Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Cumulus 27 is a performance trainer designed for adult runners seeking a high-cushion, neutral shoe that excels at impact protection and smooth transitions. By integrating advanced foam technology and specialized cushioning, it provides a plush feel for long-distance training or daily fitness routines. While it offers exceptional comfort and shock absorption, runners should note that the high-stack foam profile provides a very soft ride which may feel less responsive than lightweight racing flats for high-speed interval work.

FAQs
Is the ASICS Gel-Cumulus 27 suitable for flat feet?
This model is designed as a neutral trainer. While it provides excellent cushioning, those with severe flat feet requiring high stability may need to consult a podiatrist or use custom insoles.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Typically, performance trainers like the Gel-Cumulus 27 should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While excellent for cardio and treadmill use, the high cushioning is less ideal for heavy weightlifting where a firm, stable base is required.
Are the materials breathable?
Yes, the upper is constructed from engineered mesh designed to maximize airflow and keep feet cool during training.
Does the sizing run true?
The ASICS Gel-Cumulus series generally follows standard sizing, though it is recommended to have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight after long runs
Feet naturally swell during exercise; try loosening the laces or wearing thinner performance socks.
Slippage in the heel area
Utilize the extra eyelet at the top of the shoe to perform a runner's loop or heel lock lacing technique.
Build-up of dirt in the outsole tread
Use a toothpick or soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris from the grooves to maintain traction.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure you select your correct UK size, as the Gel-Cumulus 27 offers a standard fit. If you wear custom orthotics, the internal liner is generally removable to accommodate your inserts. To maintain the integrity of the foam and outsole:
- Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as excessive heat can degrade the foam composition.
- Clean the mesh upper using a soft brush and mild soap with cold water.
- Allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or radiators.
- Rotate your trainers with another pair if running daily to allow the foam compression to reset fully.
