Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus® 20

These sneakers are horrible!! They have no cushion and now I have a really bad foot injury. I tend to run 4 miles a day 5 days a week and had no foot problems on my old shoes. Shortly after I started wearing these, the ball of my foot started hurting! TERRIBLE TERRIBLE SHOE. I wish I could return them, but zappos won't let you if you wore the item.

I have been a loyal asics customer for years and years. I settled into the asics Gel-Nimbus 13 and have pretty much stayed with this shoe over the years. The Gel-Nimbus 18 was about as good as a shoe can get, and from the reviews that I have read, I am not alone in feeling this way. Change for the sake of change is not good. Especially if you are swapping out the best shoe for something of lesser quality, comfort, fit and function. Please consider bringing the Gel-Nimbus 18 back as the Gel-Nimbus 20 does not offer the comfort, structure, and ride that the Gel-Nimbus 18 provided.

Not a good purchase. I've been a faithful wearer of the Gel Nimbus running shoes for more years than I can even remember. That means I've gone through many iterations of the shoe. Each one was a little different but I assumed that meant improvement, and I got used to any subtle differences. With faith in this line, I bought the Gel Nimbus 19 in fall 2017. Like many other reviewers of that shoe, I found the toe box to be very tight. I also found it tight across the bridge of my foot. I took a leap of faith and bought the 20, hoping Asics listened to reviewers and made improvements. Other than having an attractive color scheme, this shoe is very disappointing! It is stiff and very uncomfortable. There is more room in the toe box but still too tight in that area and across the bridge of my foot. The 20 doesn't have the same amount of gel cushioning as Nimbus' of old. Feels like a lesser quality than prior models. Very reluctantly I'm giving up on Asics and looking elsewhere. Maybe I'll check back when the 21 is released if I'm not comfortable in another brand pick. Asics, why didn't you leave things alone?? The l6's, 17's and 18's were great.

I am disappointed in these ASICS. I have worn ASICS for over 10 years and have loved all of them up until now. The Nimbus 20 felt tight all around the foot, even though I ordered my usual size. I wore them to Disney World and they were so uncomfortable I felt like my toes were going to fall off. In fact 2 of my toenails did turn black! Terrible! I am so bummed I spent a hefty price for shoes I will never wear again. I will be trying Brooks as my next running shoe brand.

I always wear Asics but this style was cut too wide and very uncomfortable.

I've been wearing ASICS for 27 years because of the wide toe box and arch. My last pair, 2000T, were high on the heal and eventually, wore down and eventually gave me blisters. I thought it was the style I selected so I went back to these, the GEL Nimbus. I was so disappointed when I received them. Not only were they high on the heal, the toe box was narrow too and only moderate arch support. :(
