Review on ASICS Womens Gel Cumulus Running Yellow by Sharon Griffin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I would give them a 3.5 if I could

I switched from an Asics GT-2000 2 (or one of those 2000 models) to a Gel Cumulus after someone in the running shop analyzed my gait/ step and tell me I need a neutral shoe. I've worn the latest GT-2000 line for probably 6 years. These shoes feel less bulky and stiff but I think they have a wider sole. Kinda weird about the sole but I can't describe it because I don't know enough about running shoes. I scrape the soles of my boots several times on the road every run, which I almost never did in my old sneakers. The fabric on top (near my ankle) is already wearing out in less than a month and I only walk in it 3-4 times a week. The color is cute (silver/pink/turquoise) and I find Cumulus Gel more attractive than GT-2000. They're pretty comfortable. I'm not sure if I noticed a difference when running. I have them in size 7.5. I've worn a size 7 in all 5 pairs of GT-2000's I've been through, so I'm not sure what explains the size discrepancy. However, the sevens in Cumulus were too short for my legs. Overall, these shoes are comfortable and pretty cute (for a non-Nike shoe). They don't seem to last very long. We will see.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Almost never
