoe:

I have a narrow heel and these shoes fit without my having to re-lace them for my narrow heel. They have great cushioning, but they don't last very long. My girlfriend and I have similar feet (high arch, narrow-ish) and she loves the Nimbus, but it doesn't work for me. If the Cumulus isn't perfect for you, try the Nimbus.

I finally had to see a podiatrist in order to find the perfect shoe for my foot. Apparently, I have some kind of minor deformity on my left foot! Anyway, she recommended this one. After 2 months of trying every running shoe under the sun, I could be happier. I've put 50 miles on this shoe in the two weeks I've had it and I'm really pleased with the support. Can't feel I've even run afterwards- my body feels great.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Cumulus 11 Running Shoe:

Wonderful to run in, the shoes are so light and fits perfectly to my feet. Pillowy comfort - yes!
I am more than pleased.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Cumulus 11 Running Shoe:

Excellent shoes! I just got a pair and ran in them this morning. Perfect fit, great cushioning. Not only do these shoes perform well, they look fantastic. Unlike the 9/10 versions, this one has a more perfected fit with a perfect height for the hill. I found previous versions to be too high. I got a gray and blue paid and considering getting another one already. If you like comfy shoes, get these. They are excellent. Got to run!

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Cumulus 11 Running Shoe:

I average 25-30 miles per week and have been pleased with these. The fit is great with just enough cushionig and are still light weight. I wish the tounge was slightly longer but other but great shoe all around. They are much better than the 10's.
