Full details
The ASICS Gel-Cumulus 28 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking enhanced comfort and performance on various terrains.

How do I clean my Gel-Cumulus 28 trainers?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have the correct size. Try loosening the laces to allow for more volume. If still uncomfortable, consider a half-size larger or a wider fit option if available.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time
Cushioning can degrade with significant mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles (500-800 km) of use, or when you notice a significant loss in comfort and support.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the HYBRID ASICSGRIP outsole offers good traction, extremely wet or slick surfaces can still pose a risk. Run with caution and be mindful of your footing in such conditions.
Upper material feels abrasive
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Wear them for shorter periods initially to break them in. Ensure socks are worn to prevent chafing. The engineered knit should become more pliable with use.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or submerging in water, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can cause shrinkage or material degradation.
