Gel-Cumulus 28

$145.00Daily Trainer

The Asics Gel-Cumulus 28 is a neutral daily trainer significantly updated to provide a comfortable, balanced, and forgiving ride ideal for daily mileage, easy runs, and longer, slower efforts. Its new FF Blast Max and PureGEL midsole, combined with a refined, breathable mesh upper and a highly durable outsole, contribute to a stable and dependable feel. While praised for its exceptional comfort, grip, and durability, some reviewers found it less exciting or responsive than other Asics options, and a few noted issues with the heel counter.

Highlights

  • Comfortable and balanced ride with FF Blast Max foam and PureGEL heel cushioning
  • True-to-size fit with a roomy toe box and stretchy, breathable mesh upper
  • Stable geometry and wide outsole provide a secure, balanced feel for neutral runners
  • Slightly lighter weight than the previous generation
  • Reliable traction and durability on paved roads for daily training and recovery runs

Considerations

  • Ride lacks energetic bounce and responsiveness compared to more dynamic Asics trainers
  • Some wearers may find the internal heel counter stiff or the collar slightly loose
  • Foam-rubber outsole can scuff quickly and tends to collect road debris
  • Upper may feel warm in hot weather due to its thicker knit construction
  • Delivers a safe, no-frills daily trainer experience rather than a standout or versatile performance shoe
