Full details
The ASICS Gel-Cumulus 27 is a versatile neutral trainer designed for runners who prioritize long-distance comfort and smooth transitions.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
The Gel-Cumulus 27 is a neutral trainer. While it provides excellent cushioning, those requiring significant stability for overpronation might consider an ASICS model specifically designed for stability.
Can I use these for trail running?
These are designed for road and paved surfaces. Using them on technical trails may cause premature wear of the outsole and provide insufficient grip.
How often should I replace them?
Generally, running shoes lose their structural integrity and cushioning between 300 and 500 miles, depending on your running surface and weight.
Is the upper breathable?
Yes, the jacquard mesh upper is specifically engineered to provide maximum airflow for hot-weather training.
Do these run true to size?
Most runners find the Gel-Cumulus line runs true to standard athletic shoe sizing, though it is always recommended to have a thumb's width of space at the front of the toe box.
Troubleshooting
Upper mesh feeling tight after long runs
Feet naturally swell during exercise. Try adjusting your lacing technique to a 'runner's loop' or looser tension in the forefoot area.
Slippage in the heel area
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the shoe to perform a 'heel lock' lacing method to secure the ankle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Cumulus 27 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: While comfortable out of the box, perform a few shorter runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot strike.
- Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains. Avoid using a washing machine, as this can break down the adhesives.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the mesh and foam.
- Rotation: To extend the life of the cushioning, rotate between two pairs of shoes to allow the foam to fully decompress between runs.
