Is the Gel-Cumulus 16 GS good for everyday running?

Yes. It is a neutral cushioned trainer with rearfoot GEL, suited to daily runs and gym class for young runners.

How does it compare with newer Cumulus kids' models?

Newer versions use lighter knit uppers and updated foam, so they feel lighter and more breathable. The 16 GS offers similar cushioning with a more retro build.

Does it fit true to size?

It is listed in kids' sizing. ASICS running shoes generally run true to size, but try them on with the socks your child will run in.

What is GEL cushioning?

GEL is ASICS's silicone-based cushioning placed in the heel to absorb impact. On this model it sits in the rearfoot.

Is it suitable for wide feet?

The synthetic overlays and mesh upper give a standard fit. Kids with wide feet may want to size up or look for a wide-specific model.

Our take on the Gel-Cumulus 16 GS "Black Gunmetal"

The Gel-Cumulus 16 GS is ASICS's kids' version of its mid-2010s neutral running shoe, built with breathable open mesh, synthetic leather overlays and no-sew paneling. Rearfoot GEL cushioning and a foam midsole soften landings for everyday running and play. It suits young neutral runners who want a cushioned, retro-styled trainer. Against current kids' running shoes it is heavier and less breathable than modern knit uppers, but the GEL cushioning and durable overlays hold up well for daily wear.
