The ASICS Gel-Cumulus 27 Running Shoes are designed for runners seeking exceptional comfort and superior shock absorption during daily training and long distances. Featuring advanced PureGEL technology, increased FF BLAST PLUS foam, and a FLUIDRIDE sole, these shoes offer a remarkably soft and smooth running experience. While providing extensive cushioning, runners should ensure the fit is appropriate for their foot type to maximize comfort and performance.
PureGEL Technology: Strategically integrated to significantly improve softness and shock absorption, reducing impact on your joints with every stride.

Engineered Mesh Upper: Offers excellent breathability and a secure, adaptive fit that moves with your foot.
Durable Outsole Design: Provides reliable traction and extends the lifespan of the shoe, suitable for various road surfaces.

The ASICS Gel-Cumulus 27 is engineered to be a workhorse daily trainer, excelling particularly on road surfaces for neutral runners. Its core strength lies in providing a consistently comfortable and protective ride, making it suitable for a wide range of training activities.
Daily Mileage: The combination of PureGEL and FF BLAST PLUS foam makes these shoes an excellent choice for your everyday runs, absorbing the repetitive impact of pavement and reducing fatigue over time.
Long Distances: Runners tackling half-marathons, marathons, or simply extended training sessions will appreciate the sustained cushioning. The technologies work together to maintain comfort and support mile after mile, helping to prevent discomfort and protect joints.
Recovery Runs: When your legs are feeling tired, the softness and shock absorption of the Gel-Cumulus 27 can make recovery runs feel more manageable and less taxing on your body.
Smoother Ride: The FLUIDRIDE sole is designed to facilitate a more natural and efficient foot strike, making your transitions feel smoother and less jarring, especially during longer runs.
For example, during a 10km run, you would notice the soft landing provided by the PureGEL and the energetic rebound from the FF BLAST PLUS foam, helping you maintain a consistent pace with less strain. The breathable upper also ensures your feet remain comfortable, even as your effort increases.
Your ASICS Gel-Cumulus 27 shoes require minimal setup. Simply unbox, lace them up, and adjust to your preferred fit. We recommend wearing them for a few short walks or light runs to allow the shoes to naturally mold to your feet before embarking on longer distances.
Running Surface: Primarily designed for road running, asphalt, and paved paths. They can handle light, well-maintained gravel paths but are not recommended for technical trail running.
Runner Type: Best suited for neutral runners who do not require significant stability control. Runners with mild pronation might still find them comfortable due to the ample cushioning.
Activity: Ideal for daily training, long-distance running, recovery runs, and general fitness walking.
Proper care extends the life of your running shoes and maintains their performance.
Cleaning: After each run, gently brush off any loose dirt or mud. For deeper cleaning, use a soft cloth or brush with mild soap (e.g., dish soap) and cool water to spot clean soiled areas. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive brushes.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes. Remove the insoles and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, or tumble dryers, as high heat can damage materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Do not store them in sealed plastic bags, as this can trap moisture and promote odor.
Insoles: Remove and air out your insoles regularly to prevent odor build-up.
Avoid Washing Machine: Do not machine wash your running shoes, as this can damage the structural integrity, cushioning, and adhesives.
