FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for serious long-distance running?

The Gel-Cumulus 16 was originally a long-distance running shoe. This re-engineered model is highly comfortable and suitable for light running and everyday use, offering excellent cushioning. For high-performance, competitive long-distance running, ASICS offers newer models with the very latest athletic innovations.

How do I determine my correct size?

We recommend checking the ASICS size guide. It's often best to measure your foot length and compare it to the brand's specific chart. Many users find ASICS trainers to be true to size, but individual foot shape can vary.

What is the difference between FLYTEFOAM and GEL technology?

FLYTEFOAM is a lightweight midsole foam that provides responsive bounce-back and energy return. GEL technology, on the other hand, is a silicone-based cushioning material strategically placed in key areas (like the heel and forefoot) to absorb impact and provide targeted shock absorption.

Can I machine wash my ASICS Gel-Cumulus 16 Trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the trainers. Always clean them by hand using mild soap and cold water, then air dry.

What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?

For optimal comfort and to manage moisture, we recommend wearing athletic socks made from moisture-wicking synthetic blends or technical fabrics. Cotton socks can retain moisture and lead to discomfort.

Will the 2010s aesthetic fade or change over time?

The 2010s aesthetic refers to the design language and silhouette of the shoe, which is a fixed characteristic. The materials and colors will maintain their appearance with proper care, though normal wear and tear may occur over time like any footwear.

Troubleshooting

My trainers feel a bit tight or loose.

First, re-evaluate your lacing technique. Ensure laces are evenly tightened from the toe to the ankle. If still an issue, confirm you have the correct size for your foot length and width. Consider wearing different sock thicknesses.

The trainers are making a squeaking sound.

This can sometimes happen with new shoes as materials settle. Check if there's any debris trapped between the insole and the midsole, or on the outsole. If the squeaking persists, it usually resolves itself after a short break-in period. A light application of baby powder under the insole can sometimes help.

My feet get hot or sweaty.

While the trainers feature an airy mesh, factors like sock material and ambient temperature can influence comfort. Ensure you're wearing moisture-wicking socks. If the problem persists, ensure the trainers are well-ventilated after each use, removing insoles if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Getting Started (Setup)

  1. Lacing: Ensure your trainers are laced comfortably. Start with the laces loose at the toe box and gradually tighten them towards the ankle for a secure yet non-restrictive fit. Utilize all eyelets to provide optimal support.
  2. Initial Wear: Wear your trainers for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your feet. This 'break-in' period helps maximize comfort.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for adults and are suitable for a wide range of activities including:

  • Everyday casual wear
  • Walking and urban exploration
  • Light jogging or short-distance running
  • General fitness activities and gym use

They pair well with athletic wear, jeans, and casual trousers, making them a versatile addition to your wardrobe.

Product Care

Proper care extends the lifespan and maintains the appearance of your ASICS Gel-Cumulus 16 Trainers:

  • Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water. Gently scrub the mesh and synthetic areas. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks, a shoe cleaner specifically designed for trainers can be used. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or using heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
  • Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. You can use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  • Odour Control: If odours develop, remove insoles and air out. Shoe deodorizers or baking soda sachets can also help.
