FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The GEL-CUMULUS 16 trainers are designed for lifestyle comfort and urban adventures, providing excellent plush cushioning for daily wear and walking. While they incorporate advanced cushioning technologies, they are not specifically optimized for high-intensity or long-distance running training where specialized support and stability might be required for performance athletes.
How do I determine the correct size?
ASICS trainers generally run true to size for adults. We recommend trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit. Consider your usual UK shoe size, and if you are between sizes, you may want to opt for the larger size for optimal comfort, especially if wearing thicker socks.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can severely damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning integrity of the trainers. Please refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for the proper method to clean your shoes gently by hand.
What kind of arch support do these trainers offer?
The GEL-CUMULUS 16 features a sculpted midsole and triple-layered cushioning system (FLYTEFOAM, FLUIDRIDE, GEL) designed to provide plush underfoot comfort and general support, making them suitable for individuals with a neutral gait and for everyday wear.
How durable is the outsole for daily use?
The trainers feature a durable rubber outsole that is engineered to provide reliable traction and withstand the rigors of regular urban use and daily activities. Its construction ensures longevity and consistent grip on various surfaces.
Are these shoes suitable for all seasons?
The breathable open mesh upper is ideal for warmer conditions, offering ventilation to keep your feet cool. For colder or wet weather, while the durable outsole provides traction, the mesh material may not offer significant water resistance or insulation, so consider footwear more suited for those specific conditions.
What makes the cushioning in these trainers special?
The GEL-CUMULUS 16 boasts a unique triple-layered cushioning system combining ASICS' FLYTEFOAM, FLUIDRIDE, and GEL technologies. This synergistic blend delivers exceptional plushness, superior shock absorption, and a responsive feel, providing unparalleled comfort for daily wear and urban exploration.
Troubleshooting
My shoes feel less supportive after prolonged use.
The cushioning system is designed for durability, but regular rotation with other footwear can extend its life. If you experience significant discomfort or a noticeable reduction in cushioning, it may be time to consider replacing your trainers.
The light-colored mesh upper seems to get dirty or stained easily.
For light-colored trainers, regular gentle cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is recommended to maintain their appearance. Address spills or dirt promptly to prevent stains from setting. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing vigorously.
My feet feel hot or sweaty even with the breathable mesh.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks, as cotton socks can trap moisture. If the issue persists, allow your shoes to air out completely between uses, and consider using foot powder to manage moisture and odor.
The laces frequently come undone during wear.
Ensure you are tying your laces securely, perhaps experimenting with different lacing techniques like a double knot. Over time, worn laces can be replaced with new ones for better retention.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the mesh upper and synthetic leather overlays with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or stiff brushes that could damage the material. Do not machine wash or submerge in water.
- Drying: After cleaning, air dry your trainers at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, hair dryers, or direct sunlight, as this can cause materials to warp or crack.
- Storage: Store your ASICS GEL-CUMULUS 16 trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, when not in use. This helps preserve the materials and prevents premature wear.
- Maintenance: For optimal freshness, consider removing the insoles periodically to air them out or clean them separately. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
