FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The GEL-CUMULUS 16 trainers are designed with a standard unisex fit. While they offer a comfortable upper, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consider alternative lacing methods to improve comfort.
How do I clean the GEL cushioning if it gets dirty?
The GEL cushioning is integrated into the midsole and is not typically cleaned separately. Focus on cleaning the exterior of the shoe as per the care instructions. Any dirt on the cushioning unit can usually be wiped away with a damp cloth.
Can I wear these for marathon training?
The GEL-CUMULUS 16 offers good cushioning for road running and can be suitable for marathon training for many runners. However, individual needs vary, and it's important to ensure the support and cushioning meet your specific requirements for long-distance running.
What is the primary difference between this and newer Asics models?
As a 2014 classic update, the GEL-CUMULUS 16 features a blend of retro style and established comfort technology. Newer models often incorporate more recent innovations in foam compounds, upper materials, and biomechanical designs for enhanced performance or specific running types.
How should I store my GEL-CUMULUS 16 trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid crushing them or storing heavy objects on top, which can compromise their shape and cushioning.
What does the 'GEL' in GEL-CUMULUS refer to?
The 'GEL' refers to Asics' proprietary GEL cushioning system, a silicone-based material placed in the heel and/or forefoot of the shoe to absorb shock effectively and provide a softer landing.
Troubleshooting
Slight discomfort upon first wear.
This is common with new trainers. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your feet. Ensure the lacing is not too tight.
Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Different models can have slight variations in fit. Consider trying a half-size up or down if available, or adjust lacing techniques for a more customized fit.
Reduced cushioning effect over time.
The GEL® cushioning may naturally compress with extensive use. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help maintain the shoe's integrity. For significant loss of cushioning, it may be time to consider a replacement.
Exterior material appears dirty.
Wipe down the trainers with a damp cloth and mild soap. For mesh areas, a soft brush can help dislodge dirt gently.
