ASICS Womens Gel Cumulus Running Lilac Reviews Summary

Fit and Size

Pros:

• "They fit perfectly. I appreciate that I can count on the brand to be consistent."
• "These are the most comfortable and supportive shoes that I have ever owned and they fit like a glove."
• "I ordered a 6.5 and they fit perfectly."
• "I purchased these for my wife... the 8 fit perfectly."
• "I ordered a 9.5 but normally wear a 9 and these are a perfect fit."
• "I can usually wear a 7 or a 71/2. I bought the 7 1/2 and am glad I did, because they fit well."
• "I first bought a size 9 and exchanged them for a 9.5 and they fit perfect."

Cons:

• "I wouldn't recommend these shoes because they were too tight and very uncomfortable."
• "The toe box is so small it is crushing my toes."
• "It's not wide enough, and the way the toe box is shaped it squeezes the toes into an unnatural placement, like as if I was wearing heels."
• "They were much too small and narrow so I went up a half size and also ordered a wide sneaker."
• "These shoes are beautiful but they run so so small!"
• "The 24s are extraordinarily narrow in the toe box to the point where if you normally size up half a size, you need to size up a whole size for these."
• "The shoes were not only too short but also too tight around the middle/arch area of the foot."

Comfort and Support

Pros:

• "You actually feel like you are walking on clouds, that is how good the lining is."
• "These shoes just carried me through a 6.58 mile walk and I felt like I could still go further."
• "Remarkably comfortable. Knee, ankle and leg support in every step."
• "The cushioning is fantastic and it feels like the shoe propels you forward!"
• "Absolutely a dream! I am on my feet all day for work and these shoes are amazing."
• "Love these shoes! They’re so comfortable and have such good support I don’t even wear my arch supports with them."
• "The Gel-Nimbus 24 is over the top ~ best ever. It's like walking & working out on a cloud."

Cons:

• "These are the opposite. I cannot recall a time where my feet hurt literally 5 minutes after putting on a pair of shoes."
• "I have tendinitis in my toes so running in these is really not good because they're so flexible."
• "I tried these shoes because they said they offered more support for high arches. Ok, they did that for a short time, but the ball of my foot would get sore and it always felt like my sock had a wrinkle in it, even though I checked all the time."
• "After just one mile walking around my neighborhood, I had considerable pain in my heel and some pain in my arches."
• "Very uncomfortable and hard sole. Also very narrow shoe."
• "These aren’t real ASICS. The tag isn’t on the tongue, the material is cheap, and they are too narrow to be wide as indicated on the “tag”."
• "The body of the 24 shoe is much thinner and less supportive than my 23s are."

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "Gel Cumulus 24, correct size and color. Style, color, fit, cushioning all very good, as was price."
• "These running shoes are so comfortable and have great cushioning and support."
• "These are well built and provide great arch and side support."
• "Good quality and really helped eliminate shin splints."
• "Absolutely the most comfy sneakers and I have HOKAs and other higher brand shoes."
• "Very cushioned yet responsive and they last a long time."
• "I've been running for over 25 years with ASICS and have always been highly satisfied."

Cons:

• "I have had these shoes since Nov 22,2023 and it's March 4,2024 and they are already falling apart."
• "Sadly they only lasted me 2 months :( Most running shoes usually last me a year, but after only 2 months they have holes and the rubber is peeling off the bottom of the shoes."
• "Received these shoes in June and by September I already had one toe hole on one shoe and by October, both."
• "I paid too much for these to be useless already! Horrible quality!"
• "I just noticed today( 9-8-23) that the tread on my right shoe has pulled loose in 2 places."
• "Stitching inside is coming undone - I do not wear them often and definitely not enough to be falling apart."
• "I had not worn this pair for a full six months before the material around the top of the heel developed a hole and the foam padding began to come through."

Color and Design

Pros:

• "The color options for the 24 are the best ASICS has ever provided women with, variety wise, with lots of attractive combinations to choose from."
• "I just love the comfort and color (purple mixed)."
• "The purple colors are really pretty."
• "Got a lot of compliments on the unique color."
• "Love the purple color and design."
• "The color is adorable, and are great to run or walk in."
• "LOVE the shades of green & black look of these shoes."

Cons:

• "It is disappointing that the color is not as pictured."
• "BEWARE!!!The Black and Black/Black are actually GREEN with black undertones."
• "In the picture, these shoes look pink, and the color is described as “rose.” They were actually more purple/lilac."
• "The shoes are not light pink but instead a purple. Disappointing to say the least."
• "This time I ordered the Rose/White and the color I received is a lavender color."
• "Not only was the color disappointing, the fit was not right."
• "The web-site shows ASICS Nimbus Gel 24 BUT once you order, your order shows ASICS Cumulus Gel 24; be warned!"
