Those who tested it say that the Cumulus 23 GTX has an extremely comfortable upper, mostly thanks to generous padding. As a runner said, “the seamless construction prevents any rubbing or friction on my foot,” and another expert added that he had “no heel slippage, no hot spots, no tight corners or cramped toes.”

The addition of Gore-Tex creates an effective barrier against bad weather, as confirmed by a runner who ran “through snow and rain and [his] feet never got wet.” This was further confirmed by another tester since the shoe kept their feet dry in a variety of situations such as “rain, sleet, dry snow, wet snow, freezing rain.”

Runners found out that the midsole leans a little bit to the firmer side, but loved the cushioning of this shoe, as they clearly put it:
- it’s firm and protective, but “by no means harsh”
- there is “excellent vibration dampening”
- the shoe “does an excellent job of tuning out the harshness of the road”
On top of this, another runner pointed out that in these shoes his foot “feels instantly transported to a stable, secure platform.”

A tester noticed that this shoe’s behavior is more traditional than other new ASICS trainers, which are more lively (take the ASICS GEL-1090 White Pink, for example), but the “excellent forefoot flexibility makes the ride very natural at all paces.”
Another runner said that in the Cumulus 23 there’s little responsiveness and it is “not sharp propulsive”, yet the ride is still “very smooth.”

On top of this, it’s also extremely durable, as pointed out by a runner who said that “durability [...] is fantastic. I have almost 45 miles on my pair and there is no sign of wear on the outsole.”
Another tester confirmed this by saying that this is a “surprisingly durable” shoe that can last 500 miles or more.
This ASICS is not for hot days
Though waterproof and protective, the Cumulus 23 GTX tends to be slightly warmer than other non-GTX ASICS shoes. A runner pointed out that this makes this shoe “ideal for those cold morning runs” in winter, but not for hot summer days.
Still true to size
Two runners who have used the previous iteration of this shoe noticed that the ASICS Cumulus 23 GTX fits slightly narrower than its predecessor, yet the fit remains true to size.
