FAQs
How do I determine the correct UK size for these trainers?
Please try the footwear on before returning. The box or label may state a US/Euro size, which can differ from the UK size. Refer to an ASICS sizing guide or try them on in-store if possible.
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
The Gel-Cumulus 28 offers good cushioning and shock absorption, making them suitable for long-distance running like marathons for many users. However, individual preferences and biomechanics can vary.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the materials and cushioning.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL™ cushioning?
The primary benefit of GEL™ cushioning is to provide exceptional shock absorption, reducing impact forces on your feet and legs during running and other activities.
How often should I replace my Asics Gel-Cumulus trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300-500 miles (480-800 km) or when you notice a significant decrease in cushioning or support.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They are made with synthetic materials that offer breathability, which means they are not resistant to water ingress.
What type of surfaces are the non-slip treads best for?
The non-slip tread is designed to provide reliable traction on common running surfaces such as roads, pavements, and light, dry trails.
Troubleshooting
Unusual squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the shoe's components. Try cleaning the interior and exterior, and ensure the insoles are properly seated.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The GEL™ cushioning may compress with extensive use. Ensure you are using the correct size and consider replacing the shoes after significant mileage, typically between 300-500 miles.
Slipping during activity
Ensure the tread is clean and free from mud or debris. The shoes are designed for specific surfaces; check if you are using them on an inappropriate terrain for optimal grip.
