Runners with heavy foot-strikes need serious cushioning, but not everyone requires the corrective support of stability shoes.
For them, the Asics Gel Cumulus provides a soft landing that's ideal for high-mileage workouts.
The memory foam-lined upper of the Cumulus uses a series of semi-independent eyestays to hold the foot down securely.
Asics Gel Cumulus runners find that the cushioning is plush yet firm enough to protect their legs.
It's a shoe that has been recommended to ease the pounding of long, tough workouts.
