ASICS Men's Gel-Cumulus 23 Trainers

Product Information

These pillar formations are tuned differently in the men's and women's models to address each gender's biomechanical data. The ASICS FIT CHECKER™ print on the sock liner's toe helps kids recognise the right shoe from the left.

Overall the upper fits slightly snug, is very secure, stretches to accommodate slightly different foot sizes (there is a wide version if necessary) and is very comfortable against bare skin. The FLYTEFOAM™ technology in the midsole is softer than the previous version to promote a pillowy ride.

To optimise for the individual movements of men and women, the midsole contains a series of planted pillars. I think there was some extra material that was folding under, which was a bit annoying but not a deal-breaker. Amazing comfort and next-level style is what you can expect from the Asics women's running shoe in blue, which was released in Winter 2022. Let our running experts keep you updated We´ll keep you updated on all our latest releases and offers. Subtle updates continue the tradition of consistency, so previous Cumulus wearers have no major reason for concern.

However, the toebox tapers a little, so those with wider feet may want to try the wide or wait for the upper to break in. Although the Cumulus is padded, its sibling the Gel Nimbus is a better option for those that want a plush feeling underfoot. A hard-wearing AHAR rubber outsole compound has been placed in key contact areas to help the GEL-CUMULUS 23 shoe stand up to a ton miles.

The cushioning effect of the shoes is complemented by the GEL shock absorption system in the heel area and under the first metatarsal.

When you want something that is exceptionally comfortable to wear all day long, has cushioning for extra comfort and is so light it feels weightless, then this is just the product you need. When I first saw pictures of the Cumulus 23 online, my initial thought was that it looks very similar to the Nimbus 23. I found all paces and especially slower paces easier, more forgiving, bouncier and more comfortable here than the Cumulus 22 placing the 23 more closely towards plush than the more uptempo responsive feel of the 22.Lined with Gore-Tex, you will notice that the Gel Cumulus 23 G-TX is water-resistant, yet breathable. Billed as the more traditional trainer compared to the more cushioned/premium Nimbus series, the Cumulus has been a staple for those looking to rack up miles and get training in.

They were well made , good fitting shoes that people who need a high level of cushioning could enjoy .

The 3D Space Construction is gender specific in the sense the pillars are only at the heel in the men’s and at both heel and forefoot in the women’s as women seem to prefer a softer forefoot.

I particularly liked the easy transitions and flex at all slower to moderate paces but wished for a touch more response and pop at faster paces. Sam: The 13 was my daily trainer of the year 2020 and the 14 is essentially the same with a lighter more comfortable upper.That said, I think the Cumulus has a more relaxed fit to it and a roomier and slightly wider toebox and thus is maybe preferable for people looking for an easy day shoe that is more on the traditional side. When I ran in the rain, both shoes picked up a ton of weight and I felt like I was carrying an extra 1 kilogram of water weight on my feet. All this padding means the shoe hugs your feet well, but it comes with downsides like weight, and the shoe feels a touch warm in the hot temps of mid-June.
