I own the Nimbus 20 and it's an incredible shoe, Light and great fit. The 21 builds upon the same characteristics and makes it lighter! Nimbus does it again!!

I have enjoyed wearing the Nimbus line of shoes from Asics for many years. They are extremely comfortable. I have tried a few other brands but always come back to the Nimbus

Excellent looking shoe which provided great support and comfort. I have neuropathy and these shoes really help my feet....so much so I bought a second pair.

Great fit and higher comfort level than my previous Nimbus. I use an orthotic and this shoe accommodates it easily.

I haven't worn the gel nimbus for about 8 years, my last pair being the gel nimbus 12 or 13. After reading reviews of the 18-20, I was hesitant to purchase these but I'm glad I did. Any problems I read about seemed to be fixed completely. The shoe is wide enough, structured, but soft and supportive. It feels like I'm walking on a cloud. However, I will say the shoes are short. I'm typically an 8.5, usually a 9 in running shoes and boots. I had to go up to a 9.5 in these. Other than that, this a great running shoe.

My only disappointment was that black was the only color available in my size. I’ve tried many walking shoes and ASICS works best for me.

Very comfortable shoe, really didn't need to be broken in either. I walk on the outsides of my feet and this shoe really helps to correct that.

The biggest noticeable difference between the Nimbus 19 and 20 vs the new 21 is that there is a wider toe box. These shoes have been great trainers and have ample yet responsive cushioning. I broke them in for two weeks and then ran a marathon in them and, while I didn't put in 100% effort, I still ran a sub-3 hour marathon and had no blisters or irritation in my calluses. Usually a marathon rewards me with one or two nickel sized blisters.

I've been wearing Gel Nimbus for about a dozen years, but bailed out after the 19s. Always found the uppers to lack durability. But the 21s have won me back.

It's very comfortable especially during running, which is the main purpose of this shoe and good cushioning! I dont feel any fatigue, tiredness, or soreness in my feet after a good 15-20-minute run!

I purchased for my 13-year old who is growing like a bean stalk! He also does cross-fit 3x week and walks alot so quality shoes in important. I always by him ASICS and the 2E was wide enough but not too wide. I had ordered the medium with and they weren't wide enough for his wide feet. He's happy with them and even though these are spendy, they are worth it!

Very comfortable running shoes. Used them already a few times and very pleased. One minor issue, the shoes color is very unique, spare laces would have been great add on. Should not be a big thing for Asics to add.

I have worn Nimbus shoes for the last ten years, and in my opinion the Nimbus 21 is at the top of the class. Much-improved toe box--the last several models have felt a bit tight/constraining, but the 21 feels much roomier. This shoe provides a cushion ride, without added weight. Love this shoe..plan on ordering another pair (or two)!

I had taken a break from running from some serious training/racing years, but ordered a new pair of Asics Nimbus and not much has changed: same Excellent ride and comfort level as before. I will not run in any other shoe!

Love these so far. First time with the GEL-Nimbus. Nice cushioning. I use an orthotic and it fits nicely in the sneaker. The colors are vibrant, which I like.
