FAQs

What does 'Gel-Cumulus' refer to?

'Gel-Cumulus' refers to ASICS's cushioning technology, combining GEL cushioning with a lightweight, resilient midsole material to provide a soft, comfortable ride.

Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the GEL-Cumulus line is known for its cushioning capabilities, making it suitable for long-distance running, including marathons. However, individual needs and preferences may vary.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

While the listed size is UK 11.5, it corresponds to a US 9.5. It is recommended to check ASICS's official sizing chart or try them on if possible to ensure a proper fit, as foot shapes vary.

What is the benefit of the solution dyeing process for the sockliner?

Solution dyeing significantly reduces water consumption and carbon emissions during the sockliner's manufacturing process, making it a more environmentally conscious choice.

Can these trainers be used for trail running?

The GEL-Cumulus 16 trainers are primarily designed for road running. While the rubber outsole offers some traction, they are not specialized for the demands of trail running and may lack sufficient grip and protection.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is constructed with a combination of open mesh underlays for breathability and glossy synthetic leather overlays for structure and support. It also features no-sew panels.

How should I clean my GEL-Cumulus 16 trainers?

Spot clean using a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or soaking the shoes. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit. Check for any foreign objects inside the shoe and consider wearing them with appropriate athletic socks.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time

The cushioning may naturally decrease after significant mileage. Consider replacing the shoes after 300-500 miles of running, or when signs of wear are evident on the midsole.

Slipping on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole provides traction, but performance on very wet or slick surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready for use upon purchase. Ensure proper lacing for a secure and comfortable fit before your first wear.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Spot clean with a mild detergent and a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  • Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can degrade the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and material integrity.
