Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Cumulus 27 is an ideal choice for neutral runners seeking a versatile, high-comfort trainer for daily endurance runs or relaxed training sessions. By combining advanced FF BLAST PLUS cushioning with signature PureGEL technology, this shoe delivers a soft yet responsive ride that effectively minimizes impact on joints. While it excels in long-distance comfort, runners who require significant stability features for severe overpronation may find the neutral support design less suitable for their specific needs.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for high-arched feet?
Yes, as a neutral trainer, the Gel-Cumulus 27 provides the necessary cushion and flexibility that works well for neutral foot shapes and high arches.
How often should I replace my Gel-Cumulus 27?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight, or when you notice the foam no longer springs back.
Can I use custom orthotics with this shoe?
Yes, the sockliner is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if preferred.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the jacquard mesh upper is designed for maximum breathability rather than water resistance.
What is the primary difference between the Cumulus and the Nimbus series?
The Cumulus is typically more versatile and lightweight, while the Nimbus series focuses on maximum, plush cushioning for an even softer underfoot feel.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping or heel movement
Try using the 'runner's knot' or 'heel lock' lacing technique to increase security around the ankle.
Upper material showing premature wear
Ensure your toenails are trimmed to prevent friction against the inner mesh, and avoid using them for lateral-heavy sports like tennis.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Cumulus 27, follow these guidelines:
Setup: Ensure you are wearing the correct size for your gait cycle; consider wearing your preferred running socks when trying them on to account for foot expansion.
Compatibility: These are designed as neutral road trainers and perform best on pavement, asphalt, or concrete. They are not recommended for technical trail running or off-road mud.
Care:
- Clean by removing excess mud with a soft brush.
- Use a damp cloth with mild detergent to wipe away surface dirt.
- Always air-dry in a cool, shaded place. Never place shoes in a dryer or near a direct heat source like a radiator, as this can degrade the foam cushioning and adhesives.
