FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-Cumulus 28 provides ample cushioning and comfort for long-distance running, including marathon training.
How do I know if I have the right size?
You should have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping.
Can I wear these for cross-training or gym workouts?
These trainers are primarily designed for running. While they can be used for light gym activities, they may lack the lateral support needed for more dynamic movements.
How often should I replace my Gel-Cumulus 28 trainers?
It's generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning or support.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the mesh upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to slightly damp conditions.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology is strategically placed in the midsole to provide excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your joints and enhancing comfort.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter runs. Check lacing technique for optimal pressure distribution.
Reduced cushioning over time
GEL technology cushioning can degrade with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles, depending on usage and terrain.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the outsole provides traction, performance on extremely wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt from the upper and midsole. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
