Popular Running Shoe Comparisons
The ASICS GEL-CUMULUS 27 and the HOKA Clifton 10 are two classic daily trainers that both prioritize underfoot protection and comfort, and they weigh about the same. However, the Clifton 10 has a higher stack and softer midsole, offering a plusher, more cushioned ride that excels at easy and recovery runs where impact absorption is key. In contrast, the ASICS sits a bit closer to the ground, with a slightly firmer feel that provides more ground contact and a more traditional running sensation. While both are well-suited for daily mileage, the Clifton 10 leans more toward maximum comfort and protection, whereas the CUMULUS 27 appeals to runners who prefer a lower-profile, more stable ride without sacrificing too much cushioning.
We've recently started buying and testing running shoes with a very data-oriented approach. While we're just getting started, our methodology already has dozens of tests to help you make the right purchasing decision for your needs. Not only do we use high-end equipment to gather objective data, but we also order multiple sizes of the same shoes for team members to be able to log in miles. This real-world testing is done at various paces and conditions, and with different types of workouts, to cover all the bases. This allows us to verify our results and ensure they align with what you might feel with a specific pair.
