Are the Asics Cumulus good shoes?

Nike pegasus 36 trail.

New Balance Fuel Cell Propel has been available on Amazon for $25-$35, depending on your size, and fits what you need. I like Nike Pegasus better, but for the cheap price, the Propels are well worth it.

The ASICS that you’re talking about are too soft. I forget which is which, but one is stability and one is nearest, right? Brooks Adrenaline GTS and Ghost are better versions of those ASICS.

I am a Cumulus wearer but am ditching them. They’re OK and I haven’t got hurt but have some shortcomings: they’re slow (definitely no tempos), and not too bouncy/supportive despite a lot of foam and weight.

I switched to the Saucony ISO Ride 2 which are similar weight, feel very protected and comfortable like the Cumulus, but have a good deal more bounce and cushion you can feel. I still wouldn’t tempo in them but I can cruise at 6:45-7:15 (MP or slightly slower) and they feel good. Ideal for easy/recovery days. I’d recommend the Adidas Boston for faster stuff and people here like the Peg Turbo 2s as well.

I have a pair. I use them for recovery runs and slower days and I like them for that.

I will tell you that compared to other shoes I have, they are quite heavy. You won't do any speedwork in them.

I have a pair of Cumulus right now and find them stiff. They loosened up a little after 3-4 runs, but I just don't love them. I'm frugal so I want to get miles out of them, but I won't buy another pair once they are shot.

The nimbus is big, heavy and looks like it could survive a nuclear blast, however the fastest man at my club wears them. The cumulus are similar.

They cost a lot of £££ but the cumulus and nimbus seem to be durable...

Thank for all infromation. I'm looking at this model

Surprised no one has mentioned Reebok Forever's. Cushion level is that of a Pegasus 36. Pegasus 36 are on sale($60-75) Both of these I don't think you can judge at the first couple of runs as they seem to have some issues, but once past 25miles they wear in. Pegasus the arch seems like it's too high, Reebok the heel collar too high.

Both of these though seem to excel at being a workhorse and once they're worn in you can run and focus on good form and not be sore because of shoes.

I recently finished testing the new Cumulus 22. It's not a perfect shoe, but I quite enjoyed it - definitely an improvement over the 21. A good choice for a high-mileage runner of neutral runner looking for a solid, well-cushioned platform. Not particularly exciting, but no glaring faults, either.
