I am a ultra runner and primarily am outside. However, for treadmill days I wear Asics only and these have been wonderful. I have run faster and longer on the treddy, no blisters, and no foot fatigue with these shoes. Its awesome!

I am a neutral runner that needs a lot of cushioning. Had worn the gel-nimbus for over a year and started getting severe blisters with the latest nimbus upgrade. The cumulus is not quite as cushiony as the nimbus but still provides a great deal of comfort and less weight. Very happy with this shoe. I wear an 8W in normal shoes and by a 9W in Asics. Plenty of room for my awful bunions and room to for my feet to swell after a few miles.

Have tried other running shoes and continue to go back to the reliable Asics Gel! I run approximately 5-7 miles outside 5 days a week. Other sneakers cause shin splits as well as knee and hip pain. I get about 6 -7 months out of the shoes. I hope they continue to make them!

I have been on the hunt for running shoes for years, after trying and returning many brands (right Zappos?!), I settled for Brooks (I was told these are the runners brand) and thought some of my problems were common with running with no solution. But I was finally tired of runner's toe (both physically and vainly), I ditched my Brooks for Asics Cumulus-16. I finally found a shoe that doesn't cause my toes discomfort. These have a wide enough toe box, support my ankles (even though I overpronate and these are labeled Neutral) and cushion my heels. I love these shoes and will buy them in every color and kudos to Zappos to have the hard to find 10.5!

These shoes are the most comfortable shoes I have had! I work in a hospital so I'm on my feet all day and these are amazing! Great arch support!

I run a very little bit but walk a lot. I have always worn Nike's but wanted to try something different. I liked that these came in fun colors and were made for an underpronator. They feel like walking on clouds. I've only had them a few days at this point, but am very happy with my purchase.

Purchased this shoe to wear in a concert event that required black shoes for 2-3 hours standing in a tight, limited position. These shoes provided the perfect support time and comfort. Of course, Asics cumulus are my favorite style. The 16 model fits well. I do always us order 1/2 size larger in runner in shoes.I consider this normal, true to size, for this type shoe.

Welcome the fresh color combination, I am tired of pink shoes! Asics are great shoes and the option of a D width is not common. Love the extra cushioning/shock absorbance.

These shoes seem to have a wider toe box than the Cumulus 15, which keeps my toes happy. They have amazing cushion and support for running, jump roping, and long days on my feet. I purchased the black--it's unusual to find black running shoes and these are perfect.

I went to my local running shoe store where they watch you run and I was advised to wear this particular shoe. I have a normal balance, just needed extra arch support which I bought "super feet" pads and since this shoe my foot problems have disappeared. I recommend seeing a professional to advise the right shoe/size. I was wearing a size too small. I will wear Asics for the rest of my life. Every foot is different and you need to know which is the right shoe for you.

I used to buy cheap shoes, then had problems with my feet and had to get good shoes. These really gave support for my arches and feel great on my feet. One thing is I used to get a size 8 then about a year ago I had to go to 8½ size. They changed something but they still fit my feet amazingly.

These shoes fit great and are very comfortable. I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot, so I'm very particular about my running shoes. These shoes didn't hurt my feet at all. I went up a full size from my foot length so that I can wear cushioning running socks. I'm happy with the purchase and will most likely buy another pair.

I have under rotation issues (aka supination) and this shoe was made for this issue with lots of cushioning and minimal stabilizing (which makes supination worse). I took the advice of many here who said I needed to order one half size larger than my usual size 5 shoe. I ended up ordering both the 5 and 5 1/2 and fount that the 5 1/2 fit best. I immediately walked on my treadmill and did my Leslie Sansone interval training DVD with ease. Treadmill walking, side to side movements, walking forward and backward, and much more was more cushioned and more comfortable than my other athletic shoes. The best part was that my heel did not rub the back of my right shoe, which I had trouble with in my last brand of shoes. This is the first time I have worn Asics and I believe they are better than any of the previous brands of top-name shoes that I've worked out in before. I am very pleased with my purchase!

Love these! Switching from my last pair of running shoes (Brooke's). These fit my feet like gloves! Have only treadmill ran due to cold Cleveland weather but have ran about 20 miles in them now. My feet are very happy.

These are very comfortable. I am a nurse and got them to wear at work. I got them in my usual size (9.5) and they fit well.

I love this shoe. I have metatargalsia and desperately need forefoot room to allow my metatarsal bones to spread out over a met bump that I have placed on my insole. These shoes have the fore foot room and I'm still secure through the arch and in the heel cup.

Great sneaker! I work in healthcare and have recently developed foot problems. I'm also 31 and don't want to look ridiculous wearing sneakers with "work clothes". But since I'm on my feet all day, sneakers with OTC inserts have been the best option. This style has a decent toe box with more of a rounded toe so it doesn't come off super sporty and provides some ankle stability as well. I also have this style in a multi-color pattern for fun, but the solid black (which is hard to find) works well for work. I'm tempted to buy another color since they work well for me!

These are the best sneakers yet. I have 4 pair. I would only purchase from Zappos. Great company and staff is excellent if you have any problems. Shoe is true to size and width. Recommend highly!

This is a great shoe. I have plantar fasciitis and found this shoe very comfortable while working very long hours. This shoe runs a little narrow. I suggest your order a half size up. I highly recommend for anyone who has foot problems.

I love these shoes, comfy and in style for my size 9.5 narrow flat foot. Wear soft orthotics in them. Trying to keep them nice and clean because I want them to stay pretty! Needed a 10 in this style, one foot bigger than the other.

I have long narrow flat feet and Asics fit perfectly and comfortably with my custom orthotic. Asics seem to run narrow which is perfect for me. They are not only my running shoe but everyday shoe for me.

As others have said, the shoe runs small, especially if you wear socks intended for exercise. I'm ordering up 1/2 size now.
