    It’s a familiar setting: you’re out on a routine run and the storm clouds run through. The run you thought would be a walk, or run, in the park is now riddled with puddles, a steady downpour, and soaked shoes.

    Unless you’re wearing a pair of Asics GEL-Cumulus® 18 GTX® Shoes.

    Features

    The Asics GEL-Cumulus® 18 GTX® Shoe, with GORE-TEX lining, is the weatherproof running shoe you’ve been dreaming of on those snow days you’re stuck inside wishing you could hit the road.

    Asics decided to build the shoe without seams this time around. The result? Reduced friction and irritation you might encounter with stitches and seams. Gone are the days where you’d run and get that nagging feeling your shoes are rubbing your feet raw.

    But the biggest benefit of running in the Asics GEL-Cumulus® 18 GTX® Shoe is in the name itself. Found both in the rear and forefoot, the GEL® cushioning system has earned a reputation for being highly efficient at attenuating shock caused with each foot strike. Not only that but it also fluidly moves the foot through multiple planes throughout the gait cycle.

    Expertly crafted, the Asics GEL-Cumulus® 18 GTX® Shoe features so many minute details in its construction that truly contribute to a better, safer, and drier run.

    Fit

    When you’re in the market for a new running shoe, it’s all about the pronation. As defined by Asics, “Pronation is how a runner's foot rolls medially between footfall and toe-off. Underpronation is when the foot rolls outwards, overpronation is when it rolls inwards, and a neutral pattern is when little rolling occurs.”

    This shoe is designed for runners that have neutral to underpronation. Head into a local shoe shop to find out exactly what your pronation is.
