Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus® 19

ASICS has been my go to for years. It's so sad. That the toe bed has changed and is too narrow. Now I have to find a new sneKer

I have had these Nimbus 19 for a month and they kill my feet and lower back! They're not near as comfortable as previous models! Also, much smaller and narrower!

I've bought several GEL-Nimbus 18's and found the fit just great. Ordered the same size in the 19 and felt like I had a different shoe entirely. Was short and tight so I suspect that the production quality and consistently is way off for this shoe

I've been wearing ASICS for decades--and they change the design annually. The changes are not always for the better or needed: the Gel-Nimbus 19's toe box is way too small: I had to go up another half-size, and the cushioning is reduced. Please bring back the Gel-Nimbus 17! You can offer the style as a "Classic." Many people depend on consistency in shoe design to prevent injury. I hope that you read these reviews, and take your customer's comments to heart. Thank you P.S. You don't need to add color to the inside of the shoe: it gets on socks when the shoe is wet!

I am disappointed. After finding in Nimbus 17 the perfect quality running shoe with a sufficiently wide last, and then buying a couple of 18's, this 19 is a disaster for me personally. I am again forced to start testing the 4E's of other brands.

I was very happy to have found 17 and then after that I bought a couple of 18. What I don't understand is why make this so narrow now? As there is a 2E available? I need to search new shoes again, just when I thought I had found a solution.

I've been wearing the nimbus since version 11. I have a very high arch and hammer toes and have always found the nimbus to the best cushioned shoe out there. I was so incredibly disappointed when I put on this version and like most other reviewers found the toe box to be incredibly tight to the point that I cannot wear them. I usually wear a 15 medium and sometimes even a narrow, and the medium width pinches my feet so much there is pain after just a few minutes of wear. I would consider trying a 2E width but it only comes in that horrible grey color. This is a plea to asics (as someone who has relied on the nimbus for my bad feet) - PLEASE fix this issue with the toe box on the nimbus 20!

I've been buying and wearing the Gel Nimbus for many years; however, the 19s are very disappointing. I don't think they are well cushioned and the toe box is smaller than the 18. I think the 18s are a much better shoe and are the quality I've come to expect from Asics. The 19s remind me of the Nimbus 13s or 14s that everyone hated. Do yourself a favor and don't buy these.

I bought my latest pair of Nimbus in April 2017. I have about 180 miles on them and the sole looks like 300+ on my many previous Nimbus models. I've been wondering what Asics had done to make this latest model not hold up as well and ran across these comments. Glad to see my concerns are validated. I sure wish Asics would go back to whatever they did in the past with Nimbus. I'm trying to get some more miles out of these but not sure how much longer I can hold out.
