Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Cumulus® 18

I have been wearing Gel Cumulus for years for walking and was always happy with them. However, the Gel Cumulus 18 feels smaller and the mesh over the forefoot developed holes quite quickly. I wore a size 10 in Asics but went to a 10.5 C for the 18. When the holes developed, I thought perhaps I needed a D width, so bought another pair. The holes developed after only 2 months. No more Asics for me.

I have been a loyal customer to Cumulus and Nimbus styles. For some reason this pair was too tight at the toes. After wearing them for about 7 hours I wantedbto burn them.

I've been a loyal Asics customer since 2009 and have been running long distance in gel cumulus since the cumulus-11. I have a wide foot and all the models beyond 16 are far too narrow (17 & 18). Also I find the height of the toe box in the 18 model is too short. I wear a 6.5 in regular shoes and a 7 in gel cumulus. I had to try 7.5 in the 18's and they still felt too small. I'm so sad that I am going to have to find an alternate shoe. Asics team... please please please look into this!!

I love asics trainers but am totally disappointed with these. Ive worn them twice, they're too hard feet really hurt during and after each run. I won't be wearing them again, complete waste of money

Have worn these twice a week for about half an hour of jogging and already the mesh is wearing through. The sole of the shoe still has a lot of tread but I will have to change them because of the hole in the top. Very disappointing .

I have been running in cumulus shoes for a number of years. My last pair were cumulus 17 and I loved them to death - Asics had got the balance between cushioning and weight bang on. So when they wore out I excitedly brought a new pair of the cumulus 18 but I'm so disappointed - the ride is so hard that I can hardly run in them. After a few miles in the shoes the pain in the balls of my feet builds up to an unbearable level. I don't have this problem in any other shoes and I've tried to persevere but after a number of runs the shoes aren't any better. I am truly disappointed that Asics have changed the shoes so much :(
