Asics Gel-Cumulus 28

Asics Gel-Cumulus 28 review: what runners say

Fit

Wider toebox compared to the previous version. Refined upper with a partial sock-like construction and semi-gusseted tongue that improves wrap around the foot.

Feel

Generous cushioning with 44 mm of stack at the heel; feel is more guided and less fluffy than the Cumulus 27. Do not expect the extreme softness of the Novablast 5.

Durability

Outsole longevity at risk for heavy heel strikers. The FF Blast Max foam raises structural concerns: some runners estimate fewer than 250 good miles versus the 400+ of previous versions.

Best for

Neutral runners oriented toward easy paces and long distances. Not suited for fast sessions or unpaved or gravel surfaces.

Weak points

Outsole durability identified as a real issue. Low energy return despite the softer compound change. 8 mm drop considered excessive by a portion of users.
