Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus® 21

I've been running in the Gel-Nimbus shoe for years and it has served me well. I run 5 or 6 miles 5-6 times each week. This past summer I turned 72 and my only wish for improvement for this great shoes is if it had a bit more cushioning. Other than that suggestion, I love the comfort and durability. I usually purchase a new pair every 4-6 months or so.

Good support, comfortable and very well constructed.

More gel comfort and supination support (as correctly stated by Asics) than most shoes. I give 4 stars, instead of 5, as my older Gel Quantum 180 series 2 still have better gel comfort.

I'm a lifelong Nimbus guy and found this to be a reliable edition albeit lighter on cushioning than I prefer. I found the fit and arch support to be on the money as usual.

Has a very cushioned but loose feel to the shoe. It is a little wide in the heel that lets it want to roll on uneven surfaces. I have a older version of the shoe, a15 that I liked better.

Not as wide for those with normal/wide feet so the midsection might feel tight when tying shoes so one much adjust accordingly. However, great shoe for running both long and short distances as of right now. Have a firm grip on the ground so far.

Basic and durable for day to day training. Expensive.

I have been wearing these neutral shoes for quite sometime. I have been happy with both Nimbus and Cumulus.

Very comfortable for walking every day. Happy to have bought them. Shoe could be a little better constructed ... I've had them a short while and they are getting chewed up already in places it shouldn't, but I would still repeat buy for a walking shoe. Very comfortable.

4/5 bc my size ,12.5 or 13 is very hard to find at good price!!! Very!

Good, sturdy running shoe, solidly Built. Only complaint is that laces are hard to undo after running, not much finger room as opposed to other Asics.

Good value sneaker. Had recently purchased the Gel-Nimbus 22, but thought the Gel-Nimbus 21 was a superior shoe for the price offered through ASICS. Have worn Gel- Nimbus model for last 10 years.

I had been a longtime diehard Gel-Nimbus user for a number of years. And then about four years ago, it seemed as if they were being made smaller. All of a sudden my most comfortable running shoes were no longer comfortable. I was not the only one to notice. There were many reviews mentioning the same. I decided to give them another try with the Nimbus 21. I was pleasantly surprised with the comfort and fit. These felt like the old Nimbus that I was used to. I am confident enough to try another pair when it's time for replacing these. Thank you Asics for listening and bringing back the comfort.

The top of each shoe split at toe end within 3 months of purchase. Requested a warranty claim but ASICS never responded. :(

Purchased these to help with under-pronation. They seem to have done the trick. Would give 5 stars if I had more miles on them but so far so good. Cushy heel cup and tongue which I like. I can feel the flyte foam and gel working. Great product, I would recommend to other runners!

Comfortable shoe from the start, a little firmer than I would like but well cushioned. First time in a Nimbus will give it some time.

They are sized wrong. I have purchased 4 other pair in the store and they all have fit perfectly. Please let me know how to go about exchanging them. Thank you.

This shoe offers very good lateral support and cushioning. Overall it feels a little heavy compared to other running shoes but my feet don't feel worn or sore after a 6-8 mile run. Shoes run a little narrower than other brands which is common for Asics. Overall a sturdy shoe that likely will last for a few hundred miles of running.

The shoes to fit snug around the ankle but if you tie them properly they grab your ankles and fit much better

Great built shoe,but don't come close to the fit of the 19

Nimbus has been my go to shoe since the Nimbus 14. With every years release, one never knows what the new model will bring; will it fit, will it wear, will it be comfortable. The 17 was heinous so I skipped the 18 and 19, and switched to Brooks. I came back with the 20 and found if I used shoe trees for a few days before the initial run, they fit much better. This goes for the 21. I put 500+ miles on the 20's, and hope for the same with the 21's.

I chose 4 stars because the colors is a bit boring and they fit a little bit tighter than most size 14 shoes I've had in the past. The support and cushioning are AMAZING! My last pair of Asics were wild colors and style and I absolutely loved them...I just ran too many miles in them and they needed to be retired.

Comfortable but somewhat tight toe box. Good for walking

I love these shoes. I have bad knees and these provide wonderful cushioning. The shoes are slightly wider in the foot area than Nikes. They are comfortable and fit well.

I have purchased several pair of the A21 over the years. I have found them to be Comfortable and true to width and size. Excellent walking shoe for trails too for us older runners and walkers.
