Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GEL-CUMULUS 16 trainers are designed for adult males seeking exceptional comfort and support for everyday wear. Their key benefit lies in the advanced cushioning system that protects joints and provides a smooth ride. A potential caveat is that while versatile, they are primarily designed for running and athletic activities, not heavy-duty work. These trainers feature a breathable mesh upper, FLYTEFOAM and FLUIDRIDE midsole technologies for responsive cushioning, and the signature GEL cushioning system for shock absorption. The durable rubber outsole offers reliable traction, and the design incorporates eco-friendly practices like water-saving dye processes.

FAQs
What is the main benefit of the GEL cushioning system?
The GEL cushioning system is designed to absorb shock effectively during impact, providing superior comfort and protecting your joints from stress during activities like running and walking.
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
The GEL-CUMULUS 16 offers excellent cushioning for regular runs and training. For marathon distances, runners who require maximum stability or specific support features might prefer a shoe engineered with more advanced stability elements.
How do I clean my ASICS GEL-CUMULUS 16 trainers?
Clean them by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing and drying them with direct heat. Allow them to air dry naturally.
What does 'FLYTEFOAM' technology do?
FLYTEFOAM is an advanced midsole material that provides exceptional bounce-back and durability. It works with FLUIDRIDE to offer lightweight cushioning and a responsive feel.
Can these trainers be used for gym workouts?
Yes, the ASICS GEL-CUMULUS 16 can be used for gym workouts, especially those involving cardio or light training. However, for activities requiring lateral support, such as weightlifting, a cross-training shoe might be more appropriate.
What is the environmental benefit mentioned?
The insole is dyed using a special process that significantly reduces water consumption and CO2 emissions compared to traditional dyeing methods.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug but not constricting, with no excessive pressure points.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing them with different types of socks. Break them in gradually with shorter wear periods before longer activities.
Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time
This is normal wear. The cushioning technologies will naturally degrade with extensive use. Consider replacing them after significant mileage or if comfort noticeably decreases.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the rubber outsole offers traction, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be limited. Exercise caution in such conditions. Ensure the outsole is free of debris.
Mesh upper appears dirty or stained
Spot clean gently with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Rinse the cloth and wipe away soap residue. Allow to air dry.

Care:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and material integrity.
