We all have that one friend we can go months without speaking to and pick right back up where we left off. For some of our reviewers, that friend is the ASICS GEL-Cumulus.

Everyday shoe to wear on campus
I bought my daughters third pair of this shoe. She wears them untold the tread on the sole is smooth! She says they are the only shoes she can wear walking from one end of the campus to the other without returning to her dorm with achy feet.
