Women's ASICS GEL-Cumulus 12

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Cumulus 12 Running Shoe:

I started out a few years ago with the Cumulus 9. I buy a few new pairs of this shoe each year . Now I'm up to Cumulus 12. This shoe fits so well that I just order online. No need to try it on.
I love the wide D width. I have a very high arch and wide at the toe. In other shoes I would have to go up a size or two. I'm so happy to have a shoe that fits.
It's lightweight and attractive. I love everything about this shoe!

I have been wearing the Cumulus for about 10 years. I've run 2 marathons in them, and run several halfs, so you can imagine the training I do. I use them at the gym for cross-training and they work well there too. I have custom orthotics (mostly for the marathon running), and the work well in the shoe. they are durable, comfortable, and the changes over the years, while a bit of a nuisance, haven't been enough to cause me to look for another brand. I have a flat foot, 5'3", ~120lbs. all around athlete (road and mtn. biking, skiing, hiking, etc). So i'm not a running junkie, but these shoes have been great. this model (12) is definitely sized smaller than the last 9 models i've had, so order a 1/2 size up. the toe box is lower volume. also, the upper is very thin to be more breathable, but that also makes it less supportive, so if you like a lot of leather strapping then this might not be your shoe. the older models had more of that. I bought the nimbus 12 this fall and did the first half of my marathon training in it, but found that it doesn't work as well for me despite the claims that it's designed for long distances, has more forefoot cushion, etc. it's more expensive and for me, less comfortable for some reason. I'll stick with the Cumulus for the value.

I run 3 times a week all seasons and I need a comfortable and supportive pair of running shoes. I only buy Asics these days after trying various brands. The only problem with these newer versions is that they seem to be narrower. I'm returning mine to get a D width. Other than that, they're great. I got a pair of Nimbus 12s and the Cumulas 12s. There are some minor difference between them, but they both are great shoes.

I run several days a week, though not using this shoe to train for a 1/2 marathon or marathon currently.
Shoe has excellent cushioning and is quite comfortable. I prefer shoes with more response, so I would consider the Cumulus a little "slow". I haven't accrued 100 miles with this shoe, but not confident in its durability.

Love Love these shoes. Had originally purchased the Asics GT 2150 and the difference was night and day. These were far more cushioned, felt much lighter on my feet. The GT's were much too firm for me. Will definitely be purchasing more!

These are terrific everyday road shoes for those with skinny, unpadded feet. The only downer is that the laces are too short for any who use all the eyelets for real heel lock lacing. There also seems to be some variation (quality control) in construction, as the pair I tried on in the store fit differently in the uppers when compared to the ones I received via mail order (both RR). they can be a little touch in getting the lace tightness just right in the uppers, as the laces can cut into the minimal if care is not taken. However, with a swap of longer laces this seemed to help a bit. Not a fan of the fabric loop eyelets, I will say, due to a couple on my shoes that are too tight clearance. Otherwise, these are very comfortable, padded runners that keep my skinny heels in their place; lots of nice mesh up top. Don't know how they'll stand up over time, but my previous Nimbuses were retired due to age, rather than wear and these are very similar, but without the funky asymmetrical lacing that I could not endure (did I say I had boney feet?). They feel light and work well with my custom orthotics which have a high arch and a fair amount of padding including meta pad. Nice and snug and overall good-looking shoe too. Nothing strange or trendy. Just wish they'd come with the proper sized laces. They're as good as my feet can hope for.

This is an overall great shoe. I think my previous pair must have been a bit wider. This pair was making my feet numb when I was running and it definitely wasn't due to the size being too small- I bout a 1.5 sizes bigger than my normal. My feet are only slightly wider than normal.

I am a long time Asics wearer, these are by far my favorite pair. I use them for both work and recreation. I am on my feet a great deal at work, I find my feet less tired and my knees less sore in these.
I will buy these again and again.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Cumulus 12 Running Shoe:

I started back running this summer after taking several years off. I was also a Nike lover. When they stopped making my favorite shoe in a narrow, I needed to find something new. This is the shoe that was recommended by the great people here at Road Runner. I am a road runner, low miles. I have very high arches and my feet roll to the outside. This shoe fits like a glove. I want to wear it all the time. I actually do wear it more for everyday wear than just running. My feet never tire in these shoes. I can't say enough about how Impressed I am with the shoe. I will definitely buy it again.

It's simple. These running shoes fit like baby bear, not too big and not too small. They are just right! They fit perfectly the moment you put them on and feel great the whole time. Aaaaaah... Seriously,how many things in your life can you say you don't have to worry about? These shoes help me to look forward to my daily workouts. They are just right. Simple. Now if I could only find an anti-frizz cream for my hair!

I love Asics! After taking a break from them and trying out Sauconys and Mizunos; I am back to the Asics and loving it!

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Cumulus 12 Running Shoe:

I usually buy asics and either saucony or nike to switch off every other day but after wearing these shoes I am buying 2 more pairs. I feel like I am floating with these shoes. Great cushioning and a soft feel which is what I like. I have a pretty heavy forefoot strike and I usually have to put inserts in my shoes after only a 100 miles or so but not with these shoes. I am a heavier runner {140 lbs} and I run 20 to 25 miles/week.

I love these shoes but need a new pair and since they are the older version, I'm looking for an updated pair just like these. Can anyone suggest something for me? I have a high arch and these shoes are perfect.

I love this shoe!!!
I bought it because my old running shoes were totaly worn out.
I already felt the difference on my first run. They r sooo comfortable and I would recommend them to everyone. I ran a half marathon in them and I had no blisters at all.
Love these shoes!!

This is my second pair of Cumulus 12. I am a neutral runner and need a wide width. This shoe is absolutely perfect for me. Great cushioning, very comfortable, and no blisters. I get blisters on my instep if the shoe is too narrow. Perfect fit. Extremely happy.

I wear my Gel Cumulus to walk every day. They are always comfortable right out of the box.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Cumulus 12 Running Shoe:

I bought these to train for my first half marathon. I have really high arches and run 15-20 miles week. I have covered 90 miles on gravel trails and roads with them so far, and have loved them since my first run. I had no idea running shoes could feel so perfectly cushioned and contoured to my feet out of the box, and they still feel brand new at this point! These shoes are perfect in every way.

My daughter is an elite high school runner both track and cross country. This shoe has been her favorite training shoe for the last two years.
The cushioning helps her get in the miles she needs without beating up her legs.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Cumulus 12 Running Shoe:

Love this shoe, i run 25+ miles per week and this is my go to shoe. Great cushion and support, i order 1/2 size up for my running shoes so to prevent toenail loss, blisters, etc.....you won't be dissapointed in this shoe.
