FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The GEL-CUMULUS 16 are designed for comfort and light training. For marathon running, consider specialized running shoes that offer advanced support and cushioning for long-distance endurance.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from an airy open-hole mesh, combined with synthetic layers for support.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for cleaning.
What does 'GEL tech cushioning' mean?
GEL tech cushioning refers to ASICS' proprietary cushioning system that uses silicone-based gel inserts to absorb shock effectively during impact.
Are these trainers available in men's sizes?
While this specific guide focuses on women's trainers, the GEL-CUMULUS 16 series is available in various sizes and often includes men's options. Please check product listings for available gender-specific models.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is 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.
What is the main benefit of the open-hole mesh?
The open-hole mesh significantly improves ventilation, allowing air to circulate freely around your feet to keep them cool and dry.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust for a more comfortable fit. If still too tight, consider if the size is correct or if break-in time is needed.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL cushioning may compress with extensive use. Regular cleaning and proper drying can help maintain material integrity.
Traction is poor on wet surfaces
The rubber sole offers good grip, but like most trainers, performance on extremely wet or slippery surfaces may be reduced. Clean the sole to ensure optimal contact.
