Bought my new Asics running shoes during sales offer to substitute my old Mizuno Wave Rider 18. The original price is RM499 after 50% is RM249.50. Its a 2017 model, the Asics Cumulus 18. This shoes is for high arch/underpronate runners.
High arch/ underpronate is one of the 3 foot motions. Underpronation is how the foot land on the ground. Basically is that my shoes worned outside of the heel area, if your shoes worned out at the inside of the heel area, that is flat foot/overpronate. Therefore, I need to wear Asics Cumulus 18 to correct my running motion, or else my training wont last me for 2km which my lower body will start to sore.
I had tried other brands but Japanese technology is still the best when it comes to running shoes (Mizuno/Asics). After wearing 10 times for training to break-in this shoes Asics Gel technology was just awesome, which the cushioning really absorbed all the shock especially running on asphalt surface.
Furthermore, the outsole is very durable. After 10 times of usage at approximately 70km, it just worned out just a little. For the weight, its slightly heavy because of the thick modsole and gel, but comfortable.
Highly recommended for high mileage runners but not recommended for runners who requires ligther in weight.
