I love the comfort, but the shoe laces are really short. I have gotten shoes from you before and they've been perfect.... my guess is these are kids length laces. I did write to customer service, but haven't heard back yet. I have had the shoes over 2wks and have been wearing them skipping the 1st 2 sets of shoe lace holes

Asics has been my shoe of choice for many years. Great comfort and they last a while. The only issue with these Gel-Nimbus 21 is they run narrow and I have a small foot.

I love the look and feel of these shoes but like the last 2 pairs of Nimbus I bought they got a hole in the cloth upper within 2 weeks. I was able to use rocktape on inside before it broke through outer fabric layer though. They feel amazing on.
Great S,

Very lightweight and comfortable shoes! However, feels a bit more stiff and narrow than my Gel Nimbus-16. Also the toe box feels smaller. Otherwise, love how cushioned it feels for long runs!

Would like to see more mens colors on women's shoes, please! No more pink, purple... etc. Thank you!

Went on one run and feels like a good classic running shoe- this will probably be my shoe for steady run- probably not for my long runs or my fast quick run workouts - but for all the runs in between- wanting to head out on a good run-

I wear a 9-1/2-10 shoe an 10-1/2 W-11 M Asics. These fit comparably to the Nimbus 18's-19"s. The forefoot cushioning seems diminished. I wear them for work; I'm a nurse; they're pretty (I've gotten compliments) but I can feel the ball of my foot at the end of the day/shift. I have a mod/high arch and that seems ok. I would not pay full price but for under 80-90$ on sale they're pretty good. I bought 3 pair.

I normally wear a women's 6.5 wide to a 7, however, these seem to run a little narrow. Its very rare that I wear a 7 wide, going to try to exchange for a 7 wide.

My friend recommended these shoes for running she loves it. I bought this and a kayano 25 to try out. These shoes are comfy for everyday use and cross training. The toe box is tighter on these shoes than the kayano so running in them was uncomfortable for me. I still do like them for everyday wear. I'm a nurse so I'm on my feet a lot. I decided to keep them, will probably but in the future more for work and walking.

This is my second pair of these and I still love the fit. My only complaint is the laces are too short. I don't tie my shoes very tight and therefore need excess length. My old pair were just fine, but this new pair they are way too short. I think I need to buy different laces to be able to wear them comfortably.

I like the top fabric of this shoe, half the time my sock starts to show where my big toe hits the top. This has helped my arches and made running happen with less pain.

I don’t find any issues with the width of this shoe. The regular width fit me fine. The most comfortable pair of ASICS I’ve bought in the past few years. I’m normally a 7-7.5 in regular shoes but always buy an 8 in sneakers for thick socks. The 8 in these fit perfectly.

Fit and size were great and I love the shoes. They are not the most arch-supporting shoes I own, but I think part of that is getting used to a new brand.
I'd also recommend:
New Balance, Nike, Asics

I wear an 8 in street shoes. Returned the 8.5 which were perfect in the gel nimbus 17, for a 9. Fit much better. I tried the gel nimbus 20, didn't like. I have a med to narrow foot. The toe box was big enough with the increase in size. Heel fits well, no extra slippage. Minor back tightness with first couple days wear, no issue since. I wear these during the day and for walking, I'm not a runner. Hope this info helps.

I have ordered ASICS Gel-Nimbus shoes for many years. They are very comfortable and endurable. I love these shoes. However, the shoe fits a bit smaller than a regular size. Therefore, I had to order a slightly bigger size.

Love the Nimbus series but I felt like these fit a little more snug than my others. I still wear them and they have gotten more comfortable as I wear them.

A little narrow, but you solve it by buying the wide size. They are worth the tennis, they have quality.
