Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Nimbus® 21

It's an ok shoe- I like the gel support on the bottom. However I noticed that walking on it for long periods of time causes pain to my ankles. Would not buy again

I have been using ASICS (Noosa Gel) for years & love them. I tried this shoe as it had more cushioning/support around the achilles, which is great. However, they need more cushioning for the soles of the feet. My feet hurt/ache every time I wear them :(

The GT-2000 7 looked more pink in the picture which is what I wanted. In real life, they are more Salmon colored or peach. I would have liked them to be more pink that would look better with blue clothing. Otherwise, I like the GT-2000's because of the arch support. An older version was the one I liked best.

Disappointed that the shoes run small and I have to return them. I followed procedure on how to measure your foot by tracing it while standing up to determine your shoe size and I measured out to be a size 11. When I tried on these shoes my toe was all the way to the end of the shoe.

They're perfect in terms of comfort but the tread doesn't seem to last as long as other models like the GT 2000s. Would be great if they could fix that

I have been wearing this style shoe for a few years and they seem they are made cheaper and cheaper everh

I have several pairs of the NImbus and always buy a size 9. Ordered the 21's and they are too small. Had to return and order the next size up and they just fit okay. Don't love them, because they seem a little wide since ordering a bigger size. Asics you need to go back to the way they use to be. This shoe is too expensive to not love them!!!

Shoe is much more stiff and not nearly as cushioned as last model; 20

The shoes are awesome but they still don't help with my plantar fasciitis. My heels and ankles still are in pain.

This shoe runs very narrow. I have to return it. Otherwise it's a beautiful shoe.

Cute, but comfort wise, they aren't better than my Ghost 12s...

These shoes run small and narrow. I ordered an 8.5 wide and they are more narrow than any other shoes I have. The feel of these has changed as well, not as cushy feeling as older models.

Not as comfortable as the last pr i bought.. the right shoe especially.. doesnt have enough padding...

These shoes are very comfy and I haven't any any issues with shin splits (from over-pronation) but my issue with them are that I CANNOT go on any length of a walk more than 1/2 mile before they start giving me bad blisters. It's frustrating because I purchased these specifically for walking and working out and for my workouts I go 2-3 times a week and do mostly HIIT but have cardio in it as well but walking is the ONLY thing that gives me blisters. I usually walk at least 3 miles but I can't even get through half of that before I can't take the pain anymore. Hopefully this helps someone else

Pretty stiff shoe but hopefully with time they will break-in and feel more comfortable. They do give great support and push off. Not sure I will order these again though :(

More narrow than previous years' models, causing me some discomfort during my 12 hr shifts. I have always been unhappy with the permeability of the toe, but with this added issue I will probably change shoes next time I'm due.

I have purchased Gel Nimbus 21 previously. Now I find that the soles are wearing out quickly. I run five days a week on roads.

The foam seems harder and the shoe toe rounder. Also not crazy about the colour, but the Nimbus gives my feet what they need, especially with tendonitis.

Need better inner sole. Great when i replaced it with a $30 inner sole.

This my 3rd very nice fitting again they are waring out under the toes very strange I would never recommend these to anyone

I love the Gel Nimbus 17, I am on my last pair so I ordered the 21. I do not love it. Overall it is much stiffer. It does not have the cushion in the insole and the sole itself is very different. I am sure it is a great shoe it is just not for me. I am an Asics fan so I have emailed and asked which new shoe is closer to the 17.

I had to return them. The shoes were very snug. I wear a size 11, and have a different pair that fits well. I plan on purchasing a half size up!

Needs more arch support, because these are flat. They fit well.

Comfortable, but lacks the cushioning of previous Gel-Nimbus. Order a 1/2 size larger based on other reviews, but it is a bit too large, should have stayed with my usual size 8.

Not as happy with these as my Sonoma gel 3. These are noisy walking an not as comfortable.
