FAQs
Is the ASICS Gel-Cumulus 27 suitable for flat feet?
The Gel-Cumulus 27 is a neutral trainer. If you have severe flat feet, you may wish to use your own orthotic insoles inside the shoe.
How do I know if this is the right size?
You should have approximately a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during long runs.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, it is recommended to hand wash using mild soap and water to protect the integrity of the foam and adhesives.
How many kilometers should these shoes last?
Generally, these trainers provide optimal cushioning for 500 to 800 kilometers, depending on your running surface and gait.
Is the upper material waterproof?
No, the jacquard mesh is designed for maximum breathability and will allow water to pass through if exposed to heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping at the heel
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to increase lockdown around the ankle collar.
Accumulation of debris inside the shoe
Ensure the tongue is properly centered and consider using low-profile gaiters if running on loose trail surfaces.
Foam feeling compressed after a long run
Allow the shoes to rest for 24-48 hours; the midsole foam needs time to return to its original shape.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure the shoe is laced snugly without creating pressure points across the midfoot. The Gel-Cumulus 27 is designed for neutral runners; if you require specific arch support, ensure your orthotics are compatible with the removable sockliner. To maintain the life of the shoe:
- Clean by removing loose dirt with a soft brush.
- Use a damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning the mesh upper.
- Air dry at room temperature; avoid direct heat or direct sunlight, which can degrade the foam.
- Rotate your shoes to allow the cushioning foam to decompress fully between runs.
