Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus® 21

This shoe is very comfortable. Light in weight, but stable unlike most of the collapsible shoes that are in favor these days. They are springy band I feel like they give me extra energy when I want to go a little further in my runs/walks. Highly recommended!

The nimbus has been a popular shoe and based on reviews I've read the shoe has been criticized for being to stiff. I'm not a marathon runner but run around 3 miles regularly. The shoe has felt fantastic to me. Not overly stiff at all.

Not as cushy as previous models of nimbus. I have bought many, otherwise still a great shoe.

Consistent ASICS fit. I can buy a new pair of ASICS nimbus and wear them on day one. Good for about 300 miles before I see a hole above my toe box.

Great, durable shoe. Neutral support, which is what I need. Missed exact fit.

I love my Nimbus-21. I would have love it more if it had a white bottom like my Nimbus 20 rather than the pure black.

shoes run slightly small. I usually wear a size 10.5 and order ust that for my nimbus-21 but they are a little small in length

I have warn the Asics Gel Nimbus for the aprox. 10 years. They provide great support and the right amount of cushion for me. The insoles in the last 2 pairs tend to slide back toward the heal while I am running. This leaves a quarter or half inch gap in the insole near the toe of the shoe. While this is irritating, this is still a good shoe overall.

Same size as my last three different styles of Asics shoes, but seem tighter in length and width. Not bad, but noticeable. I like the way the soles strike the road better than my Quantums.

Shoe fits well. I have narrow feet and my toes do not slide around in the box.

Not as comfortable as my Gel 18's , but I would buy another pair of the 21's.

This is my 4th pair of Nimbus. Of them all, these were the most difficult to break in to a comfortable state. But eventually they got there & were as great as all the prior models. Love these shoes - however, like the other 3 pairs, after a few months the standard hole forms on the top of each shoe, right above my big toes. Very annoying... but, when it happens they turn into lawn mowing shoes and I get a new pair...

Toe box is narrower than I had hoped. My last ASICS have always seemed to have more room. I hope they stretch out slightly. In retrospect I should have gone with a 2 E. Shoe stores tell me I do not need extra width but I am finding that not the case. Like the looks, cushioning and heel fit. Need more miles to see if toe box it's going to work.

Nice shoe, very comfortable. I customarily wear GT-2000 series but tried these because of the extra cushion described in the item profile. I don't notice much difference from the GT-2000, but the GT has more support and structure;

Good but not up to the level of quality as the discontinued Phoenix Gel that I was hoping to replicate.

Very comfortable and suffer from plantar fasciitis and definitely cushioned feet

I saw some bad reviews on these and I bought them anyway. I have no complaints at all

So far so good, just on week two. I like 'em fine. I'm an on my feet guy, I shoot real estate photos and videos so I need a good, rugged, comfortable sneaker that don't weigh me down and these do the trick.

I have been running in this model for a few years. I'm 55 and 195 pounds. After 40+ years of running, my knees need some cushion. This shoe has plenty of cushion, but it seems to wear out after 350-400 miles. I wear a size 12 in this version, but wore a 12.5 in the 20 version. They fit comfortably right out of the box. I wear out the mid-sole long before the uppers or tread goes.

Seems to be a well-constructed shoe. So far, the shoes have provided solid support and looked good. Have not owned a pair of Asics for several years. I look forward to many good miles with this pair.

Great neutral shoe, with a lot of cushion which great for the knees. Only con is that usually the Nimbus are supposed to last 350+ mi and for some reason, they last me less than 50% of that distance. This about my 6 pair in several years of running...

These shoes are light and breath well and have great arch support.

Very comfortable and stabilizing. Wish there was just a little more cushioning in the heel. I had surgery on my foot and these are great

Really good shoe. Light and comfortable for distance.

In terms of softness and feel, they are great. I really like their looks as well. However, my main complaint would be that they are MUCH MUCH hotter than my previous shoes because they are made of some weird material similar to like synthetic workout shorts. I think that material choice was a very poor choice as it makes overheats foot. I don't run more than a few miles, but I couldn't imagine running even like 4 or more miles in these without my foot turning into a potato. If you live in any warm place, I would caution getting these for everyday use.
