Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Cumulus® 18

Hu

I love the shoe, but Zappos sent me a size 7 instead of a 7.5. Will reorder.

I have been wearing ASICS for three years for my running, and buy a new pair (in a different color) every six months. I love them! Good quality.

This is a very vibrant color shoe which is available in AA. Hey I take what I can get. Anyway it's comfortable and true to size. And I match my little niece.

Shoe seemed to run much smaller than others in same size that I've worn.

the cumulus 18 run half size small compared to the cumulus 17.

Great shoe! I buy Asics all the time. They're well made and have good support.

Shoes are true to size so comfortable and didn't take breaking in

Great fit. I agree with previous reviewers in the need to order 1/2 size up. Great arch support. My 5th pair of Asics

Great Shoe! Major Support for running long distance. I always order up a half size. They fit perfectly for Asics!

I love these sneaks! I have a lot of problems with my feet (plantars fasciitis)and these shoes have helped me. Plenty of cushion but not overdone. I ordered another pair for my walks. They do run a little small but the mesh stretches and they are fine now. Shoe felt 1/4 size to small.

Definitely order one size up from your normal size! A light shoe—good for light-footed runners, not good for runners who need a lot of cushion. Not good for stability.

I have purchased the Cumulus 17, 18, and 19, and needed a different size in each one. Thank you zappos for making it easy to buy and compare a few different sizes at once. For the Cumulus 18 I had to go up a full size from the 17. Asics seems to be making lots of changes with each iteration of this shoe. I still find them comfortable for running, but being open to trying a different size was key.

These shoes were nice looking, and the size seemed to be OK, but back upper part of the shoe gripped my heel so tightly that it was uncomfortable, so I sent them back.

Love these shoes, truly like walking on a cloud. HOWEVER you must order up a size. I normally wear an 8 in my Asics Gel Resolution 6's that are used exclusively for tennis. I read that the 18's run small so ordered an 8.5. After wearing them for a couple of long walks my feet kept going numb because the toe box was too tight. I have reordered them in a 9 and they are perfect. (Sorry Zappos, had to order from Amazon because you were sold out of this color in a 9.) No heel slippage, arch support in the right spot, and room to move my toes. My daughter is now receiving a gift of practically brand new shoes since her feet a bit smaller than mine so the 8.5's should fit her perfectly. I do wish Asics would get some continuity in their sizing.

This is a cute shoe. The padding in the shoe is good, and it felt true to size and width. However, the material at the toe box wanted to bend into my foot when I walked. It created rubbing on the top of my foot. I have to return these shoes for that reason.

I love these shoes. I have a narrow foot and heel so the width was perfect with tighter lacing for me, but roomy enough for a B width. I also have a high arch & when I take a step my foot lengthens slightly due to my high arch. Also, my 2nd toe is the longest toe on my foot. That being said toe room is important to me. I ended up exchanging my 1st pair for a half size larger. I read the reviews the majority of which suggest ordering a half size larger. I hesitated ordering my regular size but did it anyway. Dumb mistake. If you have problems with toe room or your toes hitting the front of the shoe when you walk believe the reviews and order a half size larger. The toe of this shoe is more pointed/narrowed than is usual in a sneaker. Other than that this is a very comfortable and supportive sneaker. I'm 65 and starting to have balance problems from surgery on one knee, most often on uneven or gapped surfaces such as brick paved pathways and cracked pavement. The stability and traction this shoe provides is perfect. No breaking in period, no blisters. Snazzy color choices too.

Beautiful colors!

These replace the old Nimbus for me, which have changed so much they are barely the same shoe. Very disappointing. But the Cumulus 18 are a close second, apparently an improved version of the GT-2000, keeping the wide toe box (which Nimbus no longer has) & more cushioning than the 2000. The main issue I have now with Asics is their lack of quality control. I ordered 3 pairs of the same model, & they all feel slightly to very different. My guess is that Asics has altered their country of manufacturing & they're using cheaper materials & less of it. Even the size is different (smaller). I've worn a 9 for many YEARS in these shoes, but suddenly need a 9.5. So order up a half size, & if you need a wide toe box, steer clear of the Nimbus. All that said, I do love the Cumulus 18.

I have the old Gel Cumulus 16 model that I have run a half marathon in and multiple other smaller races. I thought I could get away with ordering the same size but I was WRONG!! I had a 7.5 medium in the 16 model but that size definitely does NOT fit the same in the 18 model. Way smaller in the toe box (more narrow) and the overall length is smaller (should have ordered an 8). Color looks awesome though. I will be returning these.
