Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.

Check your lacing. Loosen the laces, especially across the instep, and re-tie. Ensure you have the correct size; shoe fit can vary. Consider wearing thinner socks initially.

Squeaking sound while walking or running.

Often caused by moisture trapped between the insole and the shoe's footbed. Remove the insoles, clean and dry both the insoles and the inside of the shoes thoroughly. A small amount of baby powder under the insole can also help.

Reduced cushioning feel over time.

Cushioning materials can compress and lose responsiveness with extensive use. This is normal wear and tear. Ensure regular cleaning and proper storage. If the shoes have accumulated many miles, it might be time to consider replacement.

Foot slipping inside the shoe.

Ensure your laces are snug, especially around the ankle collar. Experiment with different lacing techniques. Also, check if your socks are appropriate (not too slick) and that the shoe size is correct.

Develops an unpleasant odor.

Remove the insoles and allow both the shoes and insoles to air out completely. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes to absorb odors, then tap out the baking soda before wearing again. Ensure shoes are completely dry after use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

First-Time Setup

  1. Lacing: Ensure the laces are securely but not overly tightly tied. Use all eyelets for optimal support and to prevent heel slippage.
  2. Break-In: While the GEL-Cumulus 16 offers immediate comfort, it's advisable to wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the shoe to mold to your foot shape before undertaking long runs or extended wear.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for adults and are compatible with various foot strike patterns, offering neutral support. They are ideal for individuals seeking a balance of cushioning, comfort, and durability for both running and general lifestyle activities.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care extends the lifespan of your ASICS GEL-Cumulus 16 Trainers:

  • Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush). For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water mixture with a cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage materials and cushioning.
  • Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), as this can cause materials to shrink or warp.
  • Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with newspaper can help maintain their shape and absorb residual moisture.
  • Odour Control: If odours develop, remove the insoles and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight.
