The ASICS GEL-CUMULUS 27 is engineered to deliver consistent comfort and protection for your daily runs, particularly over medium to long distances. Its combination of PureGEL™ technology, FF BLAST™ PLUS foam, and FluidRide™ outsole works synergistically to create a plush yet responsive ride. This translates to:
Comfortable Long Runs: The ample cushioning helps mitigate fatigue over extended mileage, allowing you to maintain comfort and focus.
Joint Protection: Runners with sensitive joints or those looking to minimize impact will appreciate the superior shock absorption, making each step feel softer.
Smooth, Effortless Stride: The FluidRide™ outsole and updated midsole geometry promote seamless transitions, reducing energy expenditure and contributing to a more natural running motion.
Daily Training Partner: This shoe excels as a go-to option for everyday training, recovery runs, and preparing for endurance events, where comfort is paramount. It’s a reliable choice for consistent performance on paved surfaces.
Lacing: Ensure proper lacing technique. Start with the laces loose, then tighten evenly from the toes upwards, securing a snug fit without excessive pressure.
Sock Choice: Wear appropriate running socks (moisture-wicking, seamless) to prevent blisters and optimize comfort.
Break-In Period: While comfortable from the start, allow for a few short runs to fully adapt to the shoe's cushioning and fit.
Runner Type: Ideal for neutral runners seeking a highly cushioned experience.
Running Surface: Optimized for road running, pavements, and track surfaces.
User: Designed for adult male runners (UK size 13).
Running Distance: Best suited for daily training, medium to long-distance runs, and recovery efforts.
Cleaning: Hand wash your shoes with mild soap (like dish soap) and cold water. Use a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub dirty areas. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators), which can damage materials. Stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
Odor Control: Remove insoles after runs to allow both the shoe interior and insoles to air out and dry. Consider using shoe deodorizers or baking soda.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in a hot car or damp environments.
Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of shoes to allow each pair to fully dry out and extend their lifespan.
