Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Cumulus® 18

The Gel Cumulus 18, which are for Neutral feet, as soon as I put them on I was so impressed with the cushion in the shoe, it felt like my new carpet cushion . The comfort I would rate a 10. I walked and jogged in them and to me they were light and my toes did not feel squished toe box was very roomy. If your customer needs cushion these are for them. Sizing run small go up a size. I wear 8 1/2 had to go to 9 1/2. Debbie De Leon

This is my second try at the Gel Cumulus. I bought the 16s, and now the 18s and it's deja vu--again the toe box is far too wide for my narrow foot. Am keeping them, however, because they do what New Balance doesn't do anymore--fit my narrow heels. Odd that a wide shoe would cling so nicely to my skinny heel and be so wide across the instep and toe box. Bought size 10, even though I wear an 8 in dress shoes. Loved the color, though, and will keep them. I'll end up breaking them in and putting my Spenco inserts on top of the Asics insert, as I do in other models. My favorite Asics were the gt2000-2 and 3. Oh, to have bought a lifetime supply of those shoes! The 4's didn't fit in any size,and the 5's sound no better. And the colors are limited. Gave these shoes a 5 grade because they're so light and bouncy, and would be great for 99% of feet out there. Oh, and I do rely on customer feedback, though mine was rather wimply this time. Thanks to all who get technical. We need your expertise.

I have purchased the Gel-Cumulus shoes for years in the same size and was always pleased with their performance/fit. With this version though I found that the toe box was more narrow, and about 2 miles into my run my pinkie toe was being pushed under my other toes. I ordered the shoe again in a half size up and would suggest others adjust their order the same for this shoe if they want to try it.

I'm a runner and have completed several half marathons and marathons. I've been a faithful Asics user for years, and was extremely disappointed in these. Despite ordering wides, the toe-box is extremely narrow and caused blistering. Order up a full size.

This is my first pair of ASICS and I love them! I followed the advice given in other reviews and ordered 1/2 size up. I have a narrow foot with a high arch. These shoes are a perfect fit. I wear them for walking with interval jogging.

My feet finally said YES!I have bought and tried so many pairs of shoes. I have high arches, bone spurs, plantar fasciitis and arthritis in my feet and ankles.Doctor recommended New Balance. Tried several pairs. They made my knees, hip and back hurt. Actually had bruise on outside of foot. Loved Saucony but could not get wide enough.The Asics Gel Cumulus 18 feel wonderful. I have plenty of room in toe box. Heel feels snug without being tight. I had to get a whole size larger than normal and a wide width. The sad part is this shoe is being discontinued. I love Zappos. It is wonderful to be able to have no hassle returns. I am in my 60's but I don't want ugly old women shoes.

With a Women's size 13 I have a terrible time finding shoes that fit well. Put these on and went sightseeing all day. They are very comfortable with good support. Not bad looking either.

Great pair of running shoe. Love the color too. ASICS seems to have change the sizing for this model. It runs way shorter than the models of the last 10 or so years

I read the reviews about ordering a half size bigger & did and they feel great. So happy I read the reviews & agree/advise to do so. Amazing running shoe!ð???

I read the reviews and saw where many said get a half size larger. I should have listened. Even if you have had previous Asics, get these larger. Had to return the first pair and get a half size bigger. The reason I didn't listen was on the reviews I read, no one mentioned "I already wear Asics." My pair before, actually, my last several pair were Asics Keyano. I started with 18's the last I got was 22's. Like others I did not like that they narrowed the toes. When I found these it appeared the toe was wider. It was but in the Keyano I wore a 10. The Cumulus I definitely needed the 10 1/2. Love the colors. Felt comfortable right out of the box. Good cushion.

Really enjoyed a pair of Asics I had in the past. Frugal person that I am figured that adding an over-the-counter pair of arch supports would prolong their life. They did. But I lost sight of the benefits of a fresh pair of Asics until I finally broke down and invested in a new pair. Oh my, there's a bounce in my step again...first time in years. There's really no substitute. Don't spend money on arch supports when your shoes get old. Just get a new pair of Asics!

I saw the other reviews about this version being narrow so I ordered a wide in my normal size. It was too short and too narrow. I need to find a different Asics model to try. I have been wearing Cumulus for 4 years. I still love this shoe. I will have to wait for the next version and hope it gets better.

loved the shoes but they pulled my socks off. Had to return them

I used to be a die-hard fan of ASICS' GT-2000 shoes, but somewhere along the way they changed the formula and they stopped fitting me well. Thankfully, the Gel-Cumulus came to the rescue! I have fairly wide toes and narrow heels, and these shoes did not disappoint. There is plenty of room in the toes, and they have extra cushion in the back of the shoe, right under your ankles, to help hold your heel in place. I usually wear an 8, but they were a bit snug. I got an 8.5, and they fit perfectly.

Another great pair of running shoes from asics! 3-5 miles a day on sidewalk and streets and they are just the right balance of weight and support.

I bought these years ago, maybe around version 15. Picked up this pair Because the Cumulus is a good alternate for the Kayano. These are the 2016 edition (V18) Asics are the only shoes that don't tear up my feet.

I'm disappointed that Asics is making their shoes shorter and shorter. When I first began using them, I was buying a 9 1/2. Now I need an 11!!!!!!!!

I;ve owned this shoe for years (earlier style) and it has held up amazingly well with 8-12 miles of running a week (sometimes more). Not ready to give up my old pair but these ones are a great upgrade, awesome arch support, color is bright without being obnoxious, good breathability - no complaints from me! I've ran in Nikes in the past and always felt like they deteriorated so quickly, really happy with Asics as an intermediate runner. I sized up (normally a 6.5) to a 7 and am happy I did, would suggest others do the same.
