These were just too tight. Weird, because my other Asics Gel-Cumulus are this same size and the fit just fine. Bummer.

I've been buying this style since number 13. This model is small for size. Had to return for larger size. Don't like doing that since I'm already in a large size

I buy these shoes every year and love them. I have a slightly wider foot and find that Asics really work well for me. I go a half size bigger to allow for some swelling during running. Never have to spend time breaking them in, can go several miles right out of the box.

I bought this shoe a few days ago; I have been wearing the Cumulus 15's for years and wore then out. Tried on about 4 different types of Asics at the store and this is the one that fit the best and was the most comfy. I wore them running 2 days later and my feet and knees felt so much better. I have been wearing Asics for years and they are my favorite running shoe. I would highly recommend that you buy them from a store where you can try them on, I usually wear an 8.5 but in Asics I wear a 9. For running you want your feet to be happy, make sure to try them on before buying them. Overall, this shoe provides the cushioning I need and is very comfy.

Based on the reviews I ordered a half size larger. The shoe was too large for me.

Great shoes. They are smaller in the the toe box than the Culumus-17 but stretch out quickly.

I though this shoe was great. I put it on and felt the comfort right away as oppose to some other shoes I tried on. I am not an active walker or runner but with these shoes I was able to get the job done. Normally after a while my shins or my arches would start to hurt. I did not have that problem with these shoes. They were great to walk in.

I compared the Cumulus 18 to the Nimbus 18 and the Cumulus has a wider toe box - more wiggle room. Both have excellent cushioning with moderate arch support. I supinate and I have Morton's toe so I require good cushioning with some flexibility.

These are the best sneakers, I purchased a pair for working as a nurse as well as a pair for walking! I have a bad lower back and these are super supportive and comfortable.

This is the second pair of these shoes we bought. My daughter runs cross country and we go through running shoes quickly. She loves these ASICS

This was my 2nd pair of Gel-Cumulus shoes , same size and I am once again pleased with their performance/fit.
I use orthotics in Sneakers and they work very well in this shoe. Feel very comfortable and well supported.

I've been wearing these shoes for about a month now. Great color and the comfort is amazing! I had to order a half size up since they tend to run smaller.

This is my go to show for running. I'm a new runner but I wore this shoe for my first half marathon and have gotten a second pair to train for my triathlon. These work great for me!

Best shoes ever! I will use them forever. I replace the Super feet inserts to get the extra arch support.

Fab running shoe. Significantly more pillowy(if that's a word) than the 17 but I clock up a lot of miles and felt very supported the whole way.

This shoe runs small. In the past I've ordered 9 or 9 1/2. I ordered a 9 1/2 and it's too short.

I've bought this model of running shoe twice a year for several years now. Budget-wise, I prefer to buy the shoe when it's on sale, but bought them at full price earlier this month and am loving the comfort and support they provide. I'm in my 50s and 6 mornings a week, I run on cement and asphalt so cushioning is very important to me. The colors for #18 are way louder (garish actually) than previous models but I bought them anyway.

Another keeper from Asics. Whenever I wear Cumulus, I feel as though I am walking on a cloud...as a nurse, working 12, 13+ hours per shift I need great shoes and these fit the bill. Even more so than those hard soled foreign shoes. I'd take these any day (and I own 3 pairs of Danskos).

I bought my last pair of Gel-Cumulus 4 years ago. It is the same fine shoe, but I had to buy a wide. When it arrived I compared it to the previous model which was a medium and they were the same width. I wish there was more consistency in sizing, but other than that the Cumulus 18 feels great and there is a little more rooom in the toe box.
