"Mizunos, and now Asics, are the only shoes I've ever worn that have given me shin splints. I have since gone back to my Sauconys and the pains have gone away. I'm sure they are good shoes but they're not right for me. "olliedawg
Fit
Although they seem to fit well, apparently they don't fit my running style.
Comfort
Even though these shoes don't work for me, they are comfortable. I can see why they have the 'cumulus' name as they are like running on a cloud, at least in the heel. I will say that, as a bigger guy (210 lbs), they fall a little short in the forefoot cushioning.
Performance
Not for me.
Strengths
They were comfy until I was barely able to walk.
Weakness
These gave me the worst shin splints I've ever had in my life. I fall between a neutral and slight supinating stride and these fit that bill. I ran about 4 miles during each of the first 2 runs in the shoes and I was in love with them. The 3rd time was a 5k and I ran very well. However, during my 4th run, I only got about 2 miles in before my shins were hurting so badly that I couldn't run any farther. I did pretty well to limp home.
