FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the Gel-Cumulus 28 is designed for daily training and provides sufficient cushioning for high-mileage runs, including marathon preparation.
What does the 8 mm drop mean?
The drop refers to the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot; an 8 mm drop is considered a moderate, versatile standard for neutral running shoes.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are designed with breathable mesh for ventilation and are not waterproof or water-resistant.
Can I replace the insole with custom orthotics?
Yes, the insoles in the Gel-Cumulus 28 are removable and can be replaced with personal orthotics if needed.
How long should these shoes last?
Typically, road trainers like these provide optimal performance for 300 to 500 miles, depending on the runner's weight, running style, and surface conditions.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure or rubbing on the top of the foot
Try adjusting your lacing pattern. An 'under-over' lacing method or skipping the eyelet where the pressure occurs can alleviate discomfort.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Use the extra top eyelet to create a 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' to increase security around the ankle collar.
Outsole wearing down quickly
Inspect your running gait for heavy scuffing and ensure the shoes are only used on road surfaces as intended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Asics Gel-Cumulus 28, follow these guidelines:
- Fit Check: Ensure there is approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during runs.
- Break-in Period: While these shoes offer immediate comfort, a short 10-20 mile break-in period is recommended to allow the foam to adapt to your specific foot shape.
- Cleaning: To maintain the integrity of the foam and upper materials, clean by hand using a soft cloth, mild soap, and cold water. Never machine wash or tumble dry your trainers, as high heat can degrade the cushioning properties.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature breakdown of the midsole foam.
