FAQs
What is GEL cushioning?
ASICS GEL technology is a silicone-based material placed in critical areas of the midsole, typically under the heel and forefoot. It's designed to absorb shock during impact, providing superior cushioning and protection for your joints.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the GEL-CUMULUS series has its roots in running, the GEL-CUMULUS 16 in this 'lifestyle' iteration is optimized for comfort and urban environments. They are suitable for light jogging or short runs, but for dedicated, intensive running training, we recommend a specialized ASICS running shoe from our performance range.
How do I know if they fit correctly?
There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe. Your heel should feel secure without slipping excessively, and the sides of your feet should not feel pinched. Try them on with the type of socks you'd typically wear.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. The high temperatures and harsh detergents can damage the shoe's materials, glues, and cushioning technologies. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the safest method.
What is FLYTEFOAM?
FLYTEFOAM is ASICS' advanced midsole technology that provides exceptional bounce-back and responsiveness while being significantly lighter than traditional midsole foams. It's designed to give you a lively and energetic feel with every step.
What is FLUIDRIDE?
FLUIDRIDE is a two-layer midsole construction that combines lightweight cushioning with enhanced durability. It offers a plush ride and improved bounce-back properties, contributing to the overall comfort of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Check your lacing; ensure it's not too tight. Try adjusting the lacing pattern for a more custom fit. Verify you have the correct size, as foot size can change over time. Allow for a short break-in period if they are new.
Foot odor develops after wearing.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. Allow the trainers to air out completely between wears. Consider using shoe deodorizers or baking soda sachets when not in use. Regular cleaning of the insoles can also help.
Squeaking noise when walking.
This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and reinserting it. If the issue persists, it might resolve with more wear.
Outsoles seem to lose grip over time.
Clean the outsoles regularly to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might reduce traction. While durable, rubber outsoles can wear down with extensive use, especially on abrasive surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Lacing: Unlace the trainers and slide your foot in. Ensure your heel is seated comfortably at the back of the shoe.
- Adjust Fit: Begin lacing from the bottom up, ensuring even tension. You should be able to wiggle your toes comfortably, and there should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
- Final Knot: Tie your laces securely to prevent them from coming undone during activity.

Care Instructions
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic leather surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary). Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve their materials and shape.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can damage the structural integrity and cushioning technologies of the shoe. Hand cleaning is recommended.
