FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for serious running?
While the ASICS GEL-CUMULUS 16 has a heritage in long-distance running, this current iteration is designed as a lifestyle silhouette. It offers excellent comfort and cushioning for daily wear and light activities, but for dedicated high-performance running, newer ASICS models might be more suitable.
How do I clean my ASICS GEL-CUMULUS 16 Trainers?
Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. For the rubber outsole, use a brush to remove dirt. Always air dry your trainers naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What is GEL technology?
ASICS GEL technology involves strategically placed silicone-based material in the midsole, typically in the rearfoot and forefoot. It's designed to absorb shock during impact and toe-off phases, allowing for smoother transitions and enhanced comfort.
What are FLUIDRIDE and FLYTEFOAM technologies?
FLUIDRIDE is a two-layer midsole construction providing enhanced bounce back and cushioning. FLYTEFOAM is a lightweight foam formulation that offers continuous cushion and energy return, making the shoe lighter and more responsive.
Are these trainers true to size?
ASICS trainers generally run true to size. However, foot shape can vary, so it's always recommended to try them on to ensure the best fit for your comfort.
What materials are used in the upper construction?
The upper features a combination of breathable open mesh, 'Ironclad' synthetic leather overlays, and no-sew panelling. The overall material composition is Textile & Synthetic.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
These trainers are not specifically designed for wet weather conditions. The mesh upper offers breathability but minimal water resistance. It's best to avoid heavy rain or puddles to protect the materials and your comfort.
Troubleshooting
Trainers develop an unpleasant odor
Remove the sockliners and air them out. Sprinkle baking soda inside the trainers when not in use to absorb odors, or use a commercial shoe deodorizer spray. Ensure trainers are fully dry after use before storing.
Stains on the synthetic leather or mesh upper
For fresh stains, gently dab with a clean, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid scrubbing aggressively. For tougher stains, a specialized shoe cleaner for synthetic materials may be used, following product instructions carefully.
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur if moisture is trapped between the sockliner and the sole. Remove the sockliner, clean and dry both the inside of the shoe and the sockliner thoroughly, then reinsert. If the issue persists, a small amount of baby powder under the sockliner might help.
Loss of traction on the outsole
Regularly clean the rubber outsole to remove embedded dirt, small stones, or mud that can reduce grip. Use a stiff brush and water to clear the tread patterns. If the outsole is excessively worn smooth, the traction may be permanently reduced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Care
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your trainers.
- Cleaning the Upper: For the textile mesh and synthetic leather, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners which can damage the materials.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush (an old toothbrush works well) to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole.
- Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers), as this can cause materials to warp or crack.
- Odor Control: To prevent odors, remove the sockliner periodically and allow it to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes when not in use.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
Do not machine wash or tumble dry your trainers.
