I got them as a gift for my mother after my own experience with the asics nimbus 24. They are a more affordable option with the same technology as the company's more expensive models (FF Blast). They have thick fabric on the upper part, so I imagine they will withstand the test of time, but if mishandled, wear and tear will definitely occur much faster, just like with any other shoe.
Purchased in November 2023, used for walking and work.
Positive:
They are quite spacious in the front and on the sides, lightweight, and can be worn comfortably for many hours without tiring the foot.
Negative:
The upper part is very sensitive, easily gets punctured, so it requires attention. Also, the inner part of the heel tore in both shoes within 2 months. The sole shows significant wear and the shoe slips on dry pavement after 4 months. Additionally, because it is foamy, it punctures relatively easily.
Conclusion:
Recommended for work or walking, but unfortunately they showed significant wear. However, I am quite satisfied because they are very comfortable shoes.
Nice shoes, quite good quality but different sizing compared to my previous Nike sports shoes. The Nike size 44.5, which corresponds to 28.5 centimeters, is 28.25 in Asics, so the 0.25 difference can create a problem for some, like myself, in terms of shoe comfort.
Finally, Asics realized its mistake and now its soles are harder than last year's models, which were so soft that they basically had no shock absorption.
Compared to the Kayano 30, the sole is softer. Overall, it's a good shoe.
I have two observations to make: 1: while walking or running they are okay, when I sit and wear them after a while I feel them tightening on my foot, I don't know why. 2) the tongue on one shoe from the inside to the two ends has frayed a bit and the foam inside is visible, on the other shoe it is fine. Otherwise, satisfied.
The shoes are amazing!!
At the 82 euros I got them, they have no rival!!
Very beautiful, lightweight, comfortable as you expect from asics. I have no opinion on durability. But the shoes are flawless. Only the nimbus are one click above.
At the store I went to and saw them, they told me that they have the sole of the Nimbus 24, so the sole is amazing. I obviously wanted the Nimbus 25, but they are unaffordable due to their prices, so I got these ones that I found on sale for 90 and they are totally worth it. After 3 months of use, I still feel them supportive and bouncy, giving you a push while running. They are worth it.
I am impressed by how such a good shoe and new model has so many discounts. Is it because the other models from Asics (Nimbus 25, Novablast 3, Kayano 30) are more popular? I tried it first along with the aforementioned Asics models, the GT2000, Nike Pegasus 40, Nike Vomero 16, Saucony Ride 16, and On Cloudsurfer 7 (the latter out of curiosity, it's awesome but not as stable). Basically, I was looking for a neutral to stable shoe that has a different geometry from my other pair, the Puma Deviate Nitro 2 (my pace is usually around 4:45-5:45 minutes/km, by the way).
When I tried it after the Nimbus, Novablast, and Cloudsurfer, it felt clearly "harder". But I didn't want maximum softness because I wanted some stability as well. The GT2000 was harder, the Ride 16 was about the same (maybe slightly harder but also slightly more responsive), and the Nike shoes felt clearly harder and generally less comfortable. Everything is relative, of course. When I got the Pegasus 40 months ago (which I use for walking), they felt very comfortable (and they are). Now that I'm using the Cumulus (and I've forgotten the feeling of the Nimbus), they seem incredibly comfortable and cushioned (and stable). So much so that I also use them for walking (as long as they're still clean!). It's a perfect feeling for walking if you don't mind the bulk, and I also think the color (beige/white) is very nice.
In running, I have done about 50 km so far and I haven't been disappointed at all. Whether for easy running or fast (but not sprinting), it feels very good, although a bit bulky (but you get used to it because it's very lightweight for its bulk). It weighs exactly the same as the Deviate Nitro 2, even though it is much bulkier (but the Deviate also has the plate). It doesn't give you the "professional" feeling of the Puma shoes (which are like racing shoes, with a great fit on the upper and a responsive sole), but it's a different type of shoe. The Cumulus is a "luxury" everyday training (and walking) shoe. At the prices it is now, around 100 euros, it is perhaps the best purchase and I highly recommend it.
Very good athletic soft cushioning and quite stable.
They are not as soft as the nimbus 24, but due to the stability they provide, they make a very worthwhile choice, especially for their price.
I have them for 1 week, they are comfortable, lightweight, for everyday use. I just don't know how much their sole will withstand, it doesn't seem very durable.
Bought for 83.5 euros. Weighs 267 grams in size 42.5. It is a running shoe, the 25 has improved from the previous one. It has material that keeps the foot stable, soft cushioning. The sole has great absorption and responsiveness, it helps a lot in running. The fabric is stretchy but for me it is a bit thick even though it does not raise the temperature in the feet. The tongue with elastic keeps your foot in place while running, but the heel is thick and has an inner cushion.
Perhaps the best and softest lightweight stability shoe I have run in. Huge difference. Highly recommend. Excellent for recovery as well. Feels plush but with stability and wide fit. It's like Nimbus 24 + stability.
