ASICS Gel-Cumulus 24
Features
Run for miles in the soft, comfortable ASICS GEL-Cumulus 24.
The legendary ASICS GEL-Cumulus gets an update to make it softer and more plush. ASICS added FF Blast foam to the midsole that gives it a soft, responsive ride. Plus, designers increased the stack height of the foam to give you a more comfortable run. ASICS’ signature rearfoot and forefoot gel technology provides impact absorption and a softer feeling at the forefoot.
ASICS use their gender-specific 3D Space Construction, which compresses differently to address the biological differences between men’s and women’s feet. They also continued their trend of decreasing the heel-to-toe drop from previous models to provide full ground contact for a smoother and more efficient run.
The new outsole of the GEL-Cumulus 24 is made of ASICS Lite and contains flex grooves to give you some flexibility at push off. This is a stronger and more durable material than standard outsoles. Testers loved the new outsole in the GEL-Cumulus because it gives traction and grip, while being minimal and durable in our ASICS GEL-Cumulus 24 review.
The jacquard mesh upper wraps around your foot for a comfortable fit. The new mesh is more breathable to prevent your feet from sweating when you are bringing the heat during your run. It also stays true to ASICS sustainability measures and is made with recycled materials to reduce waste and carbon emissions. The tongue and heel are both padded to provide the ultimate in comfort and the tongue is semi-gusseted, so it stays in place throughout the run.
Although it is known as one of the best running shoes for beginners, the ASICS GEL-Cumulus 24 is a workhorse of a shoe for anyone who is running or walking.

Comfortable but Hot Soles
Bought these to train for a half marathon and had high hopes. Right off the bat they are SO cushy & comfortable but after about 4 miles the soles of my feet felt extremely hot. I wish I could’ve kept these but I had to return. I think they’d be better for people who run 3 miles or under and/or walk.
Favorite
This asics is now my favorite even over the Brooks adrenaline that I’ve been wearing for years. I run between 3-6 miles most days. Sometimes I run up to 10. I have had plantar fasciitis in the past and it’s not a problem with these. Very comfortable. Great cushion.
Great Shoe
I have been a Brooks GTS fan for several years. I just happened to try these on mainly bc I loved the color. I was instantly in love with the support and cushioning. These feel amazing on my feet and still do after a 12 hour shift in healthcare. I totally recommend to anyone who spends hours on their feet and walk a lot.
Great purchase & experience
I could not have been more pleased with my shopping experience at Fleet Feet. The customer service rep took his time to scan my feet and help explain the results. He then pulled about 7 pairs of shoes for me to try. Once we found the best ones he let me order the color I preferred online and they arrived at my house the next day. Clean store with helpful employees. Such a nice find!
Great shoes I love
My best shoes ever. I can wear them whole day and feel no tired feet whatsoever. Very comfortable for long walk and run.
Fit Great
Thanks to Fleet Feet diagnosis of my feet and what shoe I needed I purchased 2 pair of these shoes. They are lightweight on my feet and feel great on my feet. I do not have the pain when walking on pavement to my back and feet. I will definitely be back to Fleet Feet when I wear these out to have my feet diagnosed again or order more shoes from them. I have recommended Fleet Feet to my family and friends.
Pretty comfortable
These shoes are comfortable although they are a little tight on top. I like the fact that the back is not too high like so many running shoes I tried. No rubbing in the heel or Achilles area. I wear them for everyday use and walking not for running. I found the extra cushioning was not something I have experienced before in a shoe and so it has been hard for me to feel like my feet are touching the ground. Not good for people with balance problems due to the extra cushioning and lack of proprioception with the ground. But comfy otherwise.
ASICS Gel-Cumulus 24
Love these shoes! Very light weight and super comfy from the first time I wore them. Walked all over Ireland in them and they were great!
