Best praise vs top criticism for Asics Gel-Cumulus 27
“Yep, slow KMs. I find the Superblast feels terrible at my easy pace. I use it for uptempo work and for threshold sessions (sometimes). The Cumulus for me is my "slow down" shoe. It forces me to take my time. I can do strides in them no problem, however.”
“What do you think of the Kayanos? I LOVED the Gel Cumulus 25’s and had 4 pairs of them. Wore them all out. My 27’s just aren’t the same and thinking of trying the Kayanos. I also have the Superblast 2’s for faster runs.”
