The question of who makes the best running shoes doesn’t have just one answer—every runner’s foot is different, and every run is different, from logging distance miles on the weekend to the quick loop around the block. But regardless of the type of foot you have or the type of running you do, Asics is always a top contender. And right now for Cyber Monday, you can get one of its top pairs for 48% off.
The brand’s Gel-Cumulus 24 running shoes are on sale right now for $67, nearly half off the $130 list price. Prices vary among the 19 colors on offer, but the most heavily discounted colorways include eye-catching hues like “Black/Shocking Orange” and “Indigo Blue/Sun Peach” as well as subdued shades like “White/Black” and “Midnight Blue/Azul Blue.” The shoes have a 4.6-star average of the 1,509 reviews on Amazon, including 1,155 five-star ratings.
Asics Men's Gel-Cumulus 24 Running Shoes, From $67 (was $130) at Amazon
[From $67 (was $130); amazon.com]
The Gel-Cumulus 24 is last year’s iteration of Asics’ long-running Gel-Cumulus line, and the brand is offering substantial discounts on the 24 to make way for the newest model. The Gel-Cumulus is one of the brand’s most popular, long-running models, alongside the Gel-Kayano and Gel-Nimbus. Of the three models, the Kayano and the Nimbus are the most cushioned, with the Kayano offering more stability. A neutral runner, the Cumulus is less cushioned, but that also makes it lighter weight.
The Cumulus is also a better value shoe compared to Asics’ other (already reasonably priced) running shoes. And at the $67 price, the value is hard to beat. The Gel-Cumulus 24 includes an Ortholite X-30 sock liner and a mesh upper that’s designed to be breathable. The brand’s FF BLAST cushioning is designed to create a responsive energy return.
Customers were impressed, with one writing that the shoes were “a joy to run in,” and noted that the shoes offered a “lightweight but firm footing with a sole that gives way to pressure while supporting at the same time.” Shoppers also compared the shoes favorably to other top shoe brands, including a runner who wrote that these were “as good as Brooks Ghost at half the cost.”
Whether you’re looking to log more miles in the new year, replace your worn-out running shoes, or just want something comfortable to stand and walk in, Asics’ Gel-Cumulus 24 is a great value at an even better price right now.
