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.”
Stable and protective midsole
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 part asics trainers, which are more lively (take the Asics Gel Saga Mazarine Blue, 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.”
Grippy and durable outsole
The outsole is equipped with thick rubber and offers fantastic grip on most surfaces, including when there’s dirt or the road is wet. 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.
