Is the Gel-Cumulus 26 good for beginners?

Yes. It is a neutral daily trainer with forgiving cushioning, which suits new runners building base mileage.

How does it compare to the Gel-Nimbus 26?

The Nimbus is softer and more cushioned at a higher price. The Cumulus is lighter and a bit firmer, better for faster easy runs.

Most buyers take their usual size, but some report it runs slightly short, so consider a half size up if you are between sizes.

No. It is a neutral shoe. Runners who overpronate should look at the Gel-Kayano or GT-2000 lines.
