FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for walking?
Yes, while primarily designed for running, the high level of cushioning and comfort in the ASICS Gel-Cumulus 27 makes them an excellent choice for walking as well.
What is PureGEL technology?
PureGEL is ASICS' advanced cushioning technology strategically placed in key impact areas, like the heel, to provide enhanced shock absorption and a softer landing, contributing to a smoother ride.
What is FlyteFoam Blast+ cushioning?
FlyteFoam Blast+ is a lightweight and energetic foam material used in the midsole. It delivers exceptional bounce and comfort, providing a responsive feel with every step.
How often should I replace my running shoes?
The general recommendation for running shoe replacement is every 300 to 500 miles, or approximately every 4-6 months for regular runners. This can vary based on your running style, weight, and terrain.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
These shoes are specifically designed for road running. While they might handle very light, non-technical trails, their outsole pattern and cushioning are not optimized for the varied terrain and grip requirements of dedicated trail running.
Are these shoes true to size?
ASICS running shoes are generally considered to fit true to size for most runners. However, fit can vary slightly per individual, so it's always recommended to try them on to ensure optimal comfort and sizing.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel uncomfortable or cause blisters.
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try different running socks, as moisture-wicking materials can reduce friction. Allow for a break-in period; some shoes need a few runs to conform to your foot.
Cushioning feels less responsive over time.
Running shoes have a lifespan, typically 300-500 miles, after which cushioning degrades. Consider if it's time to replace your shoes. Also, ensure you're using them for their intended purpose (road running) to maximize durability.
Shoes feel slippery on wet roads.
While designed for road grip, extreme wet conditions can reduce traction. Adjust your stride and pace to be more cautious on wet or slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole tread is clean and free of embedded debris.

Care
Proper care extends the life and performance of your running shoes.
- Cleaning: To clean your ASICS Gel-Cumulus 27 shoes, gently wipe off dirt and mud with a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
- Drying: After cleaning or running in wet conditions, allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can cause materials to shrink or warp.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider removing insoles occasionally to air out the interior.
- General Tip: To maintain the integrity of the cushioning and upper, it's recommended to rotate running shoes if you run frequently, giving each pair time to recover.
