ASICS GEL-Cumulus 19

I use it for everything, if we have to do reps in the winter when I don’t care much if I need to run fast, to the long runs.

Wore Asics in MS and HS, when I ran the most competitively. Into college, I tried different brands while injured to try and help recovery. None really helped, but worked thru Saucony, New Balance, I think even Reebok for a time. Was wearing Salomon trail runnings for a few years until finally going back to Asics thanks to our local bargain outlet (Deals & Steals). The Cumulus fits my wider forefoot and narrow heel, the heel cup doesn't slip like most other brands, and it's got enough cushioning (for the first 300 miles) to keep the PF at bay. I wore that pair 400 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail. No foot problems. Since then I've gotten 4 pair a year.

This shoe is quite heavy and as such you are aware of it when running sometimes. That said, it is very well-cushioned both within soft pads in the lining as well as sole cushioning. This makes it very good for preventing injury. After about 600 miles the sole has worn almost completely away on one side. However, it still (I will be buying a new pair though...)

These are a solid every training shoe. They’re high support and a bit clunky, but I don’t mind. They have a lot of support and are a bit stiff when breaking them in. No complaints, they’re a good pair of trainers worth the money. Only complaint is thAt the fabric on the top of the toe box does feel a bit thin, but it doesn’t bother me much.

If you need a neutral shoe or supinate slightly this is a solid choice. It's not the lightest nor the heaviest, cushioned pretty well and is of decent build quality. It's deep enough to accommodate orthotics and has a nice supportive feel on the back of the heel.

I like to have two active pairs of trainers and I always like the Gel-Cumulus to be one of them. The other is typically a lighter pair of trainers. I get about 600 miles out of each pair, I have only had one injury while they were my trainers and it was a stress fracture while doubling my mileage freshman year of college, so no blame on the shoe. I have ran 4 ultras (50mi-100k) in them on trails and they worked very well for this task as well.

I run on the roads a lot and I have arch problems, and this shoe has been great for that. It provides enough cushioning, so it doesn't feel like I'm slamming my foot on the ground, but not too much that it feels soft. Would recommend!
