My second pair of this make and model. Great for outside running and on the treadmill. Fantastic cushion on the back foot strike, they allow me to go into the 'runner's zone' without having to think about the shoes at all - very light. They do not feel big or clunky at all for shoes that provide so much cushion and comfort and provide all this while still feeling like a 'limber' shoe. Was a Nike guy my whole life but now I buy just Asics - greatly prefer the gel shoes to the air shoes. One note: I am normally a 10 across the board but took 10.5 with these.

After I used it for the first time the back side soft black layer has come loose and split from the counter upper black part surrounding the complete heel. It looked to me as a sort of quality issue potentially linked with poor gluing or short of injection molding. I doubt if this is a common issue seen on all trainers produced so far or applies only for specific batch produced by the site. I returned my order already and asked customer service to initiate an investigation with the factory perhaps involving R&D since its obvious that there is something wrong either with design or process parameters on that particular heel area of these trainers shoe.

Very stylish and quite a different feel from the Cumulus 23 I know and love. They seem more cushioned and also faster with a less relative perceived effort.Hugged my feet (lockdown) so not as much movement as in my older 23's but this may be down to newness.I'll do around 200 miles before I wear them for the Brighton Marathon in April 2024.My only issue with Asics Cumulous is they let the water in. Expect wet feet from puddles and running in the rain . The uppers should always be Gore-Tex which the more expensive GTX versions are.
