Full details

FAQs
Is the Gel-Cumulus 27 good for flat feet?
The Gel-Cumulus is a neutral trainer. While comfortable, it does not provide the arch support required for severe overpronation or flat feet.
Can these be machine washed?
No, it is recommended to clean them by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap to avoid damaging the foam adhesives.
Are these suitable for marathon training?
Yes, many runners find the Gel-Cumulus 27 to be an excellent choice for long-distance training runs due to its high-cushion platform.
How long should a pair last?
Typically, these shoes provide optimal performance for 300 to 500 miles, depending on the runner's weight and terrain.
What is the difference between this and the Gel-Kayano?
The Gel-Cumulus is a neutral shoe focused on comfort and cushioning, whereas the Gel-Kayano is a stability shoe designed to correct overpronation.
Troubleshooting
Feeling 'bottomed out' or lack of support
Check the wear pattern on the outsole. If the rubber is significantly smoothed over, the cushioning material has likely reached its effective mileage limit.
Heel slippage while running
Try using the additional top eyelet on the shoe to create a runner's lock-knot, which tightens the collar around the ankle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes last, always allow them to air dry naturally if they become damp; never place them in a clothes dryer or near direct heat sources. Remove the sockliner after heavy rain runs to help moisture evaporate faster. When fitting your trainers, ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during long runs. Use the extra eyelet at the top for a 'runner's loop' if you experience heel slippage.
