FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for hiking?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-Cumulus 27 Gtx trainers offer good traction and waterproof features, making them suitable for light to moderate hiking on various terrains.
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, and there should be no pinching or excessive pressure points.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, particularly the GORE-TEX membrane and GEL cushioning.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology is ASICS' proprietary cushioning system designed to absorb shock effectively, providing a softer landing and reducing stress on joints during impact.
How durable is the AHAR rubber outsole?
AHAR (ASICS High Abrasion Rubber) is strategically placed in critical areas of the outsole to enhance durability and provide excellent traction, extending the lifespan of the shoes.
Is the GORE-TEX membrane breathable?
Yes, GORE-TEX is designed to be both waterproof and highly breathable, allowing perspiration vapor to escape while preventing water from entering.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping into shoes despite GORE-TEX
Ensure the shoe's tongue is properly aligned and the laces are secured to prevent water entry points. Check for any visible damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. If damage is found, consider replacement.
Reduced cushioning or comfort over time
The GEL cushioning may naturally compress with extensive use. Ensure the correct size is being worn. For significant loss of cushioning, it might be time to consider a new pair.
Traction feels less effective on certain surfaces
Check the outsole for embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the outsole thoroughly. If the tread pattern is significantly worn down, the grip may be compromised, suggesting replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. If lacing is required, adjust to a snug but not overly tight fit, allowing for natural foot movement.
Compatibility:
Designed as versatile trainers, they are compatible with a range of activities including running, walking, and general training. The GORE-TEX technology makes them suitable for use in wet and damp conditions.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush. Use a damp cloth and mild soap for spot cleaning. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the 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 damage the materials and affect the GORE-TEX membrane.
