Gel-Cumulus 23 Men's Road Running Shoes, Mako Blue/Pure Silver

I have been using my Asics GT 1000 trainers in the gym now for the last 2 weeks and have found them to be really comfortable and so good for running in. My old trainers gave me hot spots on the sole of one foot but these are just brilliant and want to make you run further in them because they are so soft underfoot to wear. I have been a fan of Asics for about 8 years now and will not buy anything else when it comes to sport trainers and they always support your feet and don't end up smelling awful after a couple of months. I would recommend these to any serious gym trainer and road runner as a perfect medium ranger trainer.

Purchased a pair of these after trying a similiar pair on in a specialist running shop which were much more expensive so this price is great value. Bought them in half a size bigger than my normal size as recommended and they fit a treat. Have been wearing them in my training runs for my first marathon and have to say they are really comfortable and haven't had any problems with blisters or sore feet, so much so that I have purchased another pair to break in for the day. If you need a reasonably priced pair of running shoes that are comfortable then go for these.

Over the recent years I have worn most of the GEL 1000 series (1000/1100/1160) which Asics customer services confirmed the GT 1000 is the successor to that series. The shoes were competitively priced and arrived in about three working days. The characteristics of the shoe is keeping with the GEL 1000, similar in weight, maybe slightly wider, again supportive with excellent cushioning. If you have used the GEL 1000 series in the past I have no hesitation is using this product. One final point, the neon orange is very bright!

I had the previous model of this shoe (gt-1160) a few years ago. Ran my first marathon in those trainers and loved them. I had a dodgy purchase in between (asics 3030s) and so decided to go back to this shoe. I'm swapping between this shoes and an Asics Nimbus. One shoe is for mild pronation and the other for cushioned so it's not an ideal mix, but I do like both shoes. This shoe has quite a hard sole, especially when compared to the Nimbus but that's necessary to provide the structure. I've had no problems and I find them quite a comfortable ride though I've only had them out for a about 7/8 runs so less than 60 miles on them.

I can't fault Asics for the running shoes they produce, always a top notch brand to go for when looking to purchase a good pair of running shoes. These are very comfortable and once bedded in after a couple of runs, there's no worry for the likes of blisters forming on your heels or sole of your foot. There's a lot of cushioning and the tread of the trainers is deep enough to not allow slipping or sliding to occur whilst out running in the wet.

I have been a fan of the GT series for more than 10 years. I was introduced to them when I was looking for a cure for ankle pains caused by too many years running in unstable air cushioned shoes. I haven't had any pain since. The GT 1000 feels like the lightest and fastest yet. They would be particularly suitable for serious runners or those that like to train and race in the same shoes.

Got measured up for these bad boys in a professinal running shop, they were perfect but I was slightly put off by the £125 price tag. I didn't expect to find them on here ..... but I did. Top quality running shoes for a bargain price. BRAVO

These shoes are super comfortable but i had one issue, the left shoe i could always feel heel lift in. I even tried 11 my normal size, 11.5 and 12 Same thing happened!! the shop suggested using the extra lace holes that just put more pressure on the top of my feet. It's really odd as the right shoe fitted perfectly. I have never experienced this in any other brand of running shoe (Mizuro, Nike, Adidas)
