Hard. One of the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever bought. You would think for the price they would be good, comfortable shoes. Nope. If you wanna feel like your walking on concrete you don't need these. Just go bare foot. I'm returning these and going back to Brooks.

I wear a 10 in most shoes. My Gel-Nimbus 18 were a size 10.5. I had to order up to a size 11 in these, and I ordered wide. They seem to fit, although they are still pretty tight across the arch. I'm most disappointed in the lack of padding under the ball of the foot. Very little cushion.

I bought these in hopes of them being as comfortable as the 18 and 19, but I was greatly disappointed. I could only wear them for a few hours before my feet hurt. I'm a Cumulus and Nimbus wearer, and the new versions of both of these are not as comfortable. The footbed seems stiffer than previous versions, so I do not feel like I am walking on a cloud. I returned them immediately. I hope Asics goes back to what was working for them in the Nimbus 18 and 19 and Cumulus 17 and 18. The new models are not good.

I ordered the 19 two weeks ago In a 7, too small. Sold those brand new never worn, bought the 20 they just arrived, tried them on TOO SMALL even tho the true fit feature said these would fit and even with the "Improved Fit" notice. I have been wearing ASICS for ten years religiously now. It's the only shoe I will wear but I am beyond disappointed. I am a very athletic person so I buy a lot of ASICS frequently. Ugh. I have to sell these too. I am so bummed. Not even sure what to do now. For the price you would think they would fit like they used to. So sad. Come on ASICS, get it together.

Apparently in the last two roll outs Gel-Nimbus has changed beyond recognition. I have worn Nimbus, many of them, for probably 7 years and loved them. These shoes(20) were stiff and hard. There is little cushioning in the forefoot. I put one on with the other foot in a Nimbus 18 which is well worn and the 18 had strikingly more cushioning even worn out. I don't know what is going on - but looks like I'm going to have to find myself another shoe.
I just returned a Nimbus 19 which was even worse. I hope Asics will go back to the earlier plan - or create a new shoe for neutral cushioning and tell us what it is!

I am a nurse rely on gel nimbus for comfort. Nimbus 20 fail. Please go back to inside comfort fit of the 17 and 18. Nimbus 20 are hard as rocks.

Asics, what have you done to the Nimbus? :( I have been running in Nimbus's for years, and I had to skip over the 19's due to the very narrow toe box. I stocked up on 18's and waited for the 20's to come out. I finally tried on a 20 today in my local running store, and while the toe box seems to be back to where it had been pre-19, the sole of the shoe itself is very stiff. I know it is not an issue of breaking it in, because all of the older Nimbus's felt like clouds as soon as I put them on. The 20's feel like stiff boards. Sadly, I think I am going to have to move on to a different brand.

The toe box is much narrower and the cushion is not as good as the 18's. On to find a different brand that is similar to the nimbus 18 unfortunately.

I was excited to try the Nimbus 20 since I had purchased several of the 19 and had wonderful experiences with the shoes,however the Nimbus 20 was a disappointment. Nimbus 20 shoe is cut short in length and an uncomfortable shoe while walking a long distance. A waste of money.

I have a problem with the show, you changed the size, I had the Nimbus19, sine 9 with 25.75 cm, and this one Nimbus20 has only 25.5 or 26, the one I ordered the 0.25 cm diff, I can't run with this one they are too big.

Love most Ascis shoes and have worn them for years. This one was uncharacteristically narrow and had to be sent back.

I bought two pairs. One is much smaller. Couldn't return as I wore the new ones, thinking they would be the same. Can't return so stuck with them.

Not what they used to be. The review comments are true. If you have an older pair these aren't the same shoe.

Shoes are not cushiony. I ran for less than 10 minutes and feet got really hot and ached. Nothing like the model 18s.

These shoes were look great but they do not fit great! They are way too tight in the toes! I always wear a true size 7 and these hurt my feet. Had to return!

You ruined what used to be a good shoe. Not as much cushioning and the toe box is too narrow. I switched to Brooks Glycerin. FAR BETTER.

I love my nimbus I have bought nimbus for years and I hate this pair. The arch has no support and I get craps in my arches. I also get hot feet. Not happy with this pair.

I have been wearing Gel Nimbus for over 10 years and these are the worst shoes I have bought in a long time. The shoe is just not comfortable. I'm very disappointed.

I have worn ASICS Numbus for years. I work 12 hours shifts on my feet and have always loved them until now. I order 2 pair of Numbus 20 and they are very uncomfortable. The bottoms of my feet hurt after wearing for only 1 hour. I can put on my older worn ones have have more comfort then the new pairs I bought. Wasn't money!!

I purchased this shoe on-line a few days ago. I received the shoe and tried it on yesterday and I have to say it doesn't have the same plush cloud feel from heel to toe as the Nimbus 18. The fit is tighter, the cushion is too firm and the shoe runs shorter than the Nimbus 18 (consider ordering two sizes up). I am extremely disappointed and will be returning the shoes tomorrow.
