Recently, ASICS has been pushing the boundaries of innovation and has launched some very exciting shoes. In a world where daily trainers have carbon plates and super foam midsoles, the dependable ASICS Cumulus 23 still doesn’t feel like a boring shoe. The GEL-Cumulus 23 just doesn’t do much for me, and something about it also just feels a little cheap to me.They could add a bevel, they could soften the durometer of the posterior lateral foam more so it compresses easier. I had a little heel slip, but there’s a second lace hole at the top of the patter and the laces are long enough to do a modified lacing technique that solved any issues. Good for standing, okay for running, but terrible for any extended walking as foot tends to slide forward because of the rather linear 10 mm heel-toe drop and forefoot cushioning is also very soft, forcing the toes to do most of the work lifting off rather than the ball of the foot. Subtle updates continue the tradition of consistency, so previous Cumulus wearers have no major reason for concern. The density of the rubber on the Cumulus 23 is higher than that of the Nimbus 23 which leads to firmer landings but increased durability.

You’ll find great support in the heel and ankle area, so consider it a stable shoe without all the bells and whistles of a stability shoe. I think there was some extra material that was folding under, which was a bit annoying but not a deal-breaker. This version is also formed with a MONO-SOCK™ upper that gently hugs your foot in key support zones. Sam: The Cumulus 23 evolves quite significantly in this iteration with 1mm more stack height of FlyteFoam, the elimination of the Propel foam heel insert, a new gender specific 3D Space Construction of pillars at the top of the midsole that adapt to runners’ strike styles (and gender) and a new outsole pattern said by ASICS to “increase comfort, flexibility and for a smoother ride.

Place your right foot (or your stronger, longer foot) diagonally, so that it fits completely within the sheet of paper. The 3D Space Construction is gender specific in the sense the pillars are only at the heel in the men’s and at both heel and forefoot in the women’s as women seem to prefer a softer forefoot. With the 1mm of additional Flytefoam also in the mix this is clearly a more cushioned softer feeling Cumulus placing it closer to the NImbus Lite 2than before.

Amazing comfort and next-level style is what you can expect from the Asics women's running shoe in blue, which was released in Winter 2022. And, if you are planning on increasing your run-time, the highly resistant rubber compound reduces wear at key impact areas of the outsole.I’m struggling at the moment to find a new shoe – running in Brooks Transcend so thought about Glycerin gts? I’ve never really had an Asics shoe that doesn’t last 400 miles, and I don’t foresee the Gel Cumulus 23 lasting under 400 miles. I enjoyed the Cumulus 23 most on middle distance runs at easy or steady paces but if I only had one running shoe and it was the Cumulus 23, I’d be very happy with it because it can also handle a variety of different distances and paces. It does not remind of the more perimeter focused longitudinal outsole of the Novablast with its very deep central grooves and narrower midfoot midsole and outsole profile.
