The GEL-CUMULUS® 22 running shoe is a recommended choice for neutral runners who want a soft, flexible everyday trainer with a great fit. This update features a one-piece upper mesh that's combined with a seamless 3D print construction, which balances support and comfort around the foot — giving you an excellent fit right out of the box. The FLYTEFOAM® technology midsole is softer than the previous version to promote a pillowy ride. Under heel where the foot first hits the ground has been redesigned to better isolate impact. This new heel design has deeper forefoot flex grooves and a softer midsole foam to give you a soft ride. A hard-wearing AHAR® rubber outsole compound has been placed in key contact areas to help the GEL-CUMULUS® 22 shoe stand up to a ton of miles.
PRONATION
Pronation is part of the natural movement of the human body and refers to the way your foot rolls inward for impact distribution upon landing. Understanding your pronation type can help you find a comfortable running shoe. The GEL-CUMULUS 22 is made for Underpronation and Neutral.
UNDER
NEUTRAL
OVER
Underpronation
FOOT TYPE

HOW YOUR FOOT CONTACTS THE GROUND
The outer side of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with little or no normal pronation, causing a large transmission of shock through the lower leg.
Neutral
FOOT TYPE
Normal size arches
PUSH OFF
There is even distribution from the front of the foot.
HOW YOUR FOOT CONTACTS THE GROUND
The foot lands on outside of the heel, then rolls inward (pronates) to absorb shock and support body weight.
