Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Cumulus 27 is a premium neutral running shoe designed for adult runners who prioritize long-distance comfort and joint protection. By combining advanced PureGEL shock absorption with lightweight FF BLAST PLUS foam, it provides a smooth, energized transition on various surfaces. While this shoe offers exceptional plushness and breathability, those who require significant stability support for overpronation may find the neutral platform less suited to their specific biomechanical needs.

Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Adjust the laces using a runner's loop (lock-down lacing) to secure the heel.
Feeling of dampness in the shoe
Remove the OrthoLite insole after heavy rain or sweat-inducing runs and let it air dry separately.
Loss of cushioning feel
Check if the midsole foam has been exposed to extreme heat; otherwise, it may indicate the shoe has reached its typical 500-800km usage limit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Cumulus 27s, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, perform two or three short walks or 3km runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot strike.
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. If the mesh gets stained, clean gently with mild soap and water. Never machine wash or tumble dry, as this can break down the adhesives and foam properties.
- Storage: Air dry your trainers in a cool, shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, as extreme heat can cause the foam to warp or harden.
- Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating your shoes with another pair to allow the midsole materials to recover their compression properties between runs.
