FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
While the GEL-CUMULUS 16 offers excellent cushioning for comfort, it is primarily designed for lifestyle wear, urban walking, and light jogging. For marathon running, ASICS offers specialized performance running shoes designed for high mileage and specific running dynamics.
How do I choose the right size?
These trainers typically run true to size. We recommend measuring your foot length and comparing it to the ASICS size guide. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for a more comfortable fit, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the cushioning materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the care instructions provided, which involve hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap.
What is the benefit of the 'no-sew' upper?
The no-sew upper construction provides a smoother, more streamlined fit. It reduces potential points of irritation or rubbing that can occur with traditional stitched seams, enhancing overall comfort and contributing to a modern aesthetic.
What type of cushioning is GEL, FLYTEFOAM, and FLUIDRIDE?
These are ASICS' proprietary cushioning technologies. GEL provides shock absorption in key impact areas. FLYTEFOAM offers lightweight and durable cushioning. FLUIDRIDE is a two-layer midsole construction providing a blend of bounce-back and cushioning properties for a softer underfoot feel.
Are these trainers good for wide feet?
The standard fit is for medium-width feet. Info needed: [Please check the product specifications for availability of wide-fit options, or try them on to ensure a comfortable fit if you have wider feet].
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Check lacing to ensure it's not too tight across the top of your foot. Allow a short break-in period for the materials to conform to your feet.
My feet feel hot or sweaty.
The open mesh design provides breathability. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks. If possible, remove shoes and air them out periodically, especially after extended wear.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces.
Check the outsoles for any embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the soles to ensure maximum grip. If wear is significant, consider replacement.
Trainer material appears scuffed or dirty easily.
Regularly wipe down the synthetic leather overlays and mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent marks, a soft brush can be used carefully on the mesh sections.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the lifespan and maintain the appearance of your ASICS GEL-CUMULUS 16 trainers:
- Cleaning: For surface dirt, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
- Odour Control: If shoes develop an odour, remove insoles and air them out. Using a shoe deodorizer or stuffing them with newspaper can also help.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Avoid Submerging: Do not submerge trainers in water, as this can affect cushioning properties and material integrity.
