Runner’s World Review
Runners with heavy foot strikes need a big shoe like the Cumulus to handle the impact. But even smaller testers liked the soft ride. “As its name suggests, this shoe is like running on a cloud,” says Runner’s World Executive Editor Tish Hamilton. “It’s very comfortable for short run/walks and longer runs, too. And it didn’t run ‘heavy,’ as some more cushioned shoes I have trained in.”

We put each shoe through real-world usage and a battery of mechanical tests in our lab to provide you with objective — and exclusive — data. In addition to a shoe's weight, we measure sole thickness (everything that sits between your foot and the road), how well the foam cushions your stride, and the flexibility of the forefoot. All this is taken into account in our reviews of each shoe.
