ASICS Men''s GEL-Cumulus 12 Running Shoe

A little about me, I''m a regular runner, cover 5 miles 2 or 3 times a week, 6''2 190 lbs with high arches and narrow feet.I have tried most of the New Balance, Nike, Adidas running shoes atleast once and I must say the very first time I put on these Asics, it was like heaven!I am a mid-foot striker so I like a lot of fore-foot cushioning and most shoes seem to load all the cushioning in the heel, not these Asics.My only con would be that I need one more eyelet to keep the shoe firmly in place for me (very narrow heels).I''ve had these for a little over a month and have seen no drop off in cushioning or ride.I do have some after market insoles that I always use and swap out every 6 weeks.For bigger guys with high arches, I couldn''t think of a better shoe.

I''ve been buying ASICS for years. Recently I replaced an older Cumulus pair with these and I have to say I don''t like them as much.They feel heavy and awkward. Does it have anything to do with the "wide" sole under the heel?

Also, the back upper edge of the shoe is weirdvery hard and not comfortable. The cushioning seems focused on the heel. I''m looking for a shoe that cushions the front of the footarch forward. Anyone have a suggestion?

That said, it is very comfortable as a walking shoe but it is not comfortable for running. I would never pay this much for a walking shoe.

I am 6''-6" and 240lbs and run marathons....Its easy for me to flatten a normal cushioning shoe and wear it out fast.I did however get 425 miles out of my current ASICS CUMULUS and the tread is still nice and thick...I will however change them out as I am sure I broke the cushioning out long ago with my fat arse. I only got 300 miles out of the Saucony Hurricanes before wearing down the tread so these are better.

This shoe is a bit ''soft'' from what I am used to, but well cushioned.Almost like driving a Cadillac.Because of all the cushioning the shoe feel heavier and wider.However compared to a lot of other shoes I''ve tried, these seem to do me the best all-around comfort-wise and I like to race in these.For training I do prefer something a bit stiffer cushioning to hold up to the endless weekly mileage like the Saucony Progrid Rides and Glides.

Be aware this is a neutral, cushioning shoe....not for overpronators.

Someone lighter than me might not find it soft, but this review is for the heavies out there.

I bought these for my boyfriend.I have the women''s pair.We both love them.My boyfriend''s foot strike is somewhere in the middle and he said he''s had no aches or pains wearing these.Im a forefoot striker with a history with plantar fascitis.They support my strike and heels very well.Ive run a full marathon and trained in them.They are pretty thick for us so we both wear thin socks with these shoes.No problem during the run and after.Highly recommended
