Excellent fit. Well made. Superior comfort. Long lasting. After several years of wear and tear, I wore out my first pair of 21s. So this time I bought 2 pair before ASICS stops making them. Great shoe!

The gel-nimbus has been my favorite shoe for many years but this version bothers my shins whether I am walking or running. I am only able to get a mile or two in before my shins begin to hurt. I have switched to the gel nimbus lite and do not have a problem.

There was a defect that kept poking into the back of my foot causing a blood blister.

I ordered a pair of Nimbus 21. The black pair made in Vietnam was perfect. The silver pair made in Indonesia was a half size too small. I returned them.

Front of the this shoe is narrow.
You can feel the waffle sole impression when your walking/running .
Made in China?
Made without care.
Stop buy China goods !!!!

Shoes did feel great the first couple times I wore them, but then started hurting my left achilles heel, as if they were actually putting extra pressure on the heel. Only happened for the left foot, ruined those shoes for me...

I purchased the Nimbus 21 from the online store. Same size and model (Nimbus) that I have now and love (I have a prior version of the Nimbus). Unfortunately, these really are no longer the same shoe despite the same name. The fit is now tight through the arch (presses down on top of foot). In addition, the cushioning is much harder than was on prior Nimbus models. Do not recommend.

I've been wearing the Gel-Nimbus since 2005 and this is the worst Nimbus that Asics has ever produced. When I tried them on, there was no forefoot cushioning whatsoever. I literally could feel the seams in the tread through the sole of the shoe. I don't know why Asics felt they had to cheapen the shoe by removing the cushioning, but they did. I ended up buying Cumulus 21s and they feel like the Nimbus 21 should feel.

There is no way the 4E is in fact that. It feels like, at best, a single E. So these will go back and I’ll try a big box store to get what I need.

I've bought ASIC wide running shoes before but this pair are very narrow. Can't even wear them after only 4 times. Super disappointed!

i bought these shoes approx, 3 weeks ago, I've been wearing them since the 17's love this shoe, but these are terrible. Not that comfortable, and my soles are about worn out on the bottom! Never in my life has a [air of sneakers worn out in 3 weeks. Do not recommend.

I am so disappointed in the 21. The shoe is too hard and stiff. I keep waiting for a shoe like the 18 that I could wear all day, running, walking, working or shopping. Please consider making another shoe similar to the Cloud 18 or Nimbus 18.

I bought this shoe three months ago and after wearing them every day to walk for three months, the right shoe ripped by the side.

I have been wearing the Nimbus since the 15. I am finding the 21 to be the worst of them, the level of comfort on these shoes is horrible. Guess im back to square one of looking.

Look like dad shoes. All they're missing is velcro straps. Aesthetically speaking, the Asics brand has went down hill considerably. Highly disappointed. Will look for another brand.
