Performance & Real-World Use\n\nThe ASICS Gel-Cumulus 27 shoes are built to excel in road running scenarios, offering a blend of comfort and responsiveness. Runners will experience a consistently soft feel underfoot thanks to the PureGEL and FlyteFoam Blast+ cushioning, which makes daily mileage more enjoyable and reduces fatigue on longer runs. The advanced materials contribute to a feeling of being 'launched' forward with each step, creating an 'energized toe-off' that can help maintain pace and efficiency.\n\nThe FLUIDRIDE sole unit ensures that your foot transitions smoothly from heel strike to toe-off, which is crucial for maintaining a consistent gait and preventing energy loss, especially during sustained efforts. This makes the Gel-Cumulus 27 a reliable choice for various training paces and distances, from your regular 5K route to weekend long runs. They are designed to support a neutral running gait on paved surfaces, making them a go-to shoe for many road runners.
