Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus® 21

Have been wearing gel-nimbus for 10 years in a size 9. This pair my toe touched the end. I will try a bigger size for the 21 I guess.

The Asics shoe I purchased is loaded with comfort and support. I actually got it in a 1/2 size larger than I normally wear & it fits better that way. My only slight complaint is that it seems that ALL gym shoes today are made with a mesh toe area that I usually break through eventually no matter how short I keep my toenails!!

I've worn Asics Nimbus for a number of years to walk in. They are very comfortable, but I have to go up a size from what I wear in every other shoe.

Shoes were narrow and short. Wide fit more like a C

I love the bright orange color of this shoe and really wanted to keep it. Unfortunately they are not very comfortable. They feel padded ok inside the shoe, but the outer bottom feels stiff and makes them uncomfortable when walking. They feel big and klunky, not form fitting to the foot.

This is a very stiff hard shoe. Not a lot of cushion. I have a high arch and instep and didn’t feel like there was enough shoe to go over the top of my foot.

Asics just is not making shoes like they used to my old nimbus shoes were the most comfortable and they're getting really old now so I am really struggling to find shoes that work for me ever since that

I loved Asics. For some reason Asics has changed the cushioning in the bottom of their shoes. There is not comfort, you feel like you walking in a shoe with no cushion or a hard cushion. I'm so disppopinted I was such a Ascis gel nimbus fan.

Awful! These are hard as a rock on the bottom. ASICS needs to go back to how they were making Nimbus with actual gel on the bottom all the way through and get rid of this flyte foam. I wish I could find a new pair of 17's.

I'd been loyal to Asics Nimbus for over 7 years, but their resizing of the shoes completely changed things for me. I thought going with the wide model would help solve the narrowness issue, but it didn't. I don't have wide feet by any means and the shoes just feel so cramped it makes for an unpleasant run. Ordered Nimbus and Brooks Glycerin via Zappos. The Glycerins stayed with me, the Nimbus went back. Sorry, Asics.

FINALLY! Asics is BACK! I have been running in the Nimbus for years, but like many other unhappy reviewers the previous models changes were so awful that it wasn't the shoe we had known to love. The 21 series feels great with the wide toe box, excellent support and cloud-like cushioning. Loved the black with pink touches that I bought two pair because I'm hooked again and you will be too!

Love these Asics! So comfy and good support for my feet. I'm a nurse and can stand in them all day at work. The colors are cute- got the black/skylight.

Daughter loves these shoes, knew to over size for comfort.

I recently went back to Asics for my daily shoe as a PE teacher after experimenting with a few other brands and having continuous foot pain. I had a pair of Cumulus that I choose over the Nimbus and wanted to give the Nimbus a try too. I think I am now a Nimbus fan. They are more supportive on my foot and I like the sturdy heel. This particular color I wasn’t sure about but I really like them once they’re on my feet.

Everyone is so different in what they need from a running shoe. While some hated this Nimbus model, I found it to be great. I've been wearing the Nimbus since number 7 ... some have been great and some not great. I think these have a good amount of cushion (and I need a lot for my worn-out knees!). Maaaaybe the toe box is a little narrow (but tiny bit) but I can't find any other faults to this shoe. The black/blue/purple color is a really pretty combo! I always buy one size larger in my running shoes. I recommend trying these out for yourself to see if it's right for you.

This was just a replacement of my previous, worn-out bright blue Nibus 21's. They are exactly what I expected! I'm a little worried with each re-design, I won't like the new version as well as the last one. That has happened a few times. I thought I would grab another pair before their availability became scarce. I always have to size up a half size for ASICS.

I have been wearing these ASICS Gel-Numbus sneakers for a very long time - and recently went from a 17 to this 21. My shoe size is 6 and I've been fine with 6.5 in the ASICS to give my foot enough space. But these ran small and narrow, and I had to size up to 7. I LOVE the psychedelic blue/pink color and though it's not exactly like walking on a cloud, the harder heel gives more stability when I do my daily hike up a hill. I love these ASICs and love zappos instant shipping ! I don't buy my shoes anywhere else anymore!

Great shoe, just returned it, as it would not work for my activity- not running.

My feet are true to size, which is a 7 1/2. This is the first pair of ASICS that felt smaller in size. The shoe has great support all around, but feels a half size small. Returning for a half size larger

I found the shoes to be the best fit since I’ve been looking for a good pair of CrossFit shoes. I’ve been having problems with under pronation and these fit the bill perfectly!

I have painful osteoarthritus in both knees so stability is critical. I LOVE this shoe. It provides exceptional stability, support and comfort. My knees prevent me from running but they are fantastic for walking and weight training. Could use a little more arch support but all in all I'd give this shoe a 9.5 out of 10.

Most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn. Amazing cushioning and wider area near ball of foot allows foot to splay. Have one bad knee and opposite foot with plantar fasciitis and this shoe was perfect hybrid of cushioning and arch support that helps with each issue, respectively.

These Nimbus 21 worked and I ordered a 2nd pair. The 20 was obviously an off year and I had to throw them out. Glad the 21 is back to the previous good fits of 18 & 19.
