About this deal

There is a large amount of padding around the heel, which does an excellent job of protecting the calcaneus (heel bone) from the solid heel counter. This one offers a bit more versatility due to its lighter weight, but this may be a situation where less isn’t more. This is a budget shoe, so I don’t think you should expect 700 miles out of it, but it does have a dense EVA midsole that should hold up and a decently thick (4mm in the heel/average is 3.

I’m struggling at the moment to find a new shoe – running in Brooks Transcend so thought about Glycerin gts? This version is also formed with a MONO-SOCK™ upper that gently hugs your foot in key support zones. When standing in each shoe with your full weight on the foot, it’s best to have between half and a full thumb's width between the end of the longest toe and the end of the shoe.

OUR VERDICT The ASICS Gel Cumulus 23 continues the Cumulus tradition of being a versatile, neutral daily trainer that you can rely on for hundreds of kilometres. Wrapping the foot with an even softer feel, the engineered mesh upper adds strategic support in targeted areas while leaving some of the fibers more open to improve breathability. A very durable and consistent training shoe that is best for daily training miles, the Asics Gel-Cumulus 23 makes small tweaks from Version 22 to keep the tradition. They are a bit clunky when trying to pick up the pace and the cushioning is better for protection than trying to pick up the pace. We will advise you what to do and refund you, including the original postage charges, within 30 days.

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. In addition, all data is securely transmitted using SSL encoding and we do not save any bank or credit card information. In addition, the textile lining and seamless upper eliminate the risk of unpleasant rubbing that can lead to chafing. I think there was some extra material that was folding under, which was a bit annoying but not a deal-breaker. The GEL-Cumulus 23 fits me mostly true to size, maybe slightly short, in my normal US men's size 10.Ahead of many Asics shoes with the change to a full ground contact outsole 3-4 years ago, the newest version makes some changes to soften the ride, widen the fit and make it a bit more accommodating. Nimbus Lite has a very noticeable bounce to its ride, unlike the Cumulus which has a more traditional firm feel.

The Cumulus also transitions more smoothly for me and has a more even underfoot feel from heel to forefoot. Under the heel where the foot first hits the ground has been redesigned to isolate impact while the new heel design's deeper forefoot flex grooves and softer midsole foam create a smoother ride. Walking around in the Cumulus 23, I could feel that the layer directly underfoot was less spongy than the Nimbus 23 with less of a sink-in sensation. Step into our virtual sole matcher which will pick out the shoes most suited to your feet based on just a few simple questions.The GEL-Cumulus 23 just doesn’t do much for me, and something about it also just feels a little cheap to me. The women’s version has it on the heel and forefoot, whereas the men’s version only has it on the heel.
