Hello,
I am going into my 2nd season of XC for my Senior Year of high school and I wanted to know which shoes I should buy. Right now I have the Asics Gel Cumulus 13.
I have to decide between the Asics Gel Cumulus 13 v.s the Asics Gel Nimbus 13...
I can either buy a new pair of my old shoes or I can buy a new type... The Nimbus 13...
I will be building 200+ miles in 9 weeks so I wanted to know which pair would be better...
Thanks in advance!
I would probably save my money and go with the Cumulus. It's doubtful you need super high-end cushioning.
I'm not worried about money either. I get a 15% off Father's Day Weekend Sale and I get free Asics socks too :)
How much do you weigh? How long do your shoes normally last? If you're over 180, I might consider the Nimbus. If you tend to wear through your shoes very quickly, I'd consider the Nimbus. Other than that, I'd stick with what you know works.
Cumulus it is then. I only weigh 121 and my Cumulus have lasted me a whole XC and a whole Track season and I even started building mileage with them. They have really lasted me. Both types weigh the same.
get a racing shoe if you can (if your asking for a shoe to race in that is), if you want just a training shoe then go with what works for you
