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.

I am a 220lb runner. I run ave. 20miles a week and love the shoes! Good support!

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.

With a Japanese brand like Asics, you would have high expectations like I did when I made my purchase. However, they did not live up to my standards, especially how expensive they were. My previous Asics trail Gel Attack 3 were more comfortable than the Cumulus 10. In comparison with the Brooks Glycerin and Saucony Pro Grid Jazz, the Cumulus 10 place 3rd. I am still puzzled how they feel SO comfortable when walking but so rigid during running. Running roughly ~20 miles a week, my knees tell me the difference between the 3 pairs in comparison. In terms of weight, it's heaviest of the 3. The Brooks Glycerin is the most comfortable shoe for my type of feet. (Medium arch with neutral pronation). This will be the last time I wear Asics.

This shoe is really worth the buy. I used to run with a Nike shoe but this one is really better. Its gel based cushioning system is way better than Nike's.

I really recommend!

This is my transition from a more "stable" shoe (the 2030) to a "neutral" shoe and I'm very satisfied. This shoe fits great and combines both the heel and forefoot cushioning I was looking for without excessive motion. I highly recommend it.

I ran about 30 miles and the mesh does not offer the side to side support I was expected. I always feel my foot sliping when i'm running over an uneven surface. This movement lead me to tie my shoes tighter than usual. As for the shock absorption it work great for me.

i've used this shoe now for years, and it's the best shoe i've ever used.

I've been running in the Asics Gel Nimbus for several years now. I was so glad to have found a shoe that I could trust. So when I needed a new pair of shoes, I didn't hesitate to buy the Gel Nimbus 10. How disappointing! The shoes felt fine, but after wearing them running I noticed that the toe box is narrower. I ended up with blisters all over my toes and on the bottom of my feet. When I got ready to run the next time, I compared the fit to my old Nimbus 9 and noticed that my toes are rubbing slightly against the inside of the shoe. If only the shoe was a little wider. I'm considering cutting the side of the shoe open to give my toes a place to go. It's still a great shoe, but you can't blindly purchase them just because the 8 or 9 worked for you.

i had bought them to run like an animal.n i am doin it, and the best part is they r comfortable n tough. i did rate them 5 if they were priced around 65$.the cushion in the heel n the forefoot area is great and i dont get any pain in my ankle or sole after my running the way i used to get usin other running shoes.very good shoe but not excellent.its better they lower the price.
