Love the Asics Cumulus and have been buying them for years. My old pair finally wore out, which was a 7.5 - I've been wearing 7.5 every time I purchase. However, the design has changed and you need to order a full size bigger. The toe box is extremely tight - I ordered three different sizes before finding a full-size up in your normal width is needed. Disappointed they changed the design, but ordering one size up wasn't a big deal for the level of comfort they provide. And, with Zappos free returns, it was even less of an issue.

These shoes are great! I have trouble with my feet and body aching every time I exercise. These provide the right amount of support to keep me from being achy all over!

I've been fitted for running shoes before and these were the shoes that fit my feet well and help regulate any pronation. I switched to a Saucony for awhile and have switched back to these Asics. I feel like they have fantastic support, they're lightweight and they last. I love the colors of these too.

I have been wearing Asics for many years. This is my favorite style. Excellent for running and workouts. I know what I will get when I order.

The fit was perfect. Love the bright sailor blue; they are much more attractive in person than in the photo. Finally, they're very comfortable to walk in, even though I have to wear orthotics.

I continually buy this shoe due to the pronation of my feet (ankles roll both in and out). The Cumulus has a support around the back of your ankle that keeps feet from rolling in or out. Very comfortable shoes!

My favorite running shoe. Did feel a little snug in the toe box compared to other Adidas shoes I've bought. Suggest sizing half size up.

this shoe comes in 6 N which is hard to find. It has a narrow heal and is a great walking shoe. I get many compliments on these shoes.

I wore the Cumulus many years ago and Asics changed them so I bought Nimbus and Kayanos. I tried the 18s and was pleasantly surprised that they felt good again. I liked everything about the shoe, except the toe box is too small! Had to order a size up.

I've tried every brand then finally got my feet sized and fitted by a professional. Gel-Cumulus were recommended due to my high arch and being a neutral pronator. So I've been buying since Gel-Cumulus 12. I typically wear a 6.5 in shoes but for some reason I need a full size up in this shoe. I think this shoe offers excellent comfort and stability. I love how these shoes cup my feet. No need for more or less room, they are just right!

I was trying to replace a pair of Asics Air Nimbus 16. I normally wear a size 9, but usually need 9.5 in Asics. I ordered 9.5 in this shoe, but it was still too small. Unfortunately I have to return, but would be reluctant to order yet another .5 size larger, so will not order up at this time.

I love ASICS! This is one of my favorite versions too. Great bounce and support for running. I will definitely repurchase this model shoe.

I love these shoes. I have narrow feet and high arches and these shoes are very comfortable. Based on comments from others I ordered a half size larger than my normal 10.5 and was glad I did. The cushioning, padded sicklier and shock absorbing soles all made these shoes a keeper. The style and materials are very good as well.

I bought these as have has asics previously and out run them!! I particularly love the colour but wasn't the main reason why I chose these. The gel in the sole gives great cushion and support which feels like a little pillow for your feet. The fit is perfect and feel light which allows you to focus fully on your running/training. I've been converted to asics from other brands and would definitely recommend these to other runners.

After giving up on finding a wide width in a Ascics shoe in a local store I ordered these in a wide and 1/2 size up ( from reading reviews here) from my usual Asics size. They are very comfortable for my long walks and finally my little toe is not feeling squished! I am a "blue girl" so also love the color. My last few walking shoes were also from Zappos's. You've become my go to shoe store !

To replace my Gel Kayano 22s I ordered the Cumulus 18 1/2 size larger In the D width. Perfect for a wide foot. Also it has a narrow heel, which works well. Deep toe box with no pesky decorations to obstruct movement. Excellent shoe.

My two cents on the different sizing in the Gel Cumulus 18: I have bought 1–2 pairs of Gel Cumulus shoes per year since 2013, all size 8, standard width (in other brands I wore 7.5). After reading the other reviews, I decided to order both size 8 and 8.5. Thanks Zappos for free return shipping! The 8.5 feels better on the toes. I wear a custom orthotic in place of the one that comes with the shoe. Also, I have a wider forefoot and narrower heel. My heel slipped at first, until I threaded the laces through that last set of lace holes. Hope this helps others debating what size to order.
