ASICS GEL-Cumulus 20

Have used Cumulus since 17. These are much better than the 19 with a wider toe box but are a bit stiffer.

I hadn't wore Asics for 15yrs because at the time the ride and fit were becoming mediocre so I moved on to Brooks. This shoe has much of the same ride that I missed from Asics many years ago. The only con is the upper is very tight and the laces are too short.

Great all-around shoe for everyday easy/long runs. Best for neutral footstrike. Well cushioned and comfortable, and I sometimes wear them to the gym and casually as well. Since I started running in the Cumulus I haven't been running tons of mileage, but I would have no concerns about using it for heavier training.

I had previously run in the Asics Landreth, and Cumulus has become my go-to after the Landreth was discontinued.

The Asics Cumulus 20 are quite different compared to the previous models. The shoe is lot more rigid, with less cushioning in the heel. The sole of the shoe is also much flatter. While the shoe does still offer a relatively light ride, the comfort level has definitely been compromised compared to earlier versions of the Cumulus model.

Sometimes I feel like shoe companies intentionally make their shoes less durable than they could be, just so they can sell more pairs.

Have run in some form of cumulus for over 10 years, and I really like this shoe for my neutral stride, and good cushioning. But my biggest complaint is durability, they never seem to last as long as I hope, at least for the price. But now days I try to buy the older model on amazon for better value, per mile. I think running in salty, wet, conditions in the northeast, and going on trails in the mud all summer doesn't help their durability.

I was amazed by the firmess of the ride when I first ran in these, having previously run in Adidas Glide Boost Supernova, which are super plush by comparison. But I definitely like the racy, responsive feel of these. Despite giving a firm ride, they're not uncomfortable and I've enjoyed many hundreds of blister-free miles in them.

The toe box is very roomy, and the upper is also naturally vented meaning that it keeps feet relatively sweat free.

These are a neutral shoe and I'm a bit of an overpronator - but having suffered with arch blisters courtesy of support shoes that dug into my arches, I'm happy that these seem to provide me with just enough support. I've not had any aches or injuries whilst wearing these, and I'm now on my second pair.

The only downside is that I noticed that the tread started to show signs of significant wear after just a hundred miles, but the shoes themselves didn't start to lose support until well over 450 miles (I'm a 5ft 6' 58kg female) and were replaced at 500 miles with another pair. The toe area of the left shoe also wore through to the base material from running on the track once a week.

I wouldn't say these are particularly mind-blowing shoes, and I'd go as far to say that many people won't like the firm ride, but they have been pretty good for my needs, if just a tad uninspiring.

The bounce is good and the flexibility is good, but these shoes don't have the same cushion that I prefer in the Nimbus. They have great road-feel, though. They are also good for someone who needs minimal padding.

Been running in the cumulus since college and it always feels great on my foot. Plenty of cushion for me without being too heavy and I can do tempo and fartlek runs in them on gravel and dirt trails without feeling weighed down or like they are too bulky. The cumulus line has been a go to for me and the 20 is no different. Although, the colors mostly suck, which is pretty standard from ASICS men's shoes.

Like most Asics nowadays, this thing is a resounding "fine." Good cushioning, lasting well after 200 miles, but very stiff (mostly in the heel) and not much energy return off the ground, which is odd because the cushioning doesn't feel super duper squishy. I'd take the comparable Brooks Ghost or Nike Pegasus over this one.
