I am sure the shoe is great but i have not got them yet. I think 3 weeks is way to long for shipping.

I've always worn a 10.5 dress shoe and a size 11 Gel-Nimbus. My Gel-Nimbus 21 in size 11 is too tight and too short in length thus doing a job on my big toe. It is also very rigid as the entire outersole in flat to the ground unlike the 20 and the recently introduced 22. I'm finding myself now having to buy a size 11.5.

It doesn't have the same support than the previous Nimbus-21 I have bought. I have a back problem and I felt the difference

I have GEL-NIMBUS 18 and GEL VENTURE 5.
I was feeling better running with GEL -NIMBUS 18 while running and did not have knee paining.
Hope that GEL-NIMBUS-21 would be better, I got it, but on days i run with the new shoes. i have knee pain. Is there a way i can return the Shoes and get refund.

This is the same shoe I have purchased 10 pairs of....all size 11.5 US. This pair the left shoe is short and rubs against my big toe badly. Was forced to wear this shoe this way because our post office is closed due to black lives matter. A 11.5 shoe should always be the same not a shorter size

I ordered these shoes before; I ordered the same size and shoe and it was smaller and narrower. Very poor ability to order online and get the expected product.

I've purchased the Gel-Nimbus 21 a few times now without any issue. For whatever reason this pair is giving me a lot of large and painful blisters. If this keeps up I'll have to retire them early.

Fit was good, but shoe was so uncomfortable I didn’t want to wear. This is the 3rd pair of ASICS I’ve tried on that just doesn’t feel right and I’ve worn nothing but ASICS for last 10 years. Felt like 0 cushion.

As soon as I put these shoes on I knew they weren't going to be comfortable. For me, there was no support and definitely no cushion.

Fit was excellent and styling was terrific, but... from a functional standpoint these shoes were far from that. I have been a loyal user of the Nimbus model from Asics for 20 years. I (was) because the shoe gave me what I needed...the best cushioned running shoe out there on the market. Loved that pillow-like feel, as did many other loyal Nimbus users. This model feels hard and stiff as a rock. 180 degrees in the opposite direction from what the Nimbus model has always been. End of an era....

I have problems with the size, normally I'm 9, but your size 9 is to much fit for me. I cant use it

I ordered the asics nimbus 21s hoping they would be better than the 20s. The platform of the shoe is too much. Great cushion but not the shoe for me.

I always wear NIMBUS even though I have been disappointed in the last few years. Fortunately, the sneaker was finally widened by the toe. However, the amount of cushion is not what it used to be. I run long distances and I think ASICS needs to add more cushion as in the past.

I used to love ASICS as they seemed made for my feet even in standard width, but changes in their last and design have made them unwearable for me. The cushioning has gotten firmer, and EE and EEEE sizes have an odd shape that makes the instep snug. Would have returned mine but wore them too much hoping they might break in...instead I’m stuck with overpriced shoes I can’t wear.

Look like dad shoes. You can do better. Bring back the Kinsei.

This product fell apart for me within 2 months. The stitching was poor quality and the adhesive used on the sole wasn't good

Hurts my heel when I run for long distances. I have had Nimbus shoes for the last 8 years but 20 and 21 hurt my heel

Narrow, heavy, and clunky. Also, I returned them, and I don't think they refunded me... So beware of that.

They feel smaller than other Asics of same size. I'm touching the front which I never have in other models.
Also the insole doesn't stay put inside the shoe.
Quite dissapointed of this shoes as been wearing Asics for 20+ years

Not same level of cushion as in other Gel -Nimbus 21 shoes purchased at retail stores. What happened to Quality Control Standards. Were these defecrive shoes that were unsold then discounted online?

Bought these on sale. They fit horribly. They scrunch my toes real bad after an hour.

This product has not performed at the level I am accustom to. The cushioning has basically worn out within 1 month. I have had other pairs of Gel-Nimbus 21 that have lasted about 6 months. This pair did not perform positivity at all
