WOW - Comfortable! Comparable to higher end models!, July 2, 2008
This review is from: Asics Gel Cumulus 10 Mens Cushioning Running Shoes (Apparel)
For the last year and a half I have been running 3 miles a day, four days a week. I never had shoes made specifically for running; I would usually run in basketball shoes because I didn't think there would be a big difference.
After buying these shoes, I learned there is a BIG difference!
Asics have always been known for making great running shoes. Compared to the higher end model (Nimbus), these shoes seemed to have all the important features a runner is looking for without the hefty price tag. I went to my local Footlocker to compare the two models. Unfortunately they did not carry the Cumulus in store, so I could only try on the Nimbus. Don't get me wrong, the Nimbus is an excellent shoe, but I couldn't justify spending almost double the price when this shoes has the same important main features (IGS and GEL). Plus, I think the white/black/red Cumulus is the most visually appealing running shoe I have seen.
Running is now definitely easier on my knees - I no longer have aches in them as I used to have. The cushioning in these shoes is great especially when running at fast speeds. These shoes also have great ventilation and I can sometimes even feel a cool breeze on my feet when running. No more sweaty socks sitting in my gym bag after a long run! Another plus is that these shoes don't collect little pebbles on the bottom of the soles as other running shoes may do.
Overall, I feel I got a great deal on these running shoes. They seem to be very comparable to higher-priced shoes. I definitely recommend them.

Wife loves these shoes!, January 5, 2010
This review is from: Asics Gel Cumulus 10 Mens Cushioning Running Shoes (Apparel)
We have tried many different brands but we keep going back to Asics Cumulus for the excellent cushioning and comfort. I don't buy any other brand or model any more. I have run two marathons and two sprint triathalons and have logged many training miles over the last 10 years; Asics shoes ROCK.
