Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus® 20

I am so happy that ASICS changed their sizing, or actually made it what it was - NOT narrow.

I bought these shoes the day they were released. I have been wearing Nimbus for over 6 years and the last 2 releases were snug in the toes. The Nimbus 20 is greatly improved. They are so comfortable - wider in the toe and it seems they are a little higher in the back of the shoe. My foot stays in the shoe better while doing lunges. This shoe is a definite YES.

Toe box in the 20 is much better ( not perfect but better) compared to the 18 & 19. True to size and loved the indigo color. Maybe Asics is finally starting to pay attention to our issues.

Bought about a week ago, they run small. I had to go up one full size. I'm hoping one size was enough to account for my feet swelling when I walk more than 3 miles. They are super comfy and I love the color combination

I love the appearance of these shoes, however my feet get really hot after a two mile run. I know they will give a bit as I wear them so, I have hope it will get better. These just aren't as great as my previous Asics!

Very comfortable my feet feel cushioned, but also a little warm so will see how I feel come winter.

Great shoes. I had to get wide and this was an option. Not a lot of cushion, but i haven't had knee pain or foot pain since wearing.

love my gel nimbus 20. tried the nimbus 21 and was highly disappointed in the lack of cushioning. i've had the 16, 18, 19 and 20 and will try to buy all the 20's in my size. this is my running shoe. go back to the padding in the newer models please!

Great support, nice shoe. Toe box is a little small but doesn't seem to be problematic.

I've bought two gel nimbus 20. Wore them for tennis/walking for several months and they've great except both right shoes got a hole in the top center front after a few weeks. Don't know why that happened but definitely spoiled the look of the shoe. I'm uncertain whether I want to try the 21 or look for another brand.

It's still comfortable I have to say and much more supportive than the Gel Quantum, but comparing it to the Nimbus 17 & 18, nah! It used to be way better. Lately i have some discomfort in my ankle during cardio workout and it is lack of support from my shoes.

I have had to go up a size since ASICS changed the way they make their shoes. The size 9s seem a little tight in the toe box. I know they are new so I hope they stretch out.

Would like to be able to get a wider pair. Love everything about them otherwise. There needs to be that option. I love Asics but they seem to be nero. I normally wear a normal width.

Very comfortable running shoe. More cushioning than GEL-Cumulus 20 I bought less than 6 months ago.

Wife loves her birthday gift. Great looking and perfect runners.

I purchased the Nimbus 20 in mid-gray - love the way they look BUT....they are not nearly as cushioned as previous versions. Maybe they were trying to make them a little lighter but I would prefer to have the extra softness. Please bring back the cushioning of the 17 or 18 version.

I'm happy with the shoe but this model feels less cushioned than my most recent pair.

I buy 2 pairs of running shoes per year and the Gel Nimbus 20 are my favourite. However, the laces have ripped on the last 2 pairs of shoes. I've been buying Asics for 25 years and this has never happened.

I have been using gel nimbus for years and I love the comfort. This pair of nimbus 20 seem a little shorter than usual so I would recommend it in a half size larger. I am thinking of getting another pair of the same but in the half size larger.

I bought this a couple weeks ago to replace my work shoes. Seems like it has quality materials, good cushioning and a good looking shoe overall. I usually wear a size 10 in other brands, so that's what I ordered, but it is much too tight in the forefoot and toe box...so have to return unfortunately. I'd recommend ordering up a full size.

I bought my nimbus 20 a few weeks back. I bought a wide but they're still little tight. Other than that they're great. I am on my feet all day on a concrete floor at work and own several pair of Asics. Hoping these will loosen up as I wear them.

First time buyer. Love the thick soft cushion of the Ninbus 20. Provides comfort to my aching feet.

I have been wearing Gel Nimbus for years. Although this model feels like it as less cushion than I have come to expect, it's still a great shoe.

I've been wearing Asics Gel Nimbus since 2006 when I trained for my first marathon with Team in Training. I was 54 and was new to running and endurance. The wide toe and nuertral stance worked for me. I buy a new pair every year (sometimes two pairs) and seldom wear other shoes. This would be a total five if they held up better. The tread seems to wear out faster than it used to and the lovely gel softness is so fleeting. Still, I'm grateful that Asics still makes "my" shoe and that it hasn't changed.

I went to an ASICS outlet store and tried on the only size 12 Nimbus in women's they had at that location and I loved them! It's hard having large wide feet for a woman. I've worn men's New Balance for years and wanted to feel more feminine. Fast forward a few years, my Achilles, legs and knees were hurting, so I decided to try women's ASICS. Love these shoes very much! My legs and ankles feel great, but they are a little tighter than I'd like on the tops of my feet. I took out the laces and replaced them with elastic laces and they are perfect now. The soles are so sturdy and squishy! If they weren't so tight on the top of my feet, I'd give 5 stars
