Gel-Cumulus 19 Running Shoe - Men's

Regardless of what kind of training plan you're embarking upon, be it a couch-to-5k or your 15th marathon, the Asics Men's Gel-Cumulus 19 Running Shoe provides support and stability as you uptick the miles. If you're well familiar with the Cumulus line, then you're well aware of its plush ride. However, if the Cumulus shoe is new to you, simply know that it's a cushioned, capable all-rounder. The Gel Cushioning has been tested and trusted for nearly two decades now, and much like the 18th edition, the Cumulus 19, features the same, squishy pods closer that mimic the effects of your foot's natural cushioning tissue.

A favorite of long-distance runners for its generous mix of support and cushioning on a responsive platform, the Cumulus serves neutral feet best. Its pronounced "V" shape caters to a medium-to-wide forefoot and gives narrow heels some much-appreciated security. Cumulus veterans—you might notice a sleeker, seamless upper in this generally traditional shoe; though Asics still uses its signature overlays, they're far lighter and no longer use of the stitching they once had. The result: an airier, more forgiving fit across the upper that hopes to limit hot spots, adapt to a broader range of feet, and improve comfort when you're pounding the pavement for hours on end.
