Asics Cumulus VIII
Manufacturer: Asics
Price: $85
Reviewed in: Jan 2007 Shoe Guide
We say: A stalwart in the neutral-cushioned category, the updated Cumulus now features full-length Speva in the midsole. Speva contains more rubber than traditional foams for enhanced durability and softness. Yet somehow, despite the added Speva, the VIII is just three-quarters of an ounce heavier than its predecessor. The comfortable upper construction and the last (foot form) of the shoe remain unchanged, so Cumulus fans can expect greater durability with the same fit and feel. Recommended for runners with high arches looking for plenty of cushioning.
Wear-testers say: "The shoe fit well and had plenty of cushioning, but felt a little too heavy."--Nathan Usher, 23, East Lansing
"Asics got it right; I love the cushioning and flexibility."--Michael Friddle, 36, San Diego
