Review on ASICS Gel Cumulus Men's Running Shoes in Hazard Design by Kevin Mckechnie

Asics to Skechers?

I used to wear Skechers boots but they decided to sell 11.5 boots in a size 12 and I couldn't wear their size 12 boots anymore. Well I finally destroyed my last pair of Asics and was about to start wearing them. I always buy in advance so I have a fresh pair to wear when the time comes. BUT WAIT FOR THE SECOND MAN! NOT SO FAST! We're Asics and we want to cut costs too, so we're going to sell you the 11.5" size 12! So now I'm screwed. I bought them in October and well past the return window. I've worn Asics since they came out years ago so never had a landing problem well it's all out the window now can't wear a new pair of asics as they shrink when taken out of the box that's the only explanation I mean , a reputable company like Asics wouldn't cut corners like Skechers would they Yes I tried several pairs of Skechers before abandoning the brand so I ordered a new pair of Asics to see if it was a one off mistake was or if Asics have gone to the dark side of profits not reputation I will report as soon as I have new shoes and no my foot has not grown since I have worn another new pair of Asics hiking boots and trainers. But always buy running shoes, no matter what you do. By the way, if you throw a pair on the shelf for a few years, you won't like them. I pulled a pair of white Asics trainers off the shelf and while the shoes are in great condition the sole is very hard and sounds like spikes when you walk on it, not to mention slippery as ice! Just for your information.

Pros
  • I like the fit and the support. Very convenient. I don't use it for running, so I can't comment on that
Cons
  • May not be available in all sizes.
