FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for marathon training?
Yes, the Gel-Cumulus 28 is specifically designed for daily training and can provide the comfort needed for high-mileage runs.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the specialized foam cushioning; hand washing is safer.
What is the best way to dry them if they get wet?
Stuff the shoes with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and let them air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat.
Are these trainers true to size?
They generally follow standard UK sizing, but it is recommended to allow for a slight gap in the toe box as feet expand during exercise.
What surfaces are these best for?
These trainers perform best on hard, flat surfaces such as asphalt, concrete, and synthetic running tracks.
Does the Gel technology lose its effectiveness over time?
While the cushioning is durable, standard wear and tear over 300-500 miles can lead to compression of the materials, at which point you may consider a replacement.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch area during long runs
Verify that your lacing is not too tight; adjust the tension across the midfoot to allow natural foot expansion.
Slippage at the heel while running
Utilize the extra top eyelet to perform a 'runner's loop' or heel lock lacing technique for a more secure fit.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness
Ensure the outsoles are free of lodged stones or debris that can interfere with the shoe's natural flex and shock absorption.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Asics Gel-Cumulus 28 trainers remain in peak condition, proper care is essential. When you first receive the shoes, ensure a 'thumb-width' of space in the toe box to prevent discomfort during swelling that naturally occurs during exercise. Compatibility is best maintained by using these for running or walking; they are not intended for heavy lateral-movement sports like tennis or court activities. To clean, remove excess mud or debris with a soft brush after use. If they become heavily soiled, hand wash them with mild soap and cold water. Always allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the cushioning materials.
