ASICS - GEL-CUMULUS 27 GTX

If you get goretex Asics they’re much more durable. For regular ones the material is very thin.

during sales asics cumulus and nimbus are under 5k ... get those they are neutral shoes .. and dont use your running shoes other than for running

Oh okay thank you so much!! I'll keep that in mind. Currently im using the gel cumulus for running and they've been great so far. So Im just looking for a good pair of shoes for daily casual walks

My experience with carbon plated shoes has been they make multiple paces feel easier than non plated shoes. My race day shoe is the Saucony Endorphin Pro 4. I find that a 9 minute pace feels easier in them than my Asics Cumulus or my New Balance Rebel. They also make a 6:30 pace feel easier. I can’t quantify the benefit, but I can feel the plate working as I hit the ground and toe off. And that doesn’t change if I increase or decrease the pace. Everyone is different, of course and whether or not YOU find them worth it will ultimately come down to how you feel in them. But at the end of the day they’re just shoes. They aren’t some magical thing to be placed on a pedestal. They are just a tool.

For neutral runners, Asics Novablast, Cumulus, Pulse, Excite - in that order depending on which one you may afford. I’ve a Cumulus and I’ve run 500 km in them. I could do the same in Pulse too, it’s good as well based on experiences I read online. 

I heard Pegasus had mid quality. I like the cumulus tho

I use Asics Gel Cumulus and love them. I think for knee support and versatility the Gel Nimbus or Novablast might be a better choice though.

I like Asics Novablast and Gel-Cumulus. Both available in size 5 on the Asics UK website. I'm doing the London marathon too, and I'll probably wear a pair of Metaspeed Edge that I bought last year.

NB Rebel V5 for me in 2E works beautifully with enough toe splay NB 1080 2E also felt good Vomero in Extra Wide still felt a touch narrow at the toe box. Nikes are seriously bad for wide foot folks. Dynafish Xiaonian has a surprisingly wide midfoot. Asics Nimbus, Cumulus in 4E is wide enough in front but something felt off about the fit for me compared to New Balance 2E

Daily: Novablast 5 Interval: Novablast 5... Next question. But seriously, at the moment I'm rotating through a pair of brooks ghost max, puma magmax nitro (my favourite shoe rn) and asics cumulus. Ultimately, there are so many daily trainers and there is no one size fits all, try em all on. In terms of interval work, for long tempo runs im rocking the Boston 12s. For Intervals runs under 40mins such as the Norwegian method or Mona Fartlek I'm using the Adidas Evo SLs. But if I'm in a mood, I picked up a pair of Asics Noosa Tri 15s cheap, they probably have my favourite tongue and they're super comfy. They are good for any speed. They fly. Personally the EVO SLs don't work for me when I go slower just leaves me with niggles. Im also an 85-90kg runner. Compared to some runners I'm on the heavier side. Probably why I get along so well with the Puma Magmax.
